(Don't forget to view our Video - refer to VIDEO icon)

Forreston is located just a short drive from Gumeracha. It was originally settled in the 1860's and was a thriving township for a number of years. Today the area is serviced by Gumeracha and is known for its fertile land, cherry orchards and vineyards. The Tour Down Under visits this area with the renowned Checker Hill Road being used for the “King of the Mountain” cycling events most years.

Meander along this quiet country road until you arrive at Number 97. The driveway, although steep, is concreted all the way to the house, making it safe all year round.
The Western Red Cedar house is located at the end of the drive with ample covered parking and flat areas for vehicle storage. The pretty house on the hill is surrounded by decked verandahs both protecting the home in all seasons and allowing plenty of options for outdoor entertaining. A home among the Gum trees with an old rocking chair spring to mind here! The house offers comfortable accommodation with 3 double bedrooms ( 2 with Built in robes) an open plan living and meals zone and a renovated kitchen and bathroom. The kitchen has ample storage options with overhead cupboards and a wide fridge recess together with roomy bench tops and near new oven and hobb.
A capacious slow combustion heater keeps the home warm and cosy in winter, ducted evaporative air conditioning keeps the house cool on those hotter days.

A beautiful dam is well placed to catch water run off. Currently home to 2 duck families, I 'm sure a gaggle of geese would thrive happily down here. Raceways have been created to allow for stock movement to this area without risking them escaping onto the road.The bore also provides water to the gardens and stock troughs dotted about the farmlet. The current owner has grazed both goats and alpachas over the years. The stand off electric fencing,
means your stock will be safe and secure. A small arena in the top paddock has recently been utilised as a veggie garden with the watering hoses still in situ
if you wish to reinstate it. Alternatively a perfect spot to exercise the pony.

The pressure pump delivers the rainwater to the house from the 5000L storage tank. The bore pumps up to a holding tank then gravity feeds back down to the troughs and gardens. Bore water can also be used in the house if necessary. The shed/workshop is powered with concrete floor and is not too far away from the house. Vehicles could also be kept in here if needed. There are various other sheds and small stables located around the property for hay and equipment storage.

This well maintained and managed property is being sold due to a business relocation. If you are hankering for a small acreage property that is well set up, where you can “live the dream , then why not call to make a time to view. I'm looking forward to hearing from you.
