Wellington Forrest
Wellington Forrest SOLD
SECLUSION WATER & NATURAL BEAUTY
38 Ha (approx)
What to appreciate
Secluded and private with its own winter creek flowing from the forest through part of the property, several dams, waterholes and soaks, with quality soils and a range of surrounding vegetation complexes.
Connected to the growing Geographe winery region, it is close to Wellington Dam and the towns of Dardanup, Donnybrook and Collie, yet private enough to see the night sky without lights from towns or streets interfering with the view.
The property is close to the water sources for the Ferguson, Preston, and Collie rivers. It connects via wildlife corridors to forest extending for about 9,000 hectares with cleared areas yet forest cover for a range of wildlife becoming uncommon in more domesticated landscapes.
While part of the property is divided into paddocks there are two areas of forest retained and the creekline is vegetated with endemic plants along with some introduced trees. Pools of permanent water remain along the creek through summer months and some of the surrounding forest has been reserved from harvesting, in particular some grand Zanthorrheas to the south west boundary and along the creek line.
The property lends itself to ecotourism and the nurture of endemic wildlife species.
