Timbali is a 754 hectare property in picturesque village of Purlewaugh area that is renowned for its reliable rainfall and quality properties. A value-for money entry point into a grazing enterprise or with its abundance of native flora and fauna would also suit somebody looking for a weekend getaway.
The property features approximately 110 hectares of flat to gently sloping cleared arable land which is split into three paddocks, with an additional two smaller paddocks near the house ideal for kidding, lambing or horses. There are four dams, one of which is spring-fed with a large capacity.
The paddocks feature a good mix of native and sub-tropical pastures. One paddock has been sown to Consul Lovegrass many years ago and continues to produce rich summer feed for the livestock who thrive on it. Conditions provide the possibility of sewing some pasture to Lucerne or Oats. Good boundary and internal fencing consisting of barbs, plain and electric.

Alternatively the bush scrub provides endless recreation: hunting (pig, fox, rabbit, etc), motorbike tracks, cycling tracks, horseriding, bushwalking, etc. As well, there is a wonderful range of native flora and fauna to discover, including kangaroos, wallabies, emus, echidnas, goannas and the occasional koala.
