Discover the tranquillity of this 40.9-hectare bush retreat, perfectly positioned just 10km from Drake and around 70 minutes to Casino. Offering breathtaking views, abundant water, and complete privacy, this property is ideal for anyone seeking a peaceful and sustainable rural lifestyle.

The land is a stunning mix of natural forest, partially fenced and running down to Plumbago Creek. With its elevated position, the property is protected from westerly winds, enjoys spectacular views, and does not frost - providing a comfortable environment year-round.

The original hardwood cottage, hand-built by the current owner nearly 40 years ago from timber milled on-site.
A newer partially completed hardwood cottage, featuring open-plan living and a wide wraparound verandah capturing both northern and southern aspects - ready for your personal finishing touches.

Over the years, the owner has used the property's resources sustainably, operating a small firewood business and building much of the infrastructure from timber grown onsite. A range of machinery and equipment, including a 12-tonne Hitachi excavator (negotiable), are also available as part of the sale.

Additional features include:
Gas hot water, solar power system with generator backup, and 80,000ltrs of water storage
Separate amenities shed with toilet, shower, and laundry facilities
Two well-constructed sheds with easy access, ideal for machinery, vehicles, or workshop use
