It has to be said that this parcel of land is one of the finest in the district...once mentioned, the response is almost always the same...'I know that really nice farm just out of Hampton!' Well, here it is for the taking! As retirement beckons, 'Collingwood' has been family held for 67 years. Being nothing short of an absolute credit to the family, this property boasts some of the most magnificent undulating, kikuyu countryside the region has to offer. Relatively weed free with lovely stands of timber which offer not only beauty but also shady and practical shelter for cattle. Towering native eucalypts adorn the paddocks, while the view from the house includes established Jacarandas, Moreton Bay Figs and your small but very own orchard of Avocados, Pecan Nuts & Macadamias.
HOME
The home is a well kept family home, restumped on steel for longevity along with storage under the home with a cold room and double car accommodation. Three bedrooms, large country kitchen and lounge/dining with a wood heater for the cooler months with ceiling fans throughout. A lovely covered outdoor space adjoins the dining area.
WATER
Water is secure with heaps of rainwater tanks supplying the house with some 26 000 gallons (over 100 000 Litres) currently connected to the house with yet another 11 000 gal (42 000 Litres) at the house that is unused and another 5000 gal (21 000Litres) at the cattle yards. Large shed roofs offer run-off and keep these tanks topped up.
Originally a Well and now cased as a bore, this has been the main supply of water for livestock for many years with other bores on the property and 2 of those are electrically equipped and also supplying stock water around the property to seven troughs. Water usage was much higher at the property during dairy times and has been cut back considerably since dairying finished around 10 years ago. Bore/Well water is stored in 2 x 5000 gal and 1 x 2000 gal tanks and reticulated to troughs. Five dams also supply paddock water for cattle and any other livestock that you desire.
PADDOCKS & FENCING
Incredibly clean kikuyu country along with predominantly rich red soils, with some darker basalt soils on the southern boundary, the country is A-Grade grazing country and only enhanced by 3 laneways serving some 9 paddocks for ease of stock handling. Fencing is all hardwood split post and 4 barbed in mostly good condition.
SHEDDING & YARDS
Plenty of shed space exists for those wanting to store machinery, cars, caravan, the boat or trucks with a 24m x 12m fully enclosed steel Machinery/Workshop with mezzanine, concrete floor and power throughout including 3 phase.
