For the first time in 31 years, this certified organic blueberry farm situated on a stunning 31 acre homestead, is ready for new owners. Beloved and beautiful, Yellingbo Berries offers an immediate income and an enviable lifestyle. Having been home to goats and horses in the past, they would be well housed here, once again.
Let your imagination soar with the freedom this property can provide. With first harvest in November, income is assured and you can manage the entire business from the comforts of your own glorious property. Two acres (approx.) of certified organic blueberries await you, and the sorting and packing shed with grading machine, size sorter, and cool room provide the infrastructure for this successful business. Renowned for its good rainfall, this area enjoys an ideal climate for berries, grapes and/or cherries. With paddocks for livestock, cattle ramp, propagating shed, garden beds, ample fruit trees, machinery shed and hayshed with yard, previously used for goat herding, your path to self-sufficiency is clear. In the past the property has also been used for horse agistment, so bring your ponies!
The beloved family home captures stunning views of the gardens, distant mountains and beyond. On offer are 4 comfortable bedrooms, including main with ensuite and dressing room, and lovely lounge with picture window framing the brilliant and ever-changing seasonal foliage. Imagine yourself enjoying the serenity of the Japanese garden, complete with lake and waterfall, crossing a bridge to the artist's studio. A home library/study with engaging north facing views to Mt St Leonard and the south end of the Great Dividing Range, would also ideally serve as a home office. The open plan kitchen with Jarrah cabinetry and rumpus room with open wood fire adjoin the covered deck and petanque (bocce) pitch, perfect on a relaxing afternoon.
Sensitive to its environment, this property has undertaken land works to establish habitat for the endangered Yellow Helmeted Honeyeater and hosts a wide variety of flora and fauna, with an unnamed creek flowing through. In addition to a livestock dam, the property boasts an abundant water system comprising a retarding basin, 1 mgl (approx.) settling dam and 3mgl (approx.) main dam, which ensures irrigation for agriculture crops and garden. The restoration of the native bush atop the ridge included planting 700 trees to create wildlife corridors. For the new owners of this home, you will eagerly anticipate the bounty from the variety of fruit trees including pink grapefruit, nectarine, cumquat, mulberry, lemonade, orange, cherry and apple.
This property is an environmental haven and an honourable legacy of workmanship. Inspection will impress.
