Inspection by Appointment.

An original Norton Summit orchard property lies waiting for new owners seeking the idyllic hills lifestyle within an easy 15-minute commute to the city.

This rustic property has rarely changed hands and with the current owners deciding to sell after 25 years, it is one not to be missed if you yearn for open spaces and the opportunity to create something special.

Relish the privacy of the secluded valley that this property rests across, with the quaint rendered stone Cottage, of 2 bedrooms and study, soaking up the north facing aspect. The cottage has been recently upgraded with updated kitchen, new roof and plumbing and being completely re-wired, ensuring its warmth and comfort and creating the foundation for the new owners to develop as they desire.

The property is situated on approx. 18 acres of land, with 12 acres boasting an impressive established orchard of apple, pear and walnut trees, producing varieties such as Summer Strawberry, Red Delicious, Golden Delicious, Granny Smith, Duchess Pears, Joseph Pears and Packham Pears.

The grounds require the attention of someone who enjoys the outdoors and has an eye for landscaping and the two ample sheds allow for storage of all the tools and toys needed for the job.

The land is fenced into 5 paddocks, straddling either side of Gum Tree Glade, making for a unique opportunity to consider if you wish to retain all 18 acres or possibly explore the interest of neighbours to purchase adjacent parcels in the future.

The cottage orchards are irrigated by a 3-phase power bore, which fills the Dam set high on the hill to gravity feed the property and testament to previous commercial growing days, a further pump and well are available should the need for more water ever arise. Or if your preference is to graze the land then the perimeter fences are all in good condition having been recently upgraded.

Norton Summit provides that perfect blend of hills living and ready access to the city where you can enjoy the sunset and a meal at the newly re-furbished Scenic Hotel after spending a day in your very own orchard.

Don’t miss this wonderful opportunity to be the next chapter of this historic hills’ lifestyle property.
