Overview
Wahroonga presents an exceptional opportunity for those seeking a productive rural lifestyle property that seamlessly integrates modern living amenities with the benefits of fertile agricultural land. Located just 26 kilometres from Forbes within the scenic Lachlan Valley, this property spans just over 50 acres, combining lifestyle appeal with income-generating potential.
Offering a contemporary homestead designed to maximize space and natural light, the residence features four spacious bedrooms with a potential fifth bedroom or office, two bathrooms, and a modern open-plan living area that serves as the heart of the home. Comfort is assured with ducted underfloor air conditioning and a slow-combustion fireplace, alongside two split systems that extend to the garage or guest flat, supporting a versatile living experience.
The north-eastern aspect of the home enhances its appeal, providing sweeping views of the surrounding countryside and the nearby Lachlan River. This setting contributes to both the tranquility and the functional value of the property.
Water security is a notable asset, supported by an 8 ML stock and domestic water licence and a substantial 30 ML general security water licence. This ensures reliability for farming and domestic needs alike.
The homestead surrounds are thoughtfully developed with lifestyle in mind. A covered entertaining and barbecue area with gas connection encourages outdoor gatherings, complemented by established olive, citrus, and nut trees. The presence of a greenhouse featuring a hydroponic system and vegetable garden, an above-ground swimming pool, and an underground garden sprinkler system supplied by a river pump further enhance the property's amenity. Rainwater storage capacity is robust, with 75,000 litres available.
Additional accommodation and leisure are facilitated by a versatile two-car garage currently used as a games room or self-contained guest suite complete with bathroom facilities, supporting multi-functional use.
Approximately 20 hectares of arable land supports productive farming activities. This land includes established lucerne pasture, 8 hectares of alluvial loam with river frontage, and 13.75 hectares of red loam soils well suited to cropping or improving pasture. An updated irrigation pipeline services these areas, equipped with multiple outlets for traveling irrigators, supported by significant river frontage of approximately 300 metres.
The farm infrastructure is comprehensive with a lockable workshop featuring secure internal storage and a mezzanine floor, powered by mains and solar electricity. Additional facilities include a machinery and hay shed enclosed on three sides with power connected, a newly installed irrigation system along the river, multiple hydrant risers servicing the property, a high-pressure irrigation pump, and steel cattle yards. Negotiation is possible for the sale of two traveling irrigators.
This property represents a rare lifestyle and income opportunity, offering fertile soils, reliable water access, extensive farm infrastructure, and a comfortable modern home in a sought-after rural location. Its blend of productive farmland and quality living spaces will appeal to buyers seeking both a rural retreat and a functional small farm.
