Beautiful, peaceful family home superbly located on the banks of the Richmond River, directly opposite Pimlico Island, only 8 minutes south of Ballina, 25 minutes from Lismore, 40 minutes from Byron Bay. A magnificent waterfront situation, private, yet close to all the best wonderful north coast living has to offer.
The property is directly opposite one of the best fishing hotspots on the river, you can launch your boat, kayak, sailboat from right in front of the property. This well designed 3 bedroom home is in rendered brick with tile roof, all in excellent condition. A large hardwood timber deck & balcony overlook the river, perfect for relaxing, enjoying the view and of course, BBQs. Underneath the deck there is sheltered parking for another two vehicles as well as a large double garage and workshop.
There is also a balcony at the rear of the house overlooking the garden and the surrounding escarpment of the Blackall Ranges.
The river views are visible from all rooms, on the upper level of the house, with large windows providing lots of light and panoramic views of the surrounding environment.
The hose is situated on 1031 squ. metres, there are two 22,000 litre tanks providing adequate rainwater as well as a supplementary bore, used for gardening purposes.
Pimlico is a small, friendly, rural community, with soya bean and sugar cane farms surrounding.
With the closest beach, Patches Beach, approx. 10 minutes away, the ocean can be heard at night. We are close enough to the ocean entrance, to have dolphins regularly chasing fish in front of the house. We are also fortunate to have a pair of sea eagles, a pair of whistling kites and a pair of Ospreys nesting on the island opposite the property.
This house has been owned and cared for by a professional photographer and his artist wife and their family for the past 13 years. The large downstairs bedroom area is currently used as an office and reception area for the owners photographic business.
This area is perfectly set up for a home business, or could be easily converted back to separate granny flat or accommodation/bedroom.
The much loved garden has a large, 5m x 5m, garden shed, well established trees, fruit trees, organic garden beds, a large amount of sub tropical plants, gingers, frangipanis, Golden Cane and Bangalow Palms. There is also a separate enclosed walled courtyard, 7m x 5m, surrounded by Alexander Palms on the eastern side of the house.
