LARGE FAMILY HOME ON 259HA
This very attractive property is not far from town and features two homes, one of which is a very comfortable five bedrooms. A huge 50Ml dam provides irrigation water for a lucrative enterprise in cut wildflowers. There is great potential to increase revenue from this business. During the last year being a testing time for onfarm water storage, the paddocks on Glen Donald have been fully stocked and watered. The eastern edge of the property is bordered by a permanent creek with a couple of excellent water holes. The western edge is sheltered by a heavily timbered ridge emparting a nestled and peaceful feel to the main home.
