Set on approx. 11 gentle hectares, with a permanent creek boundary and sweeping creek flats, as well as level, elevated paddocks, this property is the perfect mini farm. If you're thinking horses, then look no further. The 3 top paddocks are horse fenced and the creek flat is where the owner has educated many a steed. With farms all around and a local track, I'm told, that will take you to Lismore on horseback , you will never be lost for somewhere to ride.
The residence is a massive 2 storey, 6 bedroom, 3 bathroom, double brick dwelling that would make a fabulous large family home or could very easily be divided into 2 separate quarters for a farm stay business or air BnB.
The ground floor houses a large living room with extremely high ceilings that are timber lined with exposed beams. An unusual and ornate woodfire graces the space and heats the home well. The floors are carpeted and glass doors open onto the entrance porch where winter afternoons are sunbathed and delightful. A smaller more intimate space extends to the south of the lounge room and is currently used as a library. Exposed brick walls are wonderful for moderating the temperature through all seasons.
From the living room and through a large brick archway, you enter the dining room and kitchen area. As you would expect for a 6 bedroom home, the kitchen is spacious and capable of catering for the masses. It has a 6 burner gas stove and oven, plenty of cupboard and bench space and once again high ceilings with exposed beams. The dining area is large and opens out to a tiled patio and fernery with access to the garage for undercover entrance to the home from your car. A reverse cycle air-conditioner is installed in the dining room but is rarely needed.
A large laundry/mud room is accessed from the patio or via the kitchen along with a bathroom and separate toilet.
Also on the ground floor, at the Northern end of the home, are 3 large bedrooms with built-in robes. Each have large windows, carpeted floors and ceiling fans. A large family bathroom services these rooms with a bath, shower and separate toilet.
Upstairs are 3 more bedrooms with verandahs on the Eastern and Western sides of the building. The master bedroom has been newly renovated with ensuite bathroom and walk-in dressing room. Originally 2 rooms, this room is wonderfully spacious with windows to the North and sliding doors right along the Eastern wall that open it up completely to the private verandah.
The 2 bedrooms on the western side are comfortably large. One has a built in wardrobe and glass sliding doors to the verandah, the other has windows to the North and West capturing plenty of light.
The upstairs wing lends itself to creating separate accommodation if desired.
A fabulous feature is a 15m x 10m newly built shed. Connected to mains power, this has been the workshop for the owners successful welding business and would also make a brilliant machinery shed. A 5m x 7.5m carport extends from this.
Another shed has 5 bays and is perfect for storing hay and farm equipment. 3 bays are enclosed. More recently it has been used as an art space and tool shed.
The land is superb and offers enormous opportunity for complete self-sufficiency. It is the perfect size for manageability and productivity. You enter the property on the ridge line and the top paddocks roll gently down to the house yard. From here a steeper track takes you down to the creek flats where Back Creek meanders along the boundary offering cool shade and numerous swimming holes to relieve the summer heat. The top paddocks, of which there are 3, have been the home of horses. Fenced with horse friendly wire and with a dam for water the land is suitable for round yards and stables. The remaining land has been agisted for cattle which can continue if desired. Or run your own animals to help manage the land and produce additional income.
The potential uses for this property are immeasurable. From elevated sunny pastures to lower creek flats via forested tracks, there's a bit of everything with this one, all packaged into a manageable parcel of paradise.
