Ravensbourne is highly regarded for its fertile volcanic soil which supports a number of established orchards in the area.
The country is very picturesque. This property is situated along the Esk Hampton road on an elevated scenic 5 acre block which is in a private location that attracts many native birds and wildlife.
The school bus drives past the front entrance. It is only a 5 minute drive to the Hampton cafe and 15 minutes to Crows Nest CBD (supermarket, doctors, chemist, post office and school) and a 20 minute drive on the New England Hwy will take you to the Highfields shopping centres.
The home is in immaculate condition and boasts views from the large wide verandah over to the dam where one will see a few ducks on the water. The small creek is along the boundary, it is only seasonal and currently has running water ( never caused any flooding issues.)
The owners have cleared the land of all noxious weeds and the garden around the home has been lovingly landscaped. Plenty of water – 4 large interconnected rain water tanks supply a total of 100,000 litres of water. Along with the solar system and large18m x 4m shaded igloo vegetable garden one can live self-sufficiently, experience the tranquility of the land and breath in the fresh mountain air.
There is plenty of storage with two large sheds and storage under the home. A wide ramp leading onto the verandah provides easy access for the disabled. The large double carport provides parking within close proximity to the home.
