Built in 1837, the original stone farmhouse is one of the oldest in the area, with rolling land ideal for playing gentleman farmer. For the horse and hound set, there are several fenced paddocks. There are also two ponds, apple and pear trees and a 165-metre sloped “fairway” for pre-game golf practice.
