The Property: The 6.7437 Ha (approx 16.75ac) property is located near to the top of Mt Duckworth (behind Yallingup) and has areas of well drained sandy soils with large stands of native trees planted on boundaries and native Peppermint trees and Grass Trees in groves throughout the Estate.
The vines are also protected by vermin proof fencing and have been pruned for aesthetic reasons rather than production but could easily be bought back into production.
The 3 x 135,000 litre steel and 2 x 90,000 litre concrete water tanks are connected to the local community bore water system and are further charged through winter via rainwater collection from all rooftops.
The Mount Duckworth Community Association Inc supplies water to these tanks from a community bore near the bottom of Mt Duckworth hill. This system is maintained via modest community rates. The purchaser of the Estate will be required to join the Association and be responsible for its annual levy.
