129.2 Hectares (Approx. 320 Acres) – Federation Home with Significant Renovation Required (Sold As Is)

This property offers space, privacy and enormous potential — however, it is important to understand that it is in a run-down condition and will require substantial work to restore.

The Federation-style Lightfield home retains appealing original features including timber windows and trims, and enjoys a northern aspect. Inside, the layout includes a lounge room, dining room and a large country-style kitchen with gas cooktops and dishwasher. Moving down the hallway, you’ll find three double-sized bedrooms with built-ins. The main bedroom features a walk-through robe, ensuite, and French doors opening to the wraparound verandah.

The home does need considerable attention, with the verandahs in particular deteriorated and requiring repair or replacement. Cosmetic updates, carpentry work and general maintenance will be expected throughout but it appears the main structure of the house is sound. A recent pest and building inspection report is available to view, providing buyers with a clear understanding of the work required. The property is being sold as is.

Services include electricity, two 20,000 liter water tanks, an aerated septic system, and a double garage beside the home. A separate two-bedroom container-style granny flat is also on site, and makes for separate accommodation..

Approximately 80 acres are cleared and pasture improved, making it suitable for grazing, with the balance being natural timbered country. A creek with permanent waterholes runs through the block, and the rear boundary provides direct access to the Yarratt Forest. The property is private and offers excellent rural and escarpment views.

Infrastructure on the property is in varying condition includes remnants of stockyards with a good cattle crush and calf cradle. Front boundary fencing appears generally sound but will need straining and ongoing maintenance around the property.

Located approximately 25 to 30 minutes drive from Taree CBD and local beaches this is a genuine project property ideal for buyers willing to roll up their sleeves. The home is liveable while renovations are undertaken, offering the opportunity to gradually bring the property back to its former charm.

If you’re handy on the tools and looking for a large rural parcel with character and scope, this property represents a rare opportunity to restore and revitalise.
