552 Bylong Valley Way, Ilford, NSW, 2850, Australia

Looking for a tree change with rolling hills, stunning escarpments and a cosy Australian Colonial farmhouse? Then "Waterdale Homestead" is the place you've been dreaming of.

Since its over-hall, it is truly amazing with its new open plan kitchen with a separate formal dining room if desired. New 900mm chefs ovens, stone benchtops, new pantry, new bathroom, hot water system, new shaded BBQ area, fly screen windows and doors, air conditioning, new carpet and painted inside and out. It has been empathetically restored to make it modern and functional while retaining its beautiful Colonial charm. Retaining the original copper just in case you want to ask the kids to boil the washing (you can reveal the washing machine later).

Extra space to relax on the wrap around veranda as you follow the sun or happily sit in the shade with your cup of tea or stronger, listening to the sounds of the bush with King Parrots, Eastern Rosella's and Gala's.

With its beautiful rock escarpments it was the ideal location for "Spider and the Rose" an Australian feature film in 1994 staring Ruth Cracknell.

It offers 84.12 (over 200 acres) of freehold land ranging from alluvial flats with permanent spring water from rocky waterhole creek perfect for running stock. It offers timbered hills and rocky outcrops creating the ideal setting for adventure and tranquility.

4 x 22 000 litre tanks provide all necessary water year-round along with its original inground brick water tank is featured. 8km of recently updated fencing and gates with new cement water troughs for isolated paddocks. Landscape has been executed to perfection and includes a dressage arena for the horse enthusiast, stables, yards with a loading ramp, an extended undercover machinery shed and chook pens to ensure the farm is setup for immediate use to provide all life's wants.

Situated on the Bylong Valley Way only 5km off the Castlereagh highway, the location of this property makes it a very ideal rural weekend getaway 2.5 hours from Western Sydney or permanent farm only a short drive to major town centres with its Farmer Markets and renowned wineries, schools and shops
