The land is well set up for grazing, with 11-12 paddocks, batten and wire fencing, post and rail around the house and electric fencing throughout. Cattle handling facilities, including a loading race, make the property ready for stock management. It has a history of producing hay and haylage, highlighting its productive capacity.

Currently grazing cattle, the property has an existing lessee who is keen to remain, offering a seamless transition for new owners wanting continued stock management.

This property is a rare combination of lifestyle comfort, agricultural capability and natural beauty - perfect for those seeking both peaceful rural living and a working property close to city amenities.
