Completed in October 2025 by Luke Van Heek Builders, this stylish three bedroom, two bathroom, north facing home combines considered design with the infrastructure of a serious rural enterprise. Set on a working aquaculture property, it offers a comfortable family residence alongside a fully equipped production base - all set on 31 acres.
The large family living room showcases timber throughout, with Spotted Gum secret nailed flooring underfoot and Blackbutt exposed beams overhead. A Cheminees Philippe slow combustion wood fire is paired with a brick thermal mass wall, while three phase reverse cycle ducted heating and cooling runs throughout the home, supported by high specification ceiling fans. A second lounge or media room gives the growing family additional space.
The kitchen features porcelain benchtops, an Electrolux gas cooktop and an Electrolux electric oven, with a large hutch that conceals everyday appliances when not in use.
The master suite looks over the deck to rural views and includes a large ensuite with Spotted Gum cabinetry, floor to ceiling tiles and a generous walk-in shower. The family bathroom also has Spotted Gum cabinetry, along with a second vanity, a powder room and a separate toilet. Both bathrooms have heated floors and heated towel rails.
Outside, the wide ModWood veranda and deck is maintenance free and includes a second wood fire, suited to evening entertaining. From here you can overlook the wide landscape and breathe in that clean country air.
The property operates on a fully off grid power system, with 100kW of solar panels, a 50kW inverter with three phase supply, and a huge 120kWh battery bank giving the operation independence from the mains. Backup is provided by 120kVA and 60kVA generators. Three ColorBond sheds, each approximately 18m x 9m, provide generous working space, supported by a workers' lunchroom with toilet and shower.
Water security is a clear strength. Licences include a 74 megalitre surface water diversion licence, a 4.9 megalitre commercial groundwater bore licence and a 2 megalitre stock and domestic groundwater bore licence. Existing pond infrastructure supports the operation, with twelve broodstock ponds and twelve production ponds. Three storage reservoirs hold water on site, while an effluent pond is irrigated onsite through the irrigation system. An emergency water supply for the hatchery adds further operational confidence.
This is a property for a buyer who values both lifestyle and capability. The residence offers comfort, warmth and quality finishes, while the power, water, shedding and pond infrastructure provide a strong foundation for continued aquaculture production or a new venture.
For the buyer who wants to live and work on the same land, the combination of a new, well appointed home and established infrastructure is difficult to match. Daily living is supported by year-round comfort and generous indoor and outdoor entertaining areas, while the working side of the property is well equipped. Inspection is highly recommended to appreciate in person the quality of the build and the scale of the infrastructure.
Please note. The advertised price is for the freehold property and improvements mentioned above. An extensive list of aquaculture operational equipment is available upon request and can be purchased at additional cost.
