This 52ha property at North Loburn is in a very private, tranquil setting, set well back from the road, up a wonderful tree-lined driveway. This leads up to the attractive homestead, set in expansive lawns with mature trees and established gardens with a hard surface tennis court - all in a sheltered microclimate.

The farm is a tidy, well-laid-out unit with many facilities for several stock and crop farming systems.

The property has been managed as a deer farm for the past 30 years, running around 200 hinds and fattening progeny. It is fully equipped for deer, with the total area deer-fenced, good deer yards and shed, crush and scales. Currently running deer, sheep and cattle, it is assessed as being able to carry around 500 Stock Units. It is also well-supported by other farm buildings and yards, including a feed silo, haybarn, workshops, vehicle and storage sheds and cattle yards with a loading-out ramp.

Shelter belts, with some woodlots, are a feature of the property, creating its own microclimate for the home and the stock. There is a fenced-off duck pond with a maimai, which has amenity planting and wild-life.

The homestead is a 250sqm two-storey home which consists of four-bedrooms, three bathrooms, open-plan kitchen/family room, scullery/laundry, separate dining room, large formal sitting room and a boot room/freezer room. A double garage is attached and an office is adjacent. French doors open from the sitting room onto a sheltered, sunny, wisteria-draped verandah wrapping around two sides of the home and there is a large brick-paved patio on the Eastern side of the home for outdoor living.

A quality property where a farm living environment can be achieved with the retention of an interest in farming activity, all be it on reduced scale.
