90ha with existing charming old weatherboard farmhouse, with frontage to the pristine Allyn River and rising through lush pasture improved and fertile paddocks up to rainforest and timbered hills with breathtaking views to Mt Barrington in the nearby Barrington Tops National Park.
This property is simply stunning and provides a unique and beautiful getaway lifestyle environment. Coupled with the Organic status on the property and the adventure of living in such a pristine and beautiful environment, this property is truly superb! The Organic status is transferable to the new owners providing the current owner is the Mentor.
The organic status results in a property without harmful sprays or chemicals, and with the practice of slashing and mulching the paddocks with a tractor after stock movement in cell grazing practises, resulting in deep humus levels and heavy pasture growth. The soils are deep, fertile basalt soils.
Having lived here for many years, raising their children here, renovating the farmhouse and benefiting from living daily life in paradise, the current owners are very keen to pass on their knowledge to the new owner if requested.
The farmhouse: features loads of country charm and character with high ceilings, large rooms, patterned ceiling to hallway, polished timber floors, 4 large bedrooms, French doors onto verandas, lounge with Federation fretwork detail, Dining room, media room, 2 bathrooms, farmhouse style kitchen retaining the old fuel stove but also having a stainless steel oven and modern kitchen facilities, laundry, wide verandas and entertainment deck.

Recently rare trees hundreds of years old were discovered deep in the rainforest by a visiting Flora and fauna expert.
The Allyn Riverfront is magical and pristine, and provides a focus for living on the farm, both as a beautiful and exhilarating place to relax and as a secure water source for the farm. The Allyn River is spring fed from the Barrington Tops high country, and this property being located close to the source of the river, it is clean, crystal clear and free flowing.
In the past the property was a deer farm, and prior to that a productive dairy farm. The current owners have run Organic Beef, with the entire property Australian Certified Organic, the owner states easily carrying approximately 35 cows.
Of course the cattle can be sold at the normal sale yards, with the owners knowing they have produced the best beef possible, without targeting the specialised organic market.
However, the opportunity is there to sell organic hay, and further develop the organic marketing of the beef if desired.
