5 William Street, Mount Perry QLD 4671

This beautiful 25-acre property is just a 2-minute walk from the town's centre, General Store, Grand Hotel and Federal Inn, yet it still offers the privacy and tranquility of a country retreat.

THE HOME - The solid, 3-bedroom home has loads of character. It has a charming, low-set front porch with French doors, that overlooks rose gardens and adjoins a semi-enclosed, wrap-around verandah. The kitchen and bathroom are recently renovated, and the home is freshly painted throughout, leaving a blank slate to add your own personal touches and renovations.

THE PROPERTY & GARDENS -
4 DIFFERENT PARCELS OF LAND THAT LEND ITSELF TO A CONTINUING OASIS OF PRIVACY, OR AN INVESTMENT IN FUTURE DEVELOPMENT.
Over 100m of permanent Hugelkultur garden beds form part of more than a quarter-acre of food forest. The property supports over 3 dozen fruit trees, most of which are fenced within the house yard.

With rich and fertile soil, there is a permanent spring-fed creek, which creates a rainforest-like environment on the property. There's incredible potential to turn the lower level of the grounds into more food forests, protected and nestled by the lay of the land, and sustained by its water retention.
The creek has previously been used to pump water for garden irrigation, and the house has a 10,000-litre concrete tank that has not needed filling for 3 years. The property also has town water.
Magnificent large trees create a natural protective canopy that shades a tranquil BBQ area for outdoor living or entertainment.
The area near the house also has two frames for a greenhouse, and two 4m raised wicking garden beds that have winter covers to grow abundant food in the winter and all through the year. The property has two 3x3m sheds, a smaller 2x3m shed, and a large shed that has previously been used for a truck garage, a workshop, and for chickens. This large shed is solid in construction and offers a potential project to create separate living quarters.

Set amidst a beautiful and user-friendly yard, the gardens were created using numerous permaculture principles, and include established plants used in permaculture design. The back section of the 25 acres has roughly 18 acres of usable land for cattle or horses, and is mostly fenced, with incredible views of the town and surrounding mountains.
