Royston Downs is fabulous boutique cattle fattening farm on 52 very fertile and fully fenced acres. Not only a farm in production with a bevy of Limousins slowly approaching their destiny, it has a selection of first class natural sub-tropical rain forest enclaves, centred on the Stanley River banks, that will take your breath away. Kingfishers, kangaroos and wild waterfowl abound, and platypus inhabit the river. The Stanley also provides for pasture irrigation (licence held) when required. The shade trees are spectacular and plentiful, across both titles.

With all the required sheds, shelter and excellent metal yards and Vet Crush, this farm has a carrying capacity of 70, with recent experience of about 30. There is water security perennially, very good improved pasture and satisfactory three and four-strand barb to keep the herds under control. High ground around the home paddock offers a guaranteed safe haven for the stock at times when the Stanley is in full flight, and momentarily claims the river flats’ pastures.

The residence has recently undergone a substantial renovation – inside and out, with extremely pleasing higher standards of internal quality within the expanse of very comfortable, large living areas. There is also a new bathroom and fully airconditioned living and bedroom spaces.

The country kitchen is a renovated delight that would appeal to a gourmet chef.It has a stainless steel large range and impressive hood – all gas and very well-proportioned with excellent storage, wider benches, custom height and great views to the property’s northern reaches and beyond.

Landscaping has been very well done front and rear of the houseblock. There is a small citrus orchard, a vegetable garden and poultry and hen house. All are within just metres walking distance of the residence.

The brick veneer exterior had received a new look with “ready render” finish, as has the repainted metal roof, in its new, striking colour scheme of mid-grey and cream trims. And a new double-door entry to a small vestibule makes a statement for all on entry. It is a fantastic three-bedroom home, and quite surprising in its expansiveness and desirable high quality fitout, across the board. It is the essence of country comfort with all “mod cons”.

Royston Downs is indeed a quality property, all set up as a going concern. Its two titles offer great flexibility in determining its destiny, including options as a country lifestyle microcosm. The evident wide scale of well-planned improvements and the first class visual appeal of Royston Downs are both remarkable.

Priced below replacement, and in excellent company in this exceptionally beautiful Stanmore countryside, it is a very attractive proposition, ready in all respects for its new owners.
