Manageable acreage for keeping sheep, alpacas or horses within easy reach of town can be a real find.
So this versatile 14.85ha (36.7 acres) holding should be at the top of your list if you’re in the market for an attractive lifestyle hobby farm with a comfortable family home, good pasture and numerous sheds and outbuildings.
Only a 10-minute drive from York Street, the Cuthbert property is screened from the road by a belt of tall eucalypts and consists of three big, grassy paddocks and a fenced house block.
The land is flat with good year-round access through the property. It is mostly cleared with lush pasture for running stock and mature native vegetation for shelter. With plentiful water from two lagoons, the land could also be used for cropping or a horticulture venture.
The focus of the established home is a freshly painted open lounge and dining area with jarrah floorboards, a wood stove and air conditioning, and a lovely outlook over the garden to the property beyond. Off this are the kitchen, a utility room and the laundry near the back door, where a useful second shower allows for workers to clean up before entering the house.
Three bedrooms are king size and one has a walk-in robe. The fourth bedroom is a double and would work brilliantly as an office or activity room. The bathroom has a corner spa bath with a shower over and the toilet is separate.
The house is set in neat lawns and low-maintenance gardens with a carport with an automatic roller door at the side and a sheltered, covered patio along the rear.
Beyond the house block are various outbuildings.
An impressive 10m x 12m GP shed has 3.5m clearance doors for parking the tractor and other big vehicles. This has power connected, workbenches along one wall and clear panels for natural light as well as industrial lighting.
A toolshed, four open-fronted machinery or storage sheds and a vehicle shed with a roller door provide plenty of parking, storage and workspace. There’s also a big chook run and a shade house.
The picturesque property has been in the same family for the past 40 years, and is now presented for new owners to enjoy the many benefits of the well-established estate with excellent prospects for lifestyle and development.
