The land is undulating to hilly with some steepish country and includes heavy fertile soils and established pastures of clover and rye grass.
The country has had regular applications of fertiliser.
The terrain includes granite outcrops, established trees for livestock shelter and there are several well-maintained dams.
As well, the reliable Tod River runs right through the property to guarantee ample stock-water for the farm.
The block is fenced into five main paddocks with Cyclone mesh and timber posts with some supporting iron droppers.
A handy sized implement shed is in use although the old shearing shed, is not being used.
