A life-changing opportunity to acquire a well presented and diverse farm only 8 km from the popular tourist town of Denmark.

The farm currently focuses on a low maintenance "wild" Orchard, growing Heritage Cider apples. There are also fenced paddocks and multiple "wild" and very diverse zones offering multiple opportunities for other income streams.

Buildings and storage comprise a small farmhouse, a cellar door, storage sheds and sea container storage. In addition, there is a large utility room / workshop and two large static caravans.

The property offers an unusual range of environmental diversity, with multiple distinct areas showcasing local species of plants and animals. There is good soil for horticulture and grazing, with the opportunity for additional grazing or planting of crops.

11 hectares at the Southern Edge of the property comprises highland wetland and mature (primary rainforest) Tingle / Karri / Jarrah / Marri / Sheoak woodland. Part of the wetlands is identified by DBCA as a rare Peat Bog, with associated flora and fauna. An area adjacent to Glenrowan Road has been identified as a potential future homesite or commercial opportunity, (microbrewery etc), with north westerly views overlooking a large sweet-water dam, which is home to long-neck turtles.

Moving North through the farm, following the farm track, the bushland opens up to offer a magnificent panoramic view across Scotsdale, with rolling green hills and tall trees. A large soak with an island and linking bridge are to the western edge.

Around the dwelling, there are 4 paddocks over 3 hectares. This fenced grazing is ideally suited to keeping small numbers of “house” live-stock. The main orchard irrigation soak is located in this area. (This soak can be topped up by a pipeline that links with the other two Southern dams).

Water supply to the dwelling is by two tanks with a combined storage of 135,000 litres. The cellar door, workshop and static vans have a further 95,000 litres of storage. All tanks are always full by the end of winter.

The licensed cellar door and its car park are located past the dwelling.

Moving further North enters the fenced Orchard area where over 6000 heritage cider apple trees and over 400 mixed fruit trees cover some 10 hectares. The cider apple trees are planted and pruned in the traditional way, requiring minimal intervention and encouraging the production of a vibrant population of farmhouse yeasts.

The mixed fruit tree acreage offer additional income via local fruit sales, plus the opportunity to produce a range of speciality fruit wines.

An avenue of large gum trees leads to the main storage areas for stock and farm machinery. A generator provides power to this area and there is a 90,000 litre rainwater storage tank for washdown and general use.

More orchards on North facing slopes of Karri Loam soils give way to 2 hectares of regrowth Karri / Sheoak at the Northern edge of the property. (With Shire approvals, timber can be milled from this regrowth for on-site construction use.) A small creek cuts through the property at the Northern Edge marking the terminus of the old Scotsdale logging railway. A fire-break at the northern edge is accessed by two creek crossings.
