Abbeys Farm - Lifestyle or Mixed Farming Enterprise

Cleared pasture (east coast cattle mix) occupies 45 acres though the forest can also be grazed. A seasonal creek with near permanent pools traverses the property. Fencing on the property is good and there is a new set of cattle yards with loading ramp and vet crush.

A fenced irrigation area occupies 9.5 acres and is separately fenced. It is serviced by two dams constructed in 2011, a near new diesel motor and centrifugal southern cross pump. The system was established to drip irrigate row crops (papaya) and can also provide water to the house and sheds.

The timber house dates back to the early 1900’s and was renovated about 2008-10 making it a very comfortable home with three bedrooms, one bathroom, timber kitchen, lounge/dining area and verandah. Gas powers the stove, hot water system and fridge while electricity is supplied from a diesel generator plus a 12v for essential night use. The owner intended to establish a solar system to avoid rising power costs. Grid power is available a short distance from the property if required. The house has 10,000 gallon rain water storage and septic system for waste water treatment. There are other outstanding house sites on the property giving great views if a new home was an option.
