Once a vineyard and winery, this property is now a private airfield and contains one little cubby house for guests to relax, unwind and soak up nature. This 150-acre property encompasses the northern face of Mount Archer and flatlands to the north. It hosts an abundance of native wildlife along with beautiful creeks and waterfalls after rain. You can fly or drive into the Cubby House. It is tucked away at the foot of the hills with views of the valley to the north with no man-made structures in sight. It is on the cabin on the property and the main residence is a few minute drive away. You feel like you're in your own world. If the smell of the freshly cut runway grass gets you excited, give the team from sticknrudder.com a call to check out this beautiful area from above. They'll taxi a plane right up to your front door and if you wish they'll let you take control under the guidance of one of their instructors!
