Flawlessly crafted with a major extension, full renovation and receiving award winning status for the builders efforts in 2013, this family character home is of high distinction.  An inspired family design across voluminous proportions with multiple living and dining zones indoors and out with breathtaking scenery. 
 
Livestock can be moved with ease of management from paddock to paddock via interconnecting laneway system which links to the 'Red River' steel cattle yards with loading ramp and vet crush, which is central to the property and timber cattle yards on the eastern side of the property; also linked by the laneway. The shedding is exceptional plus 3 interconnected bores and large holding tanks offering ample water security and peace of mind in the dryer times.
