This rare offering comprises approximately 381.2 acres of rural agricultural land, combining expansive acreage with a contemporary, level-access, 6.4-star energy-rated (2018) double-glazed residence, plus the original circa 1910 two-bedroom character cottage. The possibilities are extensive—from farming and equestrian pursuits to potential income from the cottage or even subdivision (STCA).
The property carries significant history with the current owners being only the second family to own the property, with the property being held by the original family for over 100 years prior. Lyalls Road was named after the original owners, who received the land under the World War I Soldier Settlement land grant scheme. Behind the cottage stands a beautiful sandstone chimney—the remnants of the previous homestead, which was destroyed by fire in the late 1800s/early 1900s. Convict-made bricks bearing the arrow imprint remain at its base.
The property also offers an abundance of firewood and a supportive rural community where neighbours genuinely look out for one another. Large holdings of this scale rarely feature a modern residence, making this property a standout opportunity in the district.
