Designed for those who dream of a more sustainable lifestyle, growing their own produce and embracing the freedom of country living, the property features an impressive established permaculture system using organic principles, that has been professionally designed using permaculture principles to create a productive, resilient, low-input and low maintenance system. Thoughtfully planned, the system incorporates alternating support and productive fruiting rows, creating a practical and considered approach to self-sufficient living. The established food forest is already yielding strongly, with more than 300 fruiting plants across approximately 120 varieties, including an extensive selection of stone fruit, citrus, tropical fruit, berries, bananas, nuts and bushfoods.
