Leave the big smoke for a life in the valley

Comprising a pristine valley with a large gully dam and a tree-lined creek, these three adjoining rural lots totalling 113 hectares in the Shire of Donnybrook-Balingup would provide the ultimate opportunity for cattle farmers or those looking for a lifestyle retreat.

In close proximity to multiple state forests, the land is about 7km south of the Kirup townsite.

“The property lies in the heart of the state’s fruit bowl, famous for apples, pears, stone fruit and vineyards,” Dempsey Real Estate Director Mal Dempsey told West Real Estate.

“Kirup itself is a small South West town offering a basic level of services and facilities, with a population of 150 people. It is located about 200km south of the Perth metropolitan region and around 60km south-east of Bunbury.

“The large town of Donnybrook provides a greater range of services and facilities and is located less than 30km north. It is the main service centre for this area and is a relatively small town with a population of about 2500 people.”

Mr Dempsey said the undulation of the block created many elevated sites on which buyers could construct a home to capture the fabulous views, with each lot having individual titles.

With road frontage and connected power, the opportunity also offers a 105,000kL water licence, with the main water supply of the property provided by the large gully dam.

“The natural undulation of the property is that it contains a valley landform with a permanent creekline bisecting the property, running in a north-south direction,” Mr Dempsey said. “The large gully dam is located centrally on the property, built across the main permanent creekline.”

Looking at the whole package, Mr Dempsey said it was a rare opportunity, with quality soils, abundant water supply, a desirable location and varied uses.

“Land use varies from general agricultural with cattle and sheep production, through to horticultural crops, orchards and, in some instances, viticulture,” he said.

“The property has been utilised predominantly for livestock production in the form of cattle in recent years.”
