A 3.6-hectare lifestyle property in Lawrence offers the perfect setup for animal lovers. The property features a four-bedroom 1960s home with a large, sunny lounge and "good bones," presenting a great opportunity for renovation.

The main attraction is the extensive outdoor space, which includes:

- A three-bay pole shed

- A two-bay pole shed

- An old deer shed

Ideal for a family, the property currently supports a small egg business, and the 40 chickens may stay for the new owners.
