Sitting comfortably and privately on the banks of the North Arm of the Clarence River, the property at 245 Warregah Island has provided a cherished and rewarding rural and riverside lifestyle for the same family since 1962. The good life it has been.
Approximately 10 years ago the retirement phase saw the home and 1.85 ha of the original farm retained. The land on this section of the Clarence River is recognised as one of the most fertile and productive districts in the valley and the envy of many. It was a natural for this farming family to continue with the love of the land in retirement and develop and enjoy the results of a productive orchard and interest in horticulture. The orchard is extensive and consists of the range of citrus trees, stands of bananas, exotic fruits, like Carambola, Black Sapote, Custard Fruit, Lychee and many others. Established nut trees include Macadamia and Pecans. Near self-sufficiency is a reality on the Island.
The home is high set and positioned to benefit from its east and north aspect overlooking the river as it flows quietly by. A Favourite spot is the front verandah throughout the seasonal changes with the sparkle of the river always catching your eye.
Traditional in construction the 4 bedroom hardwood home is sound, spacious, comfortable and very well maintained. Minor modifications to the design have created a more open plan and has added more natural light throughout the living areas. The installation of a new kitchen with dishwasher is modern and coordinated with excellent cupboard spaces and workbench areas. The ideal spot to add value to the produce from the garden. The high ceilings throughout and especially in the main bedrooms certainly amplifies the feeling of spaciousness. Air conditioners and a wood fire box, will ensure your well- being, year round.
The high set home provides ample space under for cars, boats and storage, it is also a very useful area for entertainment or your selected hobby activity. You are spoilt for shedding with a separate original farm shed and carport as well as the 4 door 20 x 8m metal farm shed on the flood relief mound.
Contentment here on the Island comes very easily, and the connection with the river takes that enjoyment to the next level. Being able to decide to wonder over to the wharf on the river, to sit relax or throw a line, launch the boat with ease, go kayaking, share the experience or take time out, are all very pleasant decisions to have to make.
The Chatsworth Island General Store and the highly regarded primary school are easily accessed by bridge, across the river, as well as the beach side town of Yamba and the service centre of the Lower Clarence, Maclean. Everything is at your fingertips.
