Launch into the farm life with this quality grazing property between Ulmarra and Tucabia.
Set on almost 83 acres of alluvial floodplain soils, the property is well developed with machinery shed and a flood free mound.
Ideally suited to grazing cattle, the vendors estimate a carrying capacity of 35 breeders; meaning a handy income while you reap the benefits of the rural lifestyle.
Just 7 minutes from both Ulmarra and Tucabia villages and less than 20 mins to Grafton, the location will suit families of all types.
The home has been raised, renovated and extended in its time, and still boasts desirable original features. Large rooms, hardwood floors, high ceilings and the views from the verandah’s are all highlights.
A set of internal stairs and a modern steel ramp create an ease of access not often found in the typical floodplain residence.
The vendors already have an arrangement in place to have a new iron roof and guttering work done, but recent weather has curtailed that plan so far. The sale price includes this work being completed unless otherwise negotiated with the purchaser.
The format is currently two-bedrooms, but there is an easy conversion to accomodate three bedrooms should you require.
Town water is connected to both the house and cattle troughs, and a set of steel cattle yards will make drafting the calves off very manageable.
The paddocks are a mix of paspalum, kikuyu, couch and bahia pastures, and there has been a long history of growing oats and rye crops in the winter months.
Please review the photos and video and then call to make your interest known. Properties in this price range have become exceedingly scarce, so please do not hesitate to arrange your private inspection.

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.
Call our office to make your interest known early.

Set in an elevated position overlooking the wetlands of Little Broadwater and Lawrence Golf Club, 72 Harrisons Lane rivals the best lifestyle properties in Lawrence.
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.

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.

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.

A host of new families have recently moved into the area and the welcome mat will be rolled out at the Braunstone Social and Tennis Club for the new purchasers too!

The large underground concrete water tank and two poly tanks mean there is ample fresh rainwater for use in the house.
The shedding is excellent. A lock-up colourbond double garage with two roller doors, a workshop with sliding doors and a gyprock-lined extra room, and a farm and hay shed set near the timber cattle yards. There’s a shed for every purpose!
