Launch yourself into self-sufficiency with this great starter package in a prime food growing area.
Two dams, a couple of sheds to keep the rain off your equipment and a caravan enclosed by a corrugated iron shed are all set up and ready to give you a head-start on your building dreams.
A 3 megalitre water licence goes with the 24.7 acre property and an underground spring feeds the bottom dam.
Formerly a persimmon orchard, the land at the front of the block has been returned to pasture, but is already cleared and is ready to be planted down once again to the crop of your choice.
Neighbouring properties are successfully growing blueberries, garlic and tumeric crops, with an abundance of options for your own vegie garden.
A mandarin tree, lemonade, lime and grapefruit are already growing, with chooks providing the eggs and few steers to kick in a bit extra from the saleyards.
A current building entitlement exists on the block but a development application for the dwelling must be submitted to Clarence Valley Council by 23 December 2021 or the building entitlement will be permanently extinguished.
Moving to the back of the block there are numerous possible private home sites amongst the Tallowwoods, Ironbark, Bloodwoods and Bluegums.
The Tallowwoods on the block are a highlight and would suit anyone wanting to mill their own timber and construct their home from premium North Coast hardwoods.
Don’t miss your chance to kick the shackles of town life and start building your own self-sufficient patch.

“Redbank” Nymboida
Lifestyle meets production on this beautiful cell-grazing property situated on the pristine Nymboida River in Northern NSW.
Boasting 1470 acres of naturally managed and improved river frontage, the property rises to a timbered ridge with the homestead set safely above flood levels and overlooking Nymboida village itself.
The current owners estimate the property can carry 200 breeders and with further pasture improvement the country certainly has the potential to boost that head count.
Divided into 45 paddocks, all watered by either plumbed troughs or permanent dams, the natural management practices employed thus far have yielded strong cattle production figures and improved the river frontage.
The Nymboida itself is undoubtedly the highlight of the property.
Calm pools funnel into narrower rapids, and the old hydro-electric station weir is also located on the property. It really offers something for all forms of lifestyle pursuits.
Platypus can be seen swimming in the crystal pools and the occasional explosion of the protected Eastern Cod feeding on the surface is something that can be experienced right along the length of the 6km frontage. Fishing, canoeing, kayaking and swimming are all favourite summer pursuits and the tourism potential of the block remains as yet untapped.
Brilliant cabin or home sites are dotted throughout the length of the frontage and the property would lend itself beautifully to being built into a thriving farm-stay operation that would further enhance returns and diversify the farm income for any purchaser that way inclined.
“Redbank” consists of 13 portions and totals 595.29 hectares. It is set at the end of Boundary Creek Road and directly opposite Nymboida village and the Nymboida Coaching Station.
The timbered ridge that rises away from the river-bends is covered with prime examples of many of the North Coast’s best timber species.
Huge Tallowoods, Spotted Gums, White Mahogany, Grey Gum and Brush Box are all present and have been only selectively harvested in keeping with the current vendors’ desire to create a prime example of natural resources balanced with profitable farm land.
Northern Rivers Landcare recognised the vendors with the Sustainable Farming Award in 2013 for their management practices on the property and the contribution their restoration work has made to the health of the waterway.
The homestead is a character-filled country home that offers comfortable farm living and brilliant glimpses of the river below.
Creative mosaics on the verandah and in the guest bathroom hint at the brilliant native flora and fauna to be found living on the property or in the river.
A huge solar panel system totalling 8kwh and feeding back to the grid ensures the home more than covers its energy footprint.
Currently set out as a two-bedroom layout with two-bed sleepout, there are other configurations which would allow a larger family to move straight in and feel comfortable.
Improvements include a great set of cattle yards with covered crush and vet areas, a large lock-up shed and the aforementioned separate sleep-out that the owners have a hard time kicking the guests out of.
If you have ever dreamt of running a working property alongside a high potential farm stay operation, then this property is one to get excited about.
Call our office today to book your private viewing of this spectacular piece of Australia.
3514 Orara Way, Kremnos
Invest in some premium Orara riverfront with this immaculate 174 alluvial acres at Kremnos.
Situated ideally between Coffs Harbour and Grafton, the property has lifestyle benefits to match its productive pastures.
Excellent Bass fishing, kayaking and swimming can be enjoyed along the 4.5km Orara River frontage which consists of a mix of large pools and running flats.
The three bedroom brick and tile home is a comfortable residence with a layout easily converted to up to five bedrooms if required by a larger family.
Dual occupancy on the title also allows a second dwelling to be constructed (STCA) on the property for anyone looking for multi-generational living or a rental income.
The improved pastures comfortably carry 60 breeders, and a 60ML irrigation license would allow that number to be boosted substantially should the buyer wish to farm the block more intensively by planting forage crops or cutting silage.
Horticultural ambitions can also be pursued and the area is well known as a terrific food bowl for garlic, ginger, tumeric, blueberries and citrus.
A gravity fed trough system is already in place to allow use of riparian rights for stock and garden watering, and a number of dams spaced throughout the property offer water security for graziers.
The machinery shed caters for all the farm equipment with a lock-up enclosed bay to store chemicals and tools and the double garage and carport on the house offer secure vehicle storage.
Situated only a 25 minute drive from Grafton and only 35 mins to Coffs Harbour, the property would also suit those still needing to turn up for their 9 to 5 job.

