Set in the wide, open beauty of Ardgour Valley, this 8.015 ha (more or less) property offers an increasingly rare combination of privacy, productivity and postcard-worthy scenery. The land unfolds gently across lower and upper terraces, each paddock framed by established shelter and specimen trees, rabbit-proof fencing and long rural views that shift with the light. Reliable water is supplied via the Ruffell Road scheme, complemented by your own bore, supporting grazing, planting or future horticultural ideas. The loess soil (wind-blown silt) has been spray-free for a minimum of five years, and its free-draining qualities lend themselves well to a variety of cropping options. Two troughs (one plumbed) and timed irrigation on all young trees make the establishment of shelter and privacy significantly easier. The elevated upper terrace is a standout a natural vantage point with sweeping views across the valley, rolling hills and distant ranges, and an ideal place to position your future dream home among the emerging fruit and nut orchard. In the meantime, the tool shed and carport provide practical storage for machinery, equipment and lifestyle essentials while you plan the next phase of development. Below, pockets of mature trees, sheltered hollows and open pasture create a peaceful, highly usable landscape.
