Rich in History and Opportunity
Originally known as Smith's Mill, the property operated as a wood mill between 1935 and 1955, employing up to 40 people – many of them European immigrants who settled in Western Australia post-war. This legacy brings character and depth to a property already rich with natural beauty.
In more recent years, the land has supported livestock, hay cropping, and a marron farming operation. The existing large dams are also believed to house silver perch, offering potential for aquaculture revival. The majority of the land is arable with excellent soil quality and a high water table – ideal for a range of agricultural pursuits.
Cottage Comfort with Rustic Charm
The cosy original Jarrah-built cottage offers:
• Comfortable open living with a slow-combustion wood fire and reverse-cycle split system
• Country-style kitchen with wood stove, gas cooktop and oven, and island bench
• Three generously sized bedrooms, or option for two bedrooms plus an extra living space
• Upgraded bathroom, second bathroom and laundry off the decked outdoor entertaining area
A meandering driveway through a winter creek leads to the cottage, accessed via a discreet gated entrance — the natural beauty here unfolds as you arrive.
