On 10 glorious acres located just 2 km’s from the charming township of Mapleton is this irreplaceable acreage bounded by natural bush, grazing paddocks and crystal clear creeks running all year round. Just so tucked away and private. To help with keeping the grass under control the present owners have cattle grazing the outer grounds. There are also horse stables and mounting yard if horses are the passion as was the present owner’s and their children when the children were young. The experience begins as you drive along the country lane which is in fact council maintained Smith Road, with not another house in sight. Just a few hundred metres in and a creek appears. A slight bend in the road takes you through a tunnel of greenery provided by the trees lining the creek. Already the thought comes to mind. Is there something really special about to come into view? As you turn in to the property past the stately fig and through the brick entry statement your eyes are greeted with more than one might have imagined.
