"Drummond Base"
"Drummond Base"
The property comprises of a cottage and work-shed on approx.. 12 idyllic acres with pleasant bushland views.
The dam is a venue for family fun while providing a water source for the abundant bird-life and native animals.
The selection of eucalypts and the placement of a 360* sprinkler system, make this an eco-friendly, country retreat.
Drummond Base is NOT a farm, rather it is a haven of tranquillity where you can enjoy wandering among the native orchids while watching various Kookaburras, galahs, magpies and parakeets go about their business.
I am told that families of roos with their joeys congregate outside the dining room at dawn and dusk in Spring.
The two bedroom cottage with attic accommodation is quite spacious and could sleep the average family. The undercover alfresco would be a great place to enjoy an evening drink and watch the sunset. It could also provide the venue for celebrations. The picnic area to the west with the fire pit is another focal point of this magnificent property.
The cottage itself is of insulated cedar and colourbond construction.
The woodfired Masport combustion heater warms the entire cottage, while the two split-system air-cons cater for all thermal variations. There is also a 7 kilowatt solar installation (and STARLINK satellite internet provider).
The kitchen with electric appliances is spacious and painted a crisp white. The bathroom is of a similarly high standard. There is a septic system.
The large shed with lockup annex has 3 phase power, a remotely controlled roller door and tin roof to service the adjacent water tank.
The main water tank is of concrete construction with a liner. There is abundant water here with 2 large tanks , and a 50 meter bore that pumps 1000 gallons an hour. No need to access the dam.
And finally.......there is an iconic Hills Hoist.
This truly is an idyllic property.
