Better still it is 10 minutes from South West Rocks in the north or Hat Head in the South all of which are frequented by local tourist out of Port Macquarie on weekend jaunts seeking the weekend getaway or Sunday drive.

A timber weatherboard home that was built to stand the test of time (and has since colonial days) it displays outstanding craftsmanship long lost from modern buildings including soaring ceilings, ornate cornices, ceiling roses, leadlight windows native timber floors and distinctively generous stud height and room proportions.

With five bedrooms upstairs, including walk in robe, ensuites and renovated bathrooms a study, extra bedroom or parents retreat down stairs. If extra income was a consideration, the proportion of the living available provides real potential to air b&b and take advantage of the tourist traffic that passes up and down the river .

Notwithstanding these benefits the overwhelming presence of this river estate is the mighty MacLeay River. It creates its own tranquility and drama. It provides so much life and meaning to the location.

It is truly beautiful.
