Hielaman Island is a very unique part of the Clarence River and a rare piece of real estate not often seen on the open market. The Island is one of around 100 Islands between Grafton and Yamba and is a good example of a medium sized Island allowing privacy, good access via the main land and a location only 35 – 40 minutes from the coast of Yamba.
Over the years the Island has be used for many agricultural pursuits, from cane cultivation to fresh market vegetables which is partly its current use. On the south western end on the property, the current owner has maintained a rainforest/native garden area to enforce its diversity away from farming, this allows wildlife and nature to co exist which is the owners intentions.
The access to the property is very well established. Included in the sale are 3 different modes of transport ranging from a small tinny row boat, a medium size barge and a large aluminum barge with stainless steel pulley system which has the ability to transport large machinery such as tractors and cars.
Hielaman Island has an existing dwelling on it at present. Whilst the home has been in use many years ago, currently its use would only accommodate storage and general use. There would need to be rejuvenation on a large scale to bring this home back to its original condition. On the Southern side of the Island, a flood free mound has been created to allow a home to be built. This location would be the ideal spot on the property as it offers 360 degree views, both up and down the Clarence River. Town Water and power are both available and are ready to be connected.
If the Island lifestyle is appealing then maybe it’s time to come and view a rare piece of the Clarence River, you might be surprised with what’s on offer!
