‘Willabrook’, a 37-hectare property at 30 Parrishs Road, Upper Kangaroo River has an asking price of $4.5 million to $4.9 million.
An original 1920s-style homestead, the working cattle property has also operated as a luxury country holiday rental.
The main homestead has five bedrooms, plus two one-bedroom cottages.
A key feature is the private river flat that forms a natural island and is surrounded by the waters of Kangaroo River, complete with quiet billabongs and grassy banks that are used for camping and family get-togethers.
Other notable features include a self-contained manager’s cottage, vegetable garden, fountain and garden settings.
One of the selling agents, Belle Property Berry’s Gary Dale said the property had been a sanctuary for the Farriss family.
“That’s why they’ve kept it for 30 years, because it’s really been a sanctuary from the heavy world of rock,” he told the Mercury.
“It’s beautiful, they’ve got absolute deep water frontage on the river… It’s virtually untouched from the 1920s, and that’s the way they wanted to keep it.”
Mr Dale described it as the “perfect working farm”, and had a full-time on-site caretaker.
