About this property

Privately nestled beyond bespoke Sunshine replica wrought iron gates and locally milled Pyrenees timber posts, this remarkable 213-acre lifestyle property invites you into a world where nature and opportunity converge. A meandering 500-metre driveway leads to a hidden haven, thoughtfully developed to celebrate self-sufficiency, natural beauty and future potential. At the heart of the property is a charming stone hut, handcrafted using materials sourced directly from the land itself. With a slate floor, soaring ceilings and a mezzanine-level loft, it captures panoramic views that stretch across undulating countryside, making it an ideal setting for a tranquil artist's studio, a weekend retreat, or a character-rich bed and breakfast venture (STCA). Beyond the hut, a large 100m x 30m Ranbuild shedpermitted for agricultural useoffers substantial infrastructure for both business and lifestyle needs. Amenities within the shed showcase beautiful craftsmanship, slate floors, recyled timbers, corrugated iron feature walls and hand-forged copper and brass fittings along with a wood fired Esse stove. A 14m x 3m transportable cabin provides further self-sufficient accommodation, complete with a queen bed, wood heater and connection to the main solar system which comprises a 4.5kva with generator back up. A 91-foot bore delivering crystal-clear, potable wateris tested and certified for human consumption. A windmill pumps to a 3,000L tank, supplying stock troughs and keeping the property's dam consistently topped up. With three 25,000L poly tankstwo on the shed and one on the cabinthe owners benefit from a comprehensive, gravity-fed water system. In the wet season, natural gullies spring to life, and a gentle waterfall near the shed adds a rare beauty to the landscape. The land itself is both functional and picturesque. Divided into two expansive paddocks, fully fenced and stock-proof, the property currently supports 40 head of Brahman cattle and 20 camels, with well-maintained cattle yards, a race, loading ramp and 9m x 9m stock shed. Over 100 acres of the land offer rich, chemical-free grazing, while the hilltops and bushland provide a scenic contrast.
