This scenic Byron Bay Hinterland farm situated between Rosebank and Dunoon has 75 clean, fertile acres of rich basalt soil for farming or operating a farm stay tourism business. With spectacular views of the Nightcap Ranges and easy access to Minyon Falls, Rocky Creek Dam and Byron Bay’s surf beaches, it’s an ideal place to live or run a hospitality business.
The elegant farm house has four spacious bedrooms, a bath with tub and shower plus two toilets, a modern kitchen, comfortable lounge and plenty of outdoor entertaining areas. The inground swimming pool is surrounded by beautifully landscaped gardens. You’ll enjoy a sustainable lifestyle with the cosy home heated by a wood fireplace, solar hot water and solar PV panels for electricity. Water tanks (7,000 and 5,000 gallon tanks for the house and a 1,000 gallon tank at the shed) are filled from an onsite creek with a Southern Cross Diesel pump.
There’s even a raised-bed vegetable garden at hand and chook pen with shade house for the chickens nearby. The established fruit orchards will keep you supplied with apples, oranges, grapefruit, lemons, mandarin, pecan, guava, star fruit, bananas, mulberry, custard apple and persimmon. This gorgeous property fronts onto Boomerang Creek and in addition to the internal creek there are springs, a waterfall and dam. Rainforest regeneration efforts have created a koala habitat.
The income-producing farm consists of 1,700 macadamia trees over 20 acres with annual production averages of 20 to 30 tonnes with plenty of space to plant more. There’s a large machinery shed and de-husking plant for processing the macadamias. The cattle yard and 50 acres of improved paddocks provide pasture for 30 head of breeder cows. And what farm would be complete without a couple of horses?
This idyllic hinterland farm is located five minutes from Rosebank and Dunoon villages with the regional centre of Lismore just 20 minutes drive. Byron Bay’s pristine beaches are a 40 minute scenic drive through the picturesque village of Bangalow.
