“Quality properties so near to town such as this are closely held and rarely come to market” says agent Garry Hall.

“This superbly located property is on the edge of town and has been in the same family for 40 years.

“A well set up enterprise, it is a must to inspect as top quality rural or lifestyle holdings with river frontage and water licence are so very hard to find.”

Known as Somerset, there are 52 quality acres (21 hectares) with a kilometre of river frontage and a five-bedroom double brick and tile home.

It has been built with a north-easterly aspect, and enjoys an assured rural outlook.

There is a study plus a conservatory, a renovated bathroom and kitchen. It also has solar panels plus solar hot water.

Other things that make this location family-friendly include daily mail delivery and a school bus, as well as mobile and internet coverage.

Outside the house there is a netted orchard, flower and vegetable gardens, mature trees for ornamental and windbreak purposes, and a clay tennis court.

The rest of the acreage features undulating clear pasture that has undergone a long-running suppression of noxious weeds. This improved pasture has also carried 200 plus breeding merinos.

You will also benefit from an irrigation licence from the river source, nine paddocks all with water, hay and machinery sheds, as well as sheep yards.

Rates are currently $362 per quarter, plus the pest and building reports are available on request.
