HIGHLY productive acres and absolute Clarence River frontage underpin this tremendous farming/lifestyle opportunity.
Located just 20 minutes from Grafton, this section of Woodford Island is locally known as some of the most fertile soil in the Clarence Valley.
Although currently used for sugar cane crops, with a decent annual return, this has previously been a dairy farm and the benefits of that activity can be seen in the soil to this day. Of course, the property would also be ideal for many other crops or even cattle.
The property boasts 220 metres of river frontage where the Coldstream River meets the South Arm of the Clarence River.
With superb “beach” access to the river, boating enthusiasts would struggle to find better. Part of the riverfront portion of the property is known as Cosmo Island because prior to the 1950s, it was separated from Woodford Island by a small creek which has since silted up. Indeed it is this silt that is the secret to the productive nature of the entire area.
The historic homestead was originally built 105 years ago has undergone a recent renovation making it a functional and welcoming family home. Work continues on the home but the renovation is near complete.
As well as the home, the old dairy has been converted to provide extra accommodation for a teenage retreat or guests to stay. Shedding is also taken care of with a huge 12×18.5m industrial-sized shed complete with an office and 4m high doors. Out to one side of the shed is further machinery cover and four horse stables.
Additional car parking is provided next to the home along with three enclosed and lined rooms for office space or guest accommodation. The property boasts almost 6kw of return to grid solar panels.
The property is split over both sides of South Arm School Road. Current cane entitlements cover approximately 35 acres of the property. Cane returns vary from year to year the past few years have seen payments vary from $18,000-$38,000. The property has reportedly produced 1500 tons of sugar cane this calendar year.
With all this on offer, there is sure to be some strong interest for those looking to make a living off the farm (including the tax benefits that go with a registered farm) and even those who want a break from a suburban lifestyle to raise some horses and grow their own food. Make sure you don’t miss out – contact Mel Dayes or Terry Deefholts to arrange an inspection.
