This property represents a unique lifestyle opportunity, with *15.68 ha (38.74 acres) close to town with town water available. Troughs are to 3 paddocks and a dam in the 4th. The house has 4 bedrooms, 3 with built-ins and fans, and carpet and wooden floors throughout.

With the fabulous media room outside this is a great space for entertaining with family and friends. There is a building with granny flat potential, chicken yards, sheds, steel cattle yards and 3 tanks, so water is no issue. This is suitable for running horses, cattle, and cropping and a property that rarely comes on the market.

How long have you lived in Forbes and what do you like about living here? I have lived in Forbes my whole life. I like the fact that I can walk around town and say hello and have a friendly conversation with everyone.

Where do you work and what do you enjoy about your work? I own and operate Cahill’s Footwear and have done so for the past 33 years along with my father Harry. I am very lucky to have great staff and enjoy being able to serve, meet and greet many friendly people each day.

What do you do to unwind after work or on weekends? I enjoy spending time with my partner Rachel and our children and grandchildren. Also, I’m told I am the worst golfer in Forbes but that is where you will find me every Saturday after work with my mates and a few beers.

What are you really good at? Tying up shoelaces.

If you could have a super power, what would it be? The power to heal.

What is your pet hate? Watching St George Dragons lose. Thankfully, that doesn’t happen often.

Tell us about your best holiday ever. Taking a cruise in the beautiful sunshine up to Port Douglas, white water rafting at Cairns and daring to take a dip in croc waters. Also, love the Gold Coast and theme parks with the kids.

A Fantastic Find In Eugowra

by

Two fantastic blocks of land, side by side and known as 61 Oberon Street, Eugowra are presented for sale.

This beautifully presented three bedroom home, has nothing to spend on it. The three bedrooms, equipped with built-ins and together with privacy blinds, make for very comfortable rooms.

The kitchen has views over the back yard and includes a gas cooktop, electric wall oven and dishwasher. The combined living and dining room have privacy blinds.

There are two bathrooms, a separate toilet off the laundry and a reverse cycle ducted aircon throughout. All windows have insect screens and the doors have security screens as well.

With 1.5 solar connected to the grid and instant gas hot water, there are savings to be made here.

Overlooking the back garden is a fully lined patio with blinds. So sit back and enjoy the peaceful surroundings in the lovely village of Eugowra.

Remember that you can subdivide the second block, so there is a possible instant income here as well.

Come and have a look at the home when it is open for inspection on Saturday, 7th July at 10:00am or call Cheryl Newsom from Ian Simpson & Co. now for an inspection on 0411 211 065.

Question of the week -How many years have you been to the Forbes Eisteddfod and why do you like supporting it?

by

Nikki Patten: We’ve been coming for about 10 years, watching nieces, nephews and children perform. It’s a fantastic local event held right here in Forbes and has a high standard.

 

Gail Smith: I’ve been involved with this eisteddfod for probably 15 years. I’ve supported it because I like avenues for children to be able to get up and perform and there aren’t many opportunities for them to do that. There are also lifelong friendships formed.

 

Megan Hodge: This is our first time to the Forbes Eisteddfod. We were very excited to be invited and have taken the opportunity to participate.

How long have you lived in Forbes and what do you like about living here? I was born in Forbes but spent many years travelling Australia for music. As well as being my home town, Forbes is a pretty place with its lagoon and the Lachlan River. It’s not crowded but still has most of my needs.

Where do you work and what do you enjoy about your work? I’ve worked most of my life as a musician, as well as bush work and have been lucky to love what I do.

What do you do to unwind after work or on weekends? I enjoy fishing as a way to relax and unwind. I also enjoy spending time with family and friends and travelling to different places.

What are you really good at? I was never very good at school so I had to find something else I could do. It turned out to be music and bush work!

If you could have a super power, what would it be? If I could have a super power, I’d like to live for a thousand years with perfect health. One lifetime’s not enough.

What is your pet hate? My pet hate is mornings… I’ve never been a morning person. don’t like the freezing cold and also not being my own boss.
