This property offers either an amazing place to retire or just the perfect place to raise the kids. 100 acres and pristine water are a great reason to call this property your new home away from the hustle and bustle.

This rural delight offers you and your family the peace and quiet of a rural property to enjoy well into the future with the opportunity of raising some cattle, growing veggies for you and your family or just relaxing in the swimming pool or pristine river.

This renovated home is a magnificent example of a well restored 110 year old country farmhouse. In fact the property has only ever had three owners it is so special. The property is of high local historical significance and is a farmhouse/residence dating back to pre WW1.

The house demonstrates the history and development of the Coffs Coast region from the first few years of permanent settlement. It displays design characteristics typical of its period and belongs to an important group of pioneer buildings that featured local hardwoods and late nineteenth century building skills and craftsmanship.

The property has a significant feature with 500 metres of pristine river frontage, fenced with rainforest remnants and the river care work is already done. You can grow anything on these productive river flats that are approx. 7 acres.

Another wing was added to this wonderful old property in keeping with its grandeur. There are wide under roof timber verandahs on 2 sides that maintain it's original facade and is well positioned at the end of the impressive driveway entry led through the solid stone wall and wrought iron gates.

The large established gardens, with many rare native rainforest trees and shrubs as well as 100 year old hoop pines, are well designed and now require little maintenance.

This character filled home with 12 foot ceilings has two fireplaces and polished floor boards throughout.

The home consists of four bedrooms with built-ins and a walk in robe to the main and ensuite. There is a separate study for the work at home executive or for your children to complete their homework.

The large main bathroom with a claw foot bath is perfect for relaxing and older style pedestal basin is a treat.
The modern well equipped kitchen has a dishwasher and stainless steel bench tops and opens out to the dining and living areas so no one is out of touch. There is plenty of cupboard space and a wide bench top provides a great entertainment centre. It is certainly the area of the home that you will spend countless hours with friends and family.

The area around the swimming pool has lovely views over the rear of the property to the hills beyond and many secret garden areas to enjoy. It is also frost free and very sheltered behind the house, having amazing views to the east overlooking the hills.

In summary, what makes this so special are the features including high ceilings and timber floors throughout, 2 combustion wood heaters in both living rooms, covered verandahs at the front and side and a beautiful in ground pool overlooking the countryside.

This property is only a 15 minute scenic drive in the beautiful Orara hinterland just outside Coffs Harbour.

You will appreciate the short drive to Coffs Harbour with beautiful beaches, great schools and university. Also a Health Campus, Baringa Private Hospital and not forgetting the jet airport for a quick flight to Sydney or beyond.
