This 137.47 hectare (339.55 acre) property is utilized for beef cattle and plantation tree farming, while retaining significant natural bush areas and features a comfortable and spacious four bedroom weatherboard home established in 1947, plus income from timber plantations.

The homestead has spacious open living areas with a Saxon fan forced wood-heater in the kitchen-dining and sitting room with open fire in lounge room, both of which radiate heat to the bedroom area in the winter months. Four spacious bedrooms, sunroom, bathroom with separate shower and bath allow for comfortable family living, while the productive gardens are capable of producing a constant supply of fresh seasonal fruits and vegetables.

Established in warm sunny position, and with a pristine spring water supply, gravity feed to the home, sheds and garden make this an attractive rural hideaway.

Approximately 45 minutes drive from the North West Coastal centres of Devonport and Ulverstone it is very well suited to purchasers not wanting to be right on top of the coastal or urban landscapes.

The home is built in a position where much of the farm area can be observed and with the Winterbrook Creek flowing through most of the property provides many scenic opportunities and ample stock water.
Outbuildings include a colour-bond double garage, a workshop (galvanized iron) near the homestead and an operational eight stand dairy (minus the milk vat).

Cropping had regularly been undertaken in prior years (seed potatoes and swedes) as well as forage fodder crops. With reliable annual rainfall, and fertile soils excellent yields were achieved. Approximately 48 hectares (120 acres) is currently used for grazing beef cattle.

An annual fertilizer regime is applied of 0-6-17 at a rate of 3 bags per acre to maintain soil nutrient levels and support pasture growth and soil health.

The property has two Eucalypt plantations each of approximately 20.2 hectare (50 acre) currently developing on the elevated areas of this property, the first due to be harvested in approximately 5 years time. The first plantation is on a contract shared basis at harvest, the second is a lease contract with quarterly payments over the lifetime of the contract. Both contracts are with Gunns ltd. and are transferable upon settlement.
The balance of the property is comprised Native bush either side of the Winterbrook Creek, on the elevated areas, providing sheltering for the pastured farming areas, and on those deemed too steep or likely to affect natural habitat and watercourse areas.

The house, grounds and gardens feature vermin proof fencing, with internal fencing being a combination of traditional mesh and barbed wire boundary fencing, and two strand electric internal fencing for stock control.
This property has income from plantation, income capacity from livestock management and sales, as well as lifestyle appeal with a large landholding, providing a number of recreational opportunities with the trails through the forest plantation being used as part of a number of recognized endurance rides as well as training trails.
Winterbrook creek itself has a healthy trout population, and the Leven River and its well know fishing habitats are literally two minutes away.
