This turn of the century homestead is well secluded and nestled on 8 acres in a prime location only 5 minutes from Clare. The rich history of the land's fertile soil was the centre of a very productive mixed farming enterprise. For nearly three decades the present owner has enjoyed the lifestyle this property offers healthy & happy family life, hobby farming and income generation.
The fabulous homestead is original with spacious rooms, wide central hallway, and grand reception room. Character features include high ceilings, timber sash windows, timber floorboards, open fireplaces. The main/living dining room adjoins the country style eat-in kitchen. There are four good size bedrooms and a flexible floor plan to use the rooms as you wish.
A fantastic granny flat over an outside double room cellar is adjacent to the main homestead. This is self-contained with kitchen, living room, double bedroom and bathroom. Perfect for granny, young adults, guest accommodation, B&B or to rent out.
Professionally planned, low maintenance gardens surround the home, with a lawn tennis court for the active adjacent. Shedding includes a grand old shed with facilities for shearing, horses, pigs, goats and hay storage; also an old but very useful three bay open-fronted shed. A small potting shed and propagation hothouse is situated opposite the vegetable paddock.
The land is divided into a number of paddocks including a walnut, quince, organic vegetable & a free-range poultry paddock. The property is well suited for further development in organic farming or permaculture. The spring-fed creek and existing dam have potential for development as an extensive wet-lands area.
The property is very secluded with blue gums on the eastern boundary and open rural countryside elsewhere. The perfect hobby farm!
