A Permaculture forested 4047 m2 (1 acre) rural residential property is within 5 minutes stroll to the township of Lowmead. The property is in a row of former allotments that were used for the homes of the gangers and railway workers over a century ago.

The perimeter fencing is complete being made of steel rio sheets for trellising. To ensure privacy, the fences have been covered with Hessian.
