A rare and extraordinary opportunity to secure an established riverfront retreat on one of Australia’s purest waterways.
Nestled alongside the upper reaches of the Clyde River (Bhundoo), widely regarded as the cleanest and most pristine river system in Eastern Australia. Clyde River Retreat offers 98.4 acres (39.82ha) of unspoilt wilderness, complete privacy, and an exceptional income-producing lifestyle.
Surrounded entirely by State Forest and National Park, with nearly 1km of direct river frontage, this remarkable property feels worlds away yet remains just a short drive from the beaches and villages of the NSW South Coast. Alive with native wildlife and immersed in nature, it is a destination of peace, tranquillity, and opportunity.
Whether you’re seeking a turnkey tourism enterprise, a multi-dwelling family estate, or your own private sanctuary to share only with those closest to you, this breathtaking holding delivers unmatched flexibility.
Property Overview
A thriving accommodation business with two free-standing residences plus two income-producing cabins, extensive infrastructure, and development approval for three additional cabins, offering outstanding potential to expand or enhance the current eco-tourism footprint.
This is a ready-made lifestyle escape featuring river access, recreation areas, orchards, vegetable gardens, sustainable off-grid systems, and every improvement you need to operate immediately.

Clyde River Retreat is ideal for:
• A turnkey tourism business ready to operate and grow
• A riverfront lifestyle property offering income on your terms
• A private sanctuary to be enjoyed solely with family and friends
A peaceful wilderness escape, a thriving business, and a legacy property, all in one extraordinary package.
