LOCATED within the lush, rolling green hills of South Gippsland is this unique property, presenting a multitude of opportunities to the new owner.
The current vendors have lovingly created an amazing farm that allows them to be totally self-sufficient in fruit and nuts.
The trees are mature and produce large quantities of high value produce such as persimmons, olives, figs, kiwi fruit, citrus and pome fruit.
There is the opportunity for selling at farmer’s markets or local outlets. Other options such as value adding are possible.
On approximately 21 acres (in 2 titles) of fertile land, with a comfortable Miners Cottage, an added Studio and large shed, the ability to live off the land and reap the rewards from this property is very appealing. The vendors buy very little food, as most of what they need can be produced on the property.
Features of the property include:
• A period 3-bedroom, 1 bathroom weatherboard Miner’s cottage, with a detached studio that also includes an additional bathroom.
