Located approximately 7km north-east of Geurie and 36km south-east of Dubbo, “Kalua Homestead” is an appealing rural holding combining productive basalt country, reliable water, practical working improvements and a charming period homestead. Proudly held by the same owners for approximately 40 years, the property reflects a long history of careful management and presents a well-balanced opportunity for grazing, cropping or mixed farming pursuits within easy reach of major Central West services.
Comprising approximately 96.3 hectares (238 acres), “Kalua Homestead” features undulating red basalt soils, with the country contoured and mainly arable. The property carries an established pasture base comprising lucerne, clover, phalaris, cocksfoot, chicory and native grasses, providing a productive foundation for livestock and mixed farming enterprises. Scattered Kurrajong timber offers natural shade across the holding, complemented by three strategically located fenced tree lots which add shelter and character to the landscape.
The property is divided into six main paddocks and seven smaller paddocks, with well-maintained hinge-joint, plain wire and barb fencing throughout. A practical laneway system assists with the movement of livestock between paddocks and the working improvements, supporting efficient day-to-day stock management and pasture utilisation. The combination of productive soils, established pastures and a functional paddock layout provides flexibility for a range of agricultural enterprises.
Water is a key feature of “Kalua Homestead”, with a well-developed system supporting both livestock and property requirements. The holding is supplied by four dams, an equipped well and a solar-powered bore. The well and bore supply two storage tanks with a combined capacity of approximately 36,000 litres, gravity feeding stock troughs and the homestead garden. Additional rainwater storage includes a 90,000-litre tank together with two 22,700-litre tanks associated with the homestead and garage, further enhancing the property’s water security and operational functionality.
The working improvements are well suited to the scale and nature of the property. A 26m x 13m steel-framed enclosed machinery shed features three-phase power, lighting, 15-amp power outlets and a part concrete floor, providing substantial machinery, workshop and general storage capacity. Steel cattle yards are equipped with power and water and incorporate two cattle crushes and a loading ramp, providing practical livestock handling facilities. Grain storage is another valuable feature, comprising two 30-tonne Allbulk silos together with a 100-tonne flat-bottom silo. A machinery loading dump further supports the efficient handling of grain, machinery and farm inputs, contributing to the overall practicality of the holding. These improvements provide a sound platform for ongoing farming operations and offer flexibility for future owners to tailor the property to their preferred enterprise.
At the heart of “Kalua Homestead” is the charming circa 1903 three-bedroom weatherboard and clad residence. Surrounded by established lawns, mature trees and garden plantings, the home enjoys expansive views across the surrounding countryside and retains many appealing period features. Stained Merbau verandahs extend along three sides of the residence, creating an inviting connection between the home, gardens and rural landscape.
Internally, the kitchen and meals area features vinyl cork flooring, 900mm electric range and double sink, while the adjoining lounge provides a comfortable living space with carpet, wood heater, ceiling fan and direct access to the verandah. The master bedroom includes carpet, a built-in robe, ceiling fan and fireplace, while bedrooms two and three are also carpeted. A separate carpeted office provides a practical workspace within the home.
Character features are evident throughout the residence, including Wunderlich ceilings to the hallway, bedrooms and lounge, part timber-panelled walls and a traditional central hallway. Ducted evaporative air conditioning through floor vents services most rooms, providing added comfort during the warmer months. The bathroom includes a shower and double vanity, with a separate toilet and practical laundry with tub completing the accommodation. Additional features include a double septic system, wireless NBN and a dog and poultry yard.
Complementing the residence is a double enclosed and extended garage with concrete floor and power, together with substantial rainwater storage.
