Opportunities of this calibre are incredibly hard to find. Set across approximately 20* acres of peaceful, producing, fertile park-like grounds, this extraordinary lifestyle farm combines a beautiful character home, an established high-producing food forest, impressive livestock facilities and exceptional water security, all within a private, tree-lined setting surrounded by substantial rural holdings.
Designed for those who dream of a more sustainable lifestyle, growing their own produce and embracing the freedom of country living, the property features an impressive established permaculture system using organic principles, that has been professionally designed using permaculture principles to create a productive, resilient, low-input and low maintenance system. Thoughtfully planned, the system incorporates alternating support and productive fruiting rows, creating a practical and considered approach to self-sufficient living. The established food forest is already yielding strongly, with more than 300 fruiting plants across approximately 120 varieties, including an extensive selection of stone fruit, citrus, tropical fruit, berries, bananas, nuts and bushfoods. The current owners have used the property to produce 100% of their household meat and approximately 70% of their fruit and vegetables year-round, demonstrating the genuine potential for a productive, self-sufficient lifestyle.
The productive areas have been thoughtfully designed for ease of use, with 16* raised vegetable beds, large shade house and the entire food forest fully irrigated. Automatic irrigation supports a low-maintenance, high-producing system, making this an exciting opportunity for hobby farmers, market gardeners, self-sufficient families or anyone wanting to enjoy fresh organic produce directly from their own land.
Water security is a major standout. The bore has been drilled to approximately 305* feet and cased to 275* feet, with the pump supplying approximately 100* litres per minute. A 22,000*-litre tank is supplied by the bore, while approximately 92,000* litres of tank storage supplies the home. A further 70,000* litres is positioned at the central garage, with an additional 44,000* litres servicing the poultry area.
Water is reticulated to most paddocks, providing permanent water access to livestock areas and supporting the property's productive farming infrastructure. Two dams, including one substantial, deep dam, while a second holding dam remains around 50%* full for much of the year.
The property is securely fenced with Waratah 100mm* x 100mm* Stiff Stay dog-proof fencing, making it well suited to livestock, dogs and a range of rural pursuits. The paddock layout includes four smaller paddocks, one substantial main paddock and additional grazing areas, providing excellent flexibility for rotational grazing, horses, sheep or cattle.
Livestock infrastructure is another major highlight, with a round yard, race, cattle crush, drafting gate, loading ramp and sheep flipper already in place. There is also a holding yard and sheep pen, with the existing setup offering excellent versatility for cattle, sheep, horses or hobby-farming operations.
Oversized chicken and duck facilities include multiple bays, individual runs and self-watering systems, while additional enclosures previously used for breeding macaws demonstrate the flexibility of the existing infrastructure. There is also a generous firewood supply, abundant storage and plenty of room to expand or adapt the property to suit your preferred lifestyle.
A sandy seasonal creek meanders through the property, creating an attractive natural feature while remaining well away from the residence.
Positioned among mature native trees, the residence enjoys a shaded, peaceful atmosphere and beautiful rural outlooks in every direction. The gorgeous character home sits on concrete stumps and is filled with timeless charm, including polished Jarrah flooring, VJ walls, soaring ceilings, decorative ceiling details, chandeliers, French doors and large windows that allow natural light to flow throughout.
The country farmhouse-style kitchen is both beautiful and practical, offering timber benchtops, a gas cooktop, extensive storage, generous preparation space and additional pantry facilities. A striking fireplace creates a warm focal point in the living area, while multiple French doors connect the interiors to the broad verandahs and surrounding landscape.
The flexible floorplan includes four bedrooms and an additional room off the lounge that could serve as a study, playroom or sitting room. The oversized main bedroom includes built-in storage, air conditioning and French doors opening directly to the verandah, while the remaining bedrooms are also well proportioned and equipped with air conditioning.
The bathroom is spacious and practical, featuring a large shower, generous vanity and direct external access, ideal after working around the property. An internal laundry offers excellent bench space, storage and direct access to the yard.
Wide verandahs around the home, including a large covered rear entertaining area where you can relax, host family and friends, and take in the peaceful views across the property.
Infrastructure is another major highlight, with a large double-bay open shed featuring a concrete floor, lighting, single-phase power, an adjoining carport and a working cold room. A second shed near the home has been partly converted into two separate insulated areas with kitchenette facilities, hybrid flooring, power and air conditioning, presenting exciting potential for extended family, guest accommodation, a home office or studio use. With further improvements and the appropriate council approvals, this area presents an exciting opportunity to establish potential dual living accommodation.
