A lifestyle plus business, in the grove

'Aquiferra' is a 3.7 hectare multi-faceted property offering a lifestyle with opportunities for income and/or a home business. Ideally located, on the edge of the renowned Bridge Pa Triangle within easy reach of all amenities, a boutique olive oil business presently runs alongside the private residence nestled behind the olive grove, with additional land available for grazing.

Approximately two-thirds of the property is planted in established olive trees of several different varieties, with the grove having been cited as the most productive in the country. The olives are currently picked and taken off-site for pressing, before returning to the property for bottling and then sale through various channels, including the local Farmers Markets and direct to restaurants and retailers. 'Aquiferra' is an established and highly regarded olive oil brand, and prospective buyers will have the opportunity to purchase the business as a going concern if desired, including plant and equipment, or perhaps as an investment or source of lease income.

The warm 1950's era home has undergone extensive renovation and features a beautifully appointed kitchen, open plan dining and living with lovely native timber floor, a separate lounge, three double bedrooms and two bathrooms. The home flows well to a spacious, covered outdoor living area which overlooks the olive grove in complete privacy.

The excellent shedding serves as storage for the running of the olive business, as well as a base for the bottling operation and office, but it could be repurposed to suit a variety of other uses. There is also approximately one hectare of grazing land with established trees for shade and shelter.

Overall, the well-presented and maintained property represents an exciting opportunity for those in the market for a lifestyle property with income. For full details, please contact Tim or Kris. Tenders are invited by 4pm, Thursday 11 March 2021.
