The main deck receives protection during the hotter months from permanently fixed shade sails, while the rear balcony is roofed for all-weather use.

A 64 m² shed offers secure storage and vehicle space, with an attached annex that serves as additional accommodation. This self-contained unit includes a kitchenette, bathroom, bedroom, and a comfortable living and dining area warmed by a freestanding Oregon pot belly stove. The undercover outdoor area extends the living and dining space. Nearby, a fenced, shaded area ensures pets have a safe space, while another fenced area behind the shed is evolving into a native bush sanctuary.

Water is sustainably sourced from runoff from both roofs into a tank, with a pump system drawing creek water to a concrete tank and troughs. The land is divided into seven main paddocks, with a central set of drafting yards, and water troughs for each paddock.

Since 1987, the property has been enriched with a diverse array of trees. Fruit trees include over ten mature stone and pip trees (plum, peach, pear, apple, quince and nectarine), seven citrus (lemon, grapefruit, tangerine), and more than 15 prolific feijoa trees, with recent additions like mulberries. Nut trees are abundant, featuring over 25 walnut trees planted before 1994 - yielding over 300kg this season - alongside pecan, chestnut, and hazel varieties. Timber trees, planted mainly on the slopes for wind protection include eucalypts (mostly saligna), Tasmanian blackwood, lusitanica cypress, and black walnut. Many are high-pruned to 8m or more, with some eucalypts and blackwoods now reaching milling maturity.

This beautifully positioned lifestyle property offers a harmonious blend of natural beauty, privacy, and productivity. With a comfortable, sun-filled Lockwood cottage, a versatile shed and annex, abundant fruit and nut trees, and mature timber plantings, it’s a self-sufficient haven ideal for those seeking a peaceful rural retreat with income potential and sustainable living.
