'Benton Rise Farm' - 2.75 acres (approx)
In a prominent location and well known amongst locals and weekend visitors alike, this enchanting property is most certainly far from the mundane. Playing host to a very popular weekend local produce market and with a home of great character surrounded by a fabulously eclectic garden, 'Benton Rise Farm' both teases the senses and fills the mind with potential.
Developed around the principles of sustainability, this unique property is a joy to explore due to endless contrasts that await with each corner. Stunning mature palm trees set against a tropical garden, verdant veggie beds with rare and popular produce, an ornamental pond set amongst landscaped natives and the traditional box hedges of a cottage garden. And not to mention a variety of livestock enclosures currently home to rare breed pigs, spring lambs and various poultry.
Impossible to miss is a 1910 vintage 'red rattler' train carriage, central to a weekend produce market operated by the current owners that continues to grow in popularity. It offers a great return on investment to commercially minded buyers that may wish to take advantage of significant goodwill generated over recent years. Takings are consistently in the region of $6000 per weekend.
Built in 1939, the red brick Californian Bungalow more than compensates for its modest scale with an array of original features such as timber paneled walls and ornate plasterwork. More recent refurbishments include a remodeled bathroom, polished floors and an updated kitchen with an original Stanley Waterford wood stove that is still in use every day. Water supply is via a significant tank capacity in addition to a bore, whilst the 24m x 12m shed is factory scale and would suit a variety of lifestyle or home based business pursuits.
Inspect: By appointment. Interested buyers can attend the weekend market.
