The Two Mile, Lawrence

Held by the same family for six generations, “The Two Mile” at Lawrence was a foundation property of the Clarence Valley and is being offered to the market for the first time.
Consisting of six titles, the property runs from Pringles Way back across to Mantons Road right at the edge of Lawrence Village.
Subdivision is a future proposition (STCA), but the natural hardwood resource, cattle production and all-round lifestyle aspects of the farm are also terrific assets to the property and have been long enjoyed by the vendors across the generations.
The property is predominantly zoned for Primary Production (RU1) but Little Broadwater is of great significance to the local wildlife and is zoned as an Environmental Conservation (E2) area.
Both zonings have a minimum lot size for subdivision of 40ha (100 acres) to qualify for a building entitlement should you wish to make any boundary adjustments.
Big acreages such as this, especially those just “Two Miles” from established Clarence River villages like Lawrence, just do not exist in today’s market.
