A country scene to tug at the heartstrings, this romantic 2.5 acre (approx) property with a charming and well maintained 90 year old cottage surrounded by fruit and shady specimen trees is an authentic rural escape that harks back to a bygone era.
Built by the area's first postman, who planted a number of the apple trees and a giant messmate at the top of the driveway, the property has also been known as the Tamarillo Fruit Farm and supplied local restaurants with its finest fruit.
A stroll through the orchard reveals eight varieties of apples, quinces, limes, olives, figs and tamarillos, as well as wattle trees, native pines, sheoaks, grevilleas and exotics such as a golden elm, an oak tree, liquid amber, a weeping cedar, pepper tree, flowering peach and a even snowball a tree.
The two bedroom cottage is largely original and offers hints of its early art deco beginnings with detailed ceilings and picture rails, Baltic pine floors and double hung windows.
There is also a built in wood heater, a kitchen and meals area with a gas stove, separate living and dining areas, a bathroom and a lock up machinery shed or garage.
