(Property Phone Code is: 3009)
The secluded setting of this approximately 25-acre property is magical, surrounded by tall trees with not a neighbour in sight and overlooking a huge bass-filled and lily-lined dam. Gently cascading over three levels, the spacious four bedroom home is constructed from rustic recycled bricks that were formerly incorporated into a historic local municipal building. With slate flooring in the expansive kitchen, raked ceilings with exposed timber beams throughout the living areas and floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the dam, this is a character-filled home that oozes with charm. Cooled by ceiling fans throughout and warmed by both its passive solar architecture and a magnificent double-sided combustion fireplace that opens into both dining and living areas, year-round comfort in this home is assured.

Entertainers will be delighted to discover the double oven and dishwasher in the huge kitchen as well as multiple diverse areas in which to host a dinner party. Indoors, the vast kitchen easily houses a full-size dining table while outdoor dining is available on the expansive, north-facing, hardwood deck overlooking the dam. Down a couple of steps is a second covered deck that provides an ideal space to lounge while watching the fish jump and the local wildlife go about its business, or perhaps to do some yoga or just bask in the sun with a good book. There is no excuse here for not relaxing as the outlook is so completely private and tranquil and the only sounds to be heard are natural ones – frogs, crickets, birds and the splashing of turtles and fish. This is a nature-lover’s paradise.

The established gardens and grounds are low maintenance with plenty of room for your own chickens and veggie patch should you be aiming for some self-sufficiency. Gorgeous flowering shade trees and palms surround the house while further afield the property reverts to natural bushland. Water is in ample supply from numerous water tanks ( 2 x 22,000L and 1 x 1,000L) that supply the house while the gardens are taken care of by a high quality plumbing system that pumps water directly from the dam. Ample storage sheds including an electronic double garage, wood shed and garden shed. Additional undercover parking for four vehicles is available at the main entrance of the dwelling.

The private, natural outlook from every room of this tremendous home fosters the belief that you are far away from anywhere, yet the amenity-rich rural centre of Kempsey is only 12 minutes from the door. Magnificent beaches and seaside villages are within easy reach at Crescent Head, Hat Head and South West Rocks, and Port Macquarie with its multitude of restaurants, shopping centres, tourist facilities and regional airport is only 40 minutes away. Add to this the fast NBN service already connected to the property and you begin to understand that it really is possible to have the best of both worlds, absolute seclusion while still not being too far away from it all.

Arrange a time for an inspection today as the current boom in the rural property market makes tomorrow too late. This feature-laden and entirely unique piece of real estate is likely to entrance the first discerning buyer to view it.
