IN picturesque Wandering, across the road from a boutique winery and restaurant and about 91 kilometres from the metropolitan area of Armadale, Mitchibin would make a great addition to an established farming enterprise or could be run as a larger lifestyle property.
The property comprises five lots and is adjacent to and surrounded on two sides by a rural residential subdivision, which was originally part of the same property.
The subdivision has been developed for some years and has sealed access roads, underground power, provision for street lighting and a pleasant rural outlook.
The entire current Mitchibin holding is also zoned Rural Residential, should the new owner pursue subdivision possibilities.
The property is characterised by its generally elevated topography where fertile loamy valley soils lead to gravelly loams on the mid slopes and granite loams on the higher areas.
There are some pleasant elevated gullies where large trees hide granite breakaways, interspersed with winter creeklines which create cool hideaways with views through the trees to the rural landscape in the distance.
The panoramic views from many parts of the property provide a truly uplifting experience and make Mitchibin a very sought-after land parcel for anyone wanting a ‘tree change’ from the city.
Water supplies are from six dams around the property to enable practical access for livestock.
An old well that is covered over, bears witness to the long history of farming on this land.
The property has been run as a mainly sheep enterprise for some years and has a four-stand shearing shed with mains electricity.
There is an old set of timber sheep yards adjacent to the shed where a laneway system once fed sheep into the yards.
While the property has produced some very healthy crops in the past, no cropping has been carried out for many years, although strong crops growing on neighbouring land suggest Mitchibin would perform well as a cropping property when farmed using modern techniques.

“Mitchibin represents a rare opportunity to secure prime country suited to both grazing and cropping, close to town and an easy drive from Perth,” said Elders Real Estate listing agent Jeff Douglas.
The property is available as a whole or in portions.
Elders Real Estate reports strong interest in the property which is offered for sale by expressions of interest, closing on Tuesday, November 27, 2018, at 5pm.
