Circa 1880 and still featuring handmade bricks from the original station quarry and timber imported from Scotland, iconic Blink Bonnie Homestead, Forbes will most certainly be sold at auction.
Considered a ‘jewel of the district’, the homestead is located in an area renowned for producing some of the state’s best crops, cattle and lambs.
The property is situated east of the Newell Highway and stretches approximately 977.2 hectares/ approximately 2415 acres, with 80 per cent arable red, black and dark self mulching soil types.
With approximately 200 acres of improved pastures including Lucerne, spineless burr and medics included in the sale, the property has also successfully grown canola, wheat, barley, lupins and chick peas.
Boasting 14 dams, the property is extremely versatile, giving buyers multiple options for future use.
The current owners have meticulously preserved and maintained Blink Bonnie Homestead, retaining many of its ornate original period features as well as complimenting and sustaining the graciousness of its era.
The four bedroom, two storey homestead includes a pool, tennis court and four bedroom workers cottage.
Other improvements are a three stand shearing shed, steel sheep and cattle yards, 12 silos, machinery shed, workshop and mixed hinge joint, barb, steel and timber fencing.
