This rural lifestyle property, known as "Barakee," is located at 24 Naumann Road, Back Plains, within the sought-after Inner Downs region. Spanning approximately 320 acres (129.488 hectares), the property offers a versatile mix of cultivation, quality grazing land, and timbered ridges, making it an ideal holding for mixed farming and lifestyle pursuits.

The property features a quality brick homestead constructed in 2011, providing a spacious and functional layout.

Outdoor living is enhanced by a recently installed Inspire pool adjoining the entertaining area, perfect for relaxation or hosting guests. Additionally, there is a double garage with remote access.

Infrastructure on the property is extensive and well-appointed, including substantial shedding and facilities for cattle and equine management. There are steel cattle yards complete with race, crush, and loading ramp, as well as five stables for equine use. The property is supported by reliable water infrastructure, including a solar-equipped stock bore approximately 80 feet deep servicing troughs and tap points via two poly tanks, two dams, a spring-fed seasonal gully along the southern portion, and approximately nine rainwater tanks supplying domestic and shed use.

The land is characterized by fertile black soils throughout, with a gently undulating ridgeline timbered with box and coolibah trees providing natural division and excellent shelter for livestock. Pastures are well established, comprising a productive mix of native species alongside creeping bluegrass, Rhodes grass, bambatsi, and sweet kikuyu thriving in creek flats and gully areas. Approximately 40 acres are currently utilized for forage production, most recently planted with forage sorghum.

Fencing is in very good condition, with boundary fencing predominantly consisting of 4-5 strand barbed wire supported by timber and steel posts. Internal fencing mainly comprises 3-4 strand barbed wire with steel posts. The property is subdivided into seven paddocks with a central laneway system feeding into southern pastures for efficient livestock management.

Additional improvements include two large sheds: Shed 1 is a machinery shed/workshop measuring 30m x 50m with adjoining 15m x 30m and 30m x 30m skillion extensions, constructed with a steel frame and concrete flooring, equipped with two lockable roller doors and 3 phase power.
