Consisting of about 98 acres of mountainside country, it has approximately 30 acres of cleared farming land with the balance being rocky outcrops and native bush. The outcrops at the top of the property provide the most jaw-dropping panoramas to the Stirling Range.
However, the views are not the only asset here. There is a new truffle orchard that is intended to produce some of the finest truffles in WA. In addition, the property has an enviable supply of mountain-top fresh water captured in the 16 Megalitre dam that the current owners had constructed to secure the irrigation water to help produce the truffle bonanza.
The large irrigation dam is not alone, there are another three dams, including the highest one which is spring feed and always full. The water supply and the high quality of the soil underpin the value of the property.
The property is right next door to Castle Rock and the Skywalk, there is an obvious opportunity for a regular income stream from a tourism based venture.
The three bedroom homestead has been steadily renovated by the owners to provide a characterful and comfortable home. The kitchen is large scale, with stainless steel benchtops, a 900mm oven, a butler's pantry and heaps of storage. The living areas provide flexibility with their use as the dining and lounge can be interchanged as required. The sitting area at the end of the kitchen provides a sunny reading spot for those cosy winter afternoons. The front verandah sits high over the truffle orchard and has views to Manypeaks, Green Range and Bluff Knoll. At the rear of the house there is a coolroom, woodshed and garden shed combined. There is plenty of scope for a new owner to add to the home and put their mark on the property.
There is a unique wood construction shed that was used by previous owners as accommodation, but now is used for storage of farm equipment. A shadehouse for growing your own forest is included. Nearby is a large animal run for securing creatures like goats and curbing their tendency to wander.
