Secluded acreage with beautiful stone wall home and views to the northern ridges
'Paraken' sits within the village community of Little Billabong, just 25 minutes to Holbrook.
'Paraken' boasts a beautifully presented 3 bedroom home, built with stone sourced from the property. The modern kitchen has a large gas stove, double oven, dishwasher and island bench. Stunning views can be enjoyed throughout the home, or sit back, relax and take in the views from the veranda.
The property provides approximately 115 hectares of prime grazing country, equipped with a machinery/ shearing shed with steel panelled sheep yards attached at the rear, 20 head steel cattle yards, 11 paddocks and 3 reliable earth dams including 1 permanent spring fed plus gravity fed stock water to concrete troughs.
The conservation area on 'Paraken' is split into three sections totalling approximately 223.7 hectares. The Upper Riverina Dry Sclerophyll Forest contains highly diverse flora and threatened species habitat. The most significant ecological asset of the conservation area is its value as habitat for threatened woodland birds such as Barking Owl, Black-chinned Honeyeater, Black Falcon, Brown Treecreeper, Gang-gang Cockatoo, Scarlet Robin and many more.
Situated about an hour's drive from either Wagga Wagga or Albury and just 5 minutes off the Hume Highway, 'Paraken' ticks all the boxes for a perfectly blended relaxing lifestyle property, with small to medium scale farming opportunity.
Annual funding is available for conservation management actions within the conservation area.
