Security screens. split system A/Cs. Back patio and 2 car carport. Insulated ceilings. Outside there is a well lit and insulated Art Studio easily converted to a sleep out (4th bedroom) or work shed.
The 11 to 12 acre property is surrounded by tough local eucalyptus trees used as a hedge and for a renewable firewood source. Seasonally you will see small native finches flitting through the trees.
The property has 1000 plus pistachio trees. The trees expected life span 100 years plus. They have proven to be very drought tolerant.
The house is supplied with town water and rainwater tanks. Pistachio Trees are supplied with water from a 30m bore with a submersible pump. An automatic irrigation system with buried main line pipes, automatic valves and dripper system.
There is a large Shed ready for storage, work area and packing room.

At the time of writing, the retail value of salted pistachios are 30 to $32 a kilo. Value add the pistachios for the market or even start your own shop or cafe for tourists and visiting buses.
