This very special rural holding boasts stunning mountain views and a tastefully refurbished classic Australiana Homestead nestled on the ridge overlooking lush creek flats. Beauty is all around, whether you are a serious farmer or looking for that special place to accommodate a home based business. This property is ideal as a grazing or stud enterprise, but suitable for a variety of rural pursuits. There are too many features within this 129Ha to list. With a good balance of country, including level Kikuyu flats, warm gullies, and undulating arable hills rising to a small area of steeper country heavily timbered with millable species. Water is a feature with a creek, 2 huge spring fed dams, 7 smaller ones and a licensed 15 meg bore. The boundary fencing is very new and divided into several paddocks, the remainder is in good condition with hardwood cattle yards and a loading ramp very accessible for the transport of stock. Soils range from chocolate basalt, alluvial loams to podsols with some lighter shale ridges. Pastures have not been improved beyond Kikuyu flats with some Seterria and native grasses predominant of the hills. Improvements include the elegant 3 bedroom homestead with most of the original construction and character retained. Several spacious living areas flow to the wrap around covered verandahs, with a glorious outlook everywhere. The modern well appointed kitchen and bathroom areas are functional yet styled in keeping with the period. Outside there is a large formal, paved shady courtyard where you can almost see the ghosts of yesteryear gathered for afternoon tea and cucumber sandwiches. Various outbuildings also include a 15 x 9m workshop complete with cool room, 4 bay open shed and 20m x 6m igloo with fertigation system in place and screened above ground vege gardens. The stunning mountain valley views, just 6kms to the village of Bowraville and 25mins to the coast, 1 hour to the airport along with the character and style of the homestead offers the perfect backdrop for a specialty private function venue. For existing farmers scaling up or down, there is huge potential to dress up the paddocks to a more intense level of production both horticultural or with livestock. Inspections strictly by prior appointment only, but do allow plenty of time to fully appreciate the classical beauty of this property.
