Fencing & Paddock Structure
The property is predominantly fenced with hinge-joint fencing, providing a practical and functional subdivision for livestock management. While some sections would benefit from ongoing maintenance and improvement, the existing fencing infrastructure provides a sound basis for the continued operation and further development of the property.
