249 North Island Loop Road, Upper Orara NSW 2450

'Little River' farm is a high quality grazing property in the Upper Orara Valley comprising 56.78 acres/ 22.98 ha of fertile river flats and gentle slopes with extensive Orara river frontage.

Located in the hinterland just a 15 minute drive directly west of Coffs Harbour, this desirable country property is a terrific option for the farmer looking to downsize from a larger rural property with the benefits of being close to a thriving regional city by the sea.

'Little River' comprises all required quality infrastructure for farming beef cattle such as excellent fencing and yards plus a windmill which automatically pumps water to the cattle troughs. Divided into 16 paddocks for manageable cell grazing, the property can carry 30 breeders with ease and produces 100 round bales per year. The current owners have managed the property with consideration for creating healthy soil, facilitating the option to convert to organic food production.

A tree lined, sealed driveway leads up to the master-built solid brick residence and 12 metre x 10.5 metre Colorbond machinery shed with 9m x 6m skillions; a double lock-up garage and a sizable attached workshop.

Sited upon a hill, the five bedroom homestead is set within established sub-tropical gardens with magnificent specimen trees. Wide verandahs provide comfortable year round country living with spectacular views of the Great Divide mountain range.

Accentuating the country style are beautiful polished hardwood floors, elegant timber lined ceilings, large combustion wood fire and exposed brick walls in the open plan living, dining and kitchen areas. The wide hallway leads to the study, laundry, main bathroom, three double bedrooms and the master bedroom with ensuite. All bedrooms are spacious and have sliding glass doors to the verandah providing superb ventilation, natural light and lovely views.

Designed for all weather outdoor entertaining, the rustic Australian style cabana with barbeque and kitchen facilities is perfect for the biggest family get-togethers. There's plenty of lawn by the cabana where the kids can enjoy a game of cricket. Adjacent to the shed, out of view, is ample parking for numerous vehicles.

Families will appreciate the location of the local pre-school and Upper Orara Public School just 2.5 kilometres down the road, plus the school bus service for local public and city schools stops right by the front gate. Little River is a beautifully maintained and desirable country lifestyle property in a magnificent location, the perfect place to raise a family and live life to the full.
