Built in 1860, this impressive sandstone homestead at 158 Yakilo Homestead Road, Spalding, is steeped in rich history as a former Royal Coach changing station. The solid sandstone construction lends timeless elegance and character, ideally suited for those who value heritage combined with comfort.

The residence features three inviting bedrooms and two bathrooms, complemented by a formal lounge warmed by a slow-combustion heater, providing a cozy ambiance throughout colder months.

The extensive 37.72-hectare property offers a productive rural lifestyle with approximately 35 arable acres suitable for cropping or grazing, alongside 15 acres of established lucerne. Four fully watered paddocks allow for efficient stock rotation, and the existing functional shearing shed and small-scale sheep feedlot make it ideal for sheep, cattle, or horses.

Outbuildings include a 21m by 12m insulated workshop and an 18m by 9m machinery shed, both powered and suitable for farm equipment storage and maintenance. The original sandstone stables and shed echo the property’s historic roots, presenting opportunities for restoration or alternative uses subject to approvals.

Energy efficiency is addressed with a solar array linked to a Tesla Powerwall 2 battery, capable of supplying up to 90% of the electricity needs depending on usage.
