1165 Scott River Road, Scott River WA 6288

With over 600m of frontage to the Scott River, this 80.45ha block offers a fantastic blend of farming and lifestyle. Large open areas of pasture blend into parkland cleared bush. An artesian bore provides plenty of water. There are also multiple good dams. Fences are all in good operational order and there is a large solid hay shed. A very old Group Settlement home is probably past its use by date but adds character to the area near the river. A protected area of around 5ha provides a lovely bush retreat and a taste of the way the land used to be. As is normal in the southwest, soils can vary markedly in a short distance and there are several mostly heavy soil types on the property. Professionally farmed for many years, there is an excellent fertiliser history. The area receives reliable winter rain totalling around 1,000mm per year, most of which falls in June and July, tapers a bit in August, with finishing showers sometimes into October. Frosts are rare due to the proximity of the Southern Ocean and an endless empty beach just 5km away. Salmon, dolphins and whales will be seen on this stunning wild coast. Surprisingly, although the property is around 30km further from Perth than Margaret River, the driving time is very similar, and the drive through the bush down Sues Rd is a joy. Currently running as a beef stud, the property would attract potential lessees, or you could run it yourself. The Scott River is a wild and beautiful area with a real "big country" feel, and there are some major farming operations in the area.
