Tarnwar Park

Rarely does a property offer the perfect marriage of productive grazing country, natural beauty, and peaceful seclusion - yet Tarnwar Park delivers exactly that. This near-100-acre holding unfolds from rolling grazing country and an established olive grove down to lush river flats fronting Wards River, where mature native trees line the water's edge and the landscape feels entirely your own. Private, picturesque, and utterly peaceful, this is the kind of place you come to and never want to leave.

LAND
Spanning just shy of 100 acres across two titles, the property offers a diverse and productive mix of undulating grazing country, an established olive grove, and fertile alluvial river flats. Zoned RU2 Rural Landscape, the land is divided into 9 large paddocks & 2 small paddocks and carries a solid fertiliser history - including applications of chicken litter - giving it a strong productive base. The current owners are running approximately 30 cows & calves, testament to the quality of the country. Established mature native trees are scattered throughout, and the vegetation along the river's edge creates a stunning natural corridor. With no neighbouring properties visible, the privacy and tranquillity here are genuinely exceptional.

WATER
Water security is a standout feature of this property. Approximately two kilometres of Wards River frontage forms the southern boundary, and the property holds a Water Access Licence (30 MG WAL), along with a bore, providing an excellent foundation for irrigation and stock water management. Multiple paddocks are serviced by stock troughs, and a large dam provides further water security. Rainwater tanks supply the house, and additional dams in the paddocks round out an impressive and well-considered water infrastructure for a holding of this size.

HOMESTEAD
Positioned on a plateau with sweeping views over the river flats and towards Wards River, the three-bedroom weatherboard homestead is country living at its finest. A Colorbond roof, wide wraparound verandah, and beautifully maintained established gardens frame a home that is as comfortable as it is characterful. Inside, a recently renovated open-plan kitchen, living, and dining area flows seamlessly under real hardwood timber floors. The kitchen features a bay window perfectly framed to capture the river flat views, while all three bedrooms enjoy their own outlook and direct access to the verandah. A separate bathroom and laundry complete the residence.
Adjacent to the main home, a timber studio with hardwood frames and floors offers two separate spaces plus its own bathroom & Kitchenette
- rustic, well-maintained, and full of charm. A carport services the studio, and off the rear, a pool with a deck looks out over the flats - the ideal spot to watch the afternoon sunsets. There is also a Chicken coop, established Veggie patch and orchard.

INFRASTRUCTURE
A substantial 30m x 15m machinery shed provides excellent shedding options for the working property. The shed includes a fully enclosed workshop bay with roller door and concrete slab, an open bay with concrete flooring, and a larger area ideal for tractors, implements, and equipment plus 3 phase power. Old diary suitable as stables with storage/tack room & an older hay shed. Cattle yards complete the infrastructure package, ensuring the property is well-set up for continued agricultural use.
