Every so often a signature rural property comes onto the market offering the essential ingredients for an investment in the very best that the Hastings hinterland region has to offer.
Glen Echo combines these ingredients in a package that has for many years been held in high regard in the local community.
The substantial landholding of almost 277.6 hectares (686 acres) sits among other large holdings providing an outstanding rural backdrop of fertile hinterland valleys.
As a working property the rolling ridge country has a well established year-round carrying capacity of around 180 head of cattle presenting an opportunity for an on-farm income.
Multiple paddocks with spring-fed and run-off dams and pasture improvements have enabled the current and former owners to maximise the grazing potential and year-round feed availability.
Other infrastructure including yards and five-bay concrete slab shed ensure all the vital elements are in place for a livestock enterprise.
Every signature property includes a stand-out home and ‘Glen Echo” delivers with an elegant homestead that has recently received a comprehensive restoration.
Heritage features are combined with the conveniences of modern living through sensitive improvements to the floor plan.
At the heart of the four bedroom home is the expansive kitchen which flows into an open plan dining and living area.
The generous proportions allow for a large island work area in the kitchen which benefits from quality appliances and stone bench tops.
Ducted air con and a wood heater ensure year-round comfort while spacious verandahs offer al fresco dining options.
Generous bedrooms including a significant main bedroom with fireplace, all boast sets of French doors and retain their decorative cornices and joinery.
The delightful main bathroom offers chequerboard tiling and a large clawfoot bath which truly reflect the country ambience of the home.
This expansive rural property also features a three bedroom managers home complete with double garage, open plan living and air con throughout.
There is much on offer in this attractive package that will appeal to those seeking a very special country lifestyle.
