About this property
You know, I've often wondered what I'd want in retirement, what it would look like. The first thing I'd want is a renovated house, not too big, not too much to look after, because I'd want to spend most of my time outside, and I think I've found one. Let's go have a look. Well, this stunning two bedroom home has recently had a renovation and modernization, with kitchen upgrades, new ovens and stovetops, new floors, and a stunning new bathroom. It's ready to go, and since its renovation, no one has lived in the home, so you would be the first. The block itself is 115,038 square meters, which in the old scale is a little under 138 acres. I'd also want a place where I could have my own cows and raise my own food, and I'd also want a spring fed freshwater creek that I have pumping rights from, so I can water all the cattle and keep all the fields green year round if I wanted to. Wonder where I'd find that. And I definitely want a large five bay shed, two of which are lockable, far enough away from the house that I could make as much noise as possible and wouldn't upset the wife. But I'd also want a heap of land, like over a hundred acres of land, so I can drive my buggy around, the neighbors can make as much noise as they want, and I'd never hear them. Hmm, wonder where I could get that. And if I was really thinking about retirement, I'd want somewhere close by where I could have a social outing with my mates, somewhere like a golf course that's got lawn bowls and, I don't know, a tennis court and a pool. I don't know where I'd find that either. Now, the biggest problem is when you get over a hundred acres and you finally get the renovated property and you get the freshwater creek, you can never have a pub just at the end of your street. The other thing that I'd want if I had a large property is I'd want to have fuel close by, as well as a convenience store. I don't know if that's even possible. And I think to myself, if I get the renovated house, not too big, not too much to look after, but I still get the big sheds not too close to the house so I can make as much noise as I like, and I get the almost 130 acres, and it's got the freshwater creek that I can pump from, and it's got the cattle yards, and if it's got the pub at the end of the street, and it's got fuel nearby, and it's got a golf course nearby, there's no way it's near the beach and a boat ramp where I can go fishing or crabbing. Hold on a second, this place does have everything. I'll tell you what, I'll make you a deal. If you can book in and have an inspection and buy this place faster than I can convince my wife to, it's yours.
