Description

Set on 35 acres with the BEST section of creek in the Terania valley, you'll marvel at the potential views of this property down to fast flowing rapids below and out to the picturesque valley with a mountain-scape beyond. The north-east facing views from the dwelling are currently obscured as there has been no farming activity on the land for 2 decades, but this could easily be changed given that the regrowth on the once dairy cattle property is only first-stage shallow growth. The author of this article has fond memories of Christmas mornings on the verandah of the historic 3 x bedroom house in times past, and can attest to experiencing those breathtaking views from the wide front verandah. The house, a double lock-up garage with workshop and the old dairy bails all sit on a wide plateau atop the land, and a small valley of mature cabinet timber trees lies behind the home giving perfect privacy from the entrance road. The internal sweeping access road is sealed and prettily tree-lined, and there are large colourful specimen trees around the frost-free plateau, all waiting for someone with a gardener's green thumb to make them showy again. There are fruit and nut trees galore, both common and exotic, and the rich soil is perfect for all manner of agricultural pursuits.

Like the land itself, the buildings are all in need of some TLC, but the bones of all three are strong. The home is around 120 years old, and as you would expect with a home of this era it has high ceilings with picture rails, VJ linings, hardwood timber floors, and lovely old ripple or stained glass windows and (some french) doors on all but the eastern side (which has previously been renovated). The compact home is designed in two 'zones'. On the south-western zone there are three sizable bedrooms off a hallway, and on the north-eastern 'zone' are the kitchen, a large bathroom and a good sized living/dining space with a working combustion heater. Outside there's a wide deck on two sides overlooking the creekside farmland and the orchards, and another two verandahs overlooking the tall timbers. There's a double compost toilet off the front covered deck.

Most importantly, this flood-free property has a long creek frontage to Terania Creek, including THE biggest corner/swimming hole in the valley. It falls away over rock ledges to form wide white water rapids then changes from deep fast flowing sections to pretty gibber-stone sections and back to deep water. Even in the current dry conditions it is beyond sensational.

Priced to suit the buyer looking for a big project but safe in the knowledge that a true gem lies beneath. Want to value add? That's a certainty, but you'll need to be quick for this one.
