For those who covet a rural lifestyle without sacrificing easy access to city amenities, this 13.44ha holding (approx. 34 acres) in the lush King River area presents an exceptional opportunity.
Equally, it will answer the demands of farmers looking to retire near town without giving up the myriad of rewards of living on the land.
This is a versatile estate, zoned general agriculture and well suited to running sheep, cattle or alpacas, keeping horses or establishing a horticulture venture.
A 12-minute commute from Albany, the property is located via a long driveway through natural bush ending at the house block, where there’s an old homestead and a three-bay open-fronted machinery shed with power connected.
Sheltered by tall eucalypts and native bush, the home could be restored, but new owners may choose to replace it with a modern building tailored to their own needs.
It consists of three bedrooms house, which requires significant work to make it habitable again. Alternatively, it can be knocked down and you have a blank canvas for your dream home.
There are also several old sheds around the property, and ideal spots for a chook run, veggie gardens and an orchard, as well as sheds for any purpose.
Consisting of lush pasture, the grazing land takes up about half of the estate, the remainder being original native vegetation for character and shelter. Water is abundant – the property is in a good rainfall area and has two rainwater tanks.
In addition to an enviable lifestyle, a property of this size allows for an income from a number of possible ventures.
Families aspiring to bring up children in a natural environment with plenty of scope for healthy activities will recognise the many positive aspects and huge potential of this affordable hobby farm in an idyllic location.
