Step into the stately rural home of your dreams with the immaculate “Southgate” – 116 acres of premium floodplain grazing just five minutes from Grafton.
Featuring a beautifully restored and renovated home, the circa 1925 federation home is the focal point of an established garden.
Tastefully added to with a stunning 54 sqm outdoor verandah space, the home has all the charm of yesteryear but with modern lifestyle twists.
Enjoy the summer breeze off the Clarence River flat and entertain your guests as you look over the post and rail paddocks across your holding to the horizon beyond.
Ceilings are an impressive 13-feet high with original pressed metal features, and the renovated kitchen and large bathroom will appeal to the discerning buyer.
Everywhere you turn there is a mix of old-world charm balanced by modern country style.
The established garden casts beautiful shade across the lawns and easy access to the stables, yards and shed make the farm jobs a pleasure.
The farm offers scope for a diverse income whether you want to carry bullocks, breeders or horses.
There are three main paddocks with a central lane way for ease of mustering. All paddocks are connected to mains water and have cement troughs.
Fencing on the property is in excellent condition, with mains electric fencing around six horse paddocks, three of which have double shelters.
The property will become flood affected in major flood events of the Clarence River, but the paddock layout and design work of our long-time vendors has made this an easier event to handle.
Please do not miss your chance to register your interest in this one of a kind property. Excellent grazing and fattening properties with quality homestead and infrastructure just do not come on the market regularly.

Situated only 2 minutes from the township and the Clarence River, the four bedroom home and 202 acre property boasts valley living at its finest.
This perfect retirement location is only a short drive from Grafton, Maclean and Yamba with the morning commute certainly possible for those not ready to hang their hat up just yet.

Entering the home up lovingly-crafted redwood steps (cut from a fallen tree at the Lawrence Public School) the wide verandahs and breathtaking outlook are seducing.
The entrance flows into an open living space and views of the wetland beyond. A modern kitchen, dining and living room hint at the relaxation and quiet country life that will be enjoyed for years to come.
An enormous main bedroom is set off to the right with a home-office and modern laundry and bathroom combination leading through to the bigger than average double garage.
Follow the hallway to the left and you will discover the beautiful main bathroom and three generous bedrooms all with built in wardrobes.
A smaller room currently used as an office could also be used as a fifth bedroom or nursery.
Storage is a real feature of the residence, with ample linen cupboards down both sides of the hall.
The natural elevation of the property means the home is safe from flooding, but the low driveway will mean a short ride in the tinny when the larger floods occur in the Clarence Valley.
The home has been built with self-sufficiency in mind and boasts a complete stand alone off-grid power system.
Solar panels charge the large battery bank located in a purpose built room behind the garage, with a diesel back-up generator on hand in the garden shed should an extra boost be required.
Water tanks provide all the water to the residence, although there is town water available on the property and it is currently used to fill the stock troughs.
The property is over 80ha and is set on rural and environmental zonings that require 40ha minimum lot size for a potential future subdivision and second building entitlement (S.T.C.A.)
Words alone do not do this property justice. Come and inspect this immaculate country residence and experience for yourself the special brand of peaceful enjoyment that it will provide for many years to come.