“Clouds Creek” & “Old Farm” Nymboida
Claim a slice of Nymboida River heaven with this 2800 acre grazing and hardwood asset at the foot of the Great Dividing Range.
Blessed by high rainfall, quality soils and scenery to rival the best in the district, this property is a blank canvas for anyone with visions of creating their own thriving farm stay business alongside a commercial beef and timber enterprise.
The approximately 740 acres of cleared grazing area supports 200 breeders with replacements, and the current carrying capacity is a conservative 350 grown cattle.
Improved pastures offer a mix of Kikuyu, Rhodes Grass, Clovers, Paspalum and Setaria, with native species like Kangaroo Grass reaching up into the timbered ridges.
The vendor has been tireless in his pasture work and weed eradication, and a full fertiliser history is also apparent.
The hill country provides not only a beautiful backdrop to the flats, but also a bountiful supply of winter feed for the herd.
Hardwood species such as Tallowwood, Ironbark and Spotted Gum reach skyward through the back country, and with no commercial logging on the blocks for more than 20 years the depth of the timber resource is impressive.
The Nymboida River itself is undoubtedly the highlight of the property.
Calm pools and long straights funnel into pebble bottomed rapids ideal for kayaking and canoeing. It really offers something for all forms of lifestyle pursuits.
Platypus can be seen swimming in the crystal pools and the occasional explosion of the protected Eastern Cod feeding on the surface is something that can be experienced right along the length of the 7.5km long frontage. Fishing, boating and swimming are all favourite summer pursuits and the tourism potential of the block remains as yet untapped.
Breathtaking home and campsites are dotted throughout the length of the frontage and the property would lend itself beautifully to being built into a farm-stay operation that would further enhance returns and diversify the farm income for any purchaser that way inclined.
The balance of premium grazing country with wild natural beauty on this property must be seen to be believed. Please watch the video to get a good overview of what this package has to offer, and then call Pat to arrange your inspection today.
Private bush retreat
Boasting 276 acres of pure Orara River frontage and a mature eucalypt forest, this block is sure to appeal to anyone keen to harness the amazing timber resource or enjoy bush privacy.
Improvements include an open machinery shed and lockable garage, with a stand-alone carport to keep the rain off your tractor or other equipment.
There is currently no building entitlement on the block to construct a permanent residence, but a closed in end of the shed gives cosy protection from the elements if caught in a storm on a weekend away.
Good quality tracks loop through and around the forest, running adjacent to the river in parts before sprawling out into the gum trees.
It is an explorers delight to discover where each of the tracks may take you.
The Orara River access is a highlight. Flowing strongly in parts over sandy banks and cascading over river rocks, the river quietens into deep holes full of native Australian Bass.
Ideal swimming or picnic spots exist adjacent to the cleared shed area, but there would be no limit to what could be found along the river boundary with a pair of good boots and a sense of adventure.
Please watch the video to get a full sense of the block and its surrounds, and then contact our office to arrange your private inspection of this very private piece of Australia.

556 Poley House Road, Lanitza
Set at the end of a quiet no-through road with views to Glenugie Peak in the distance, this 110 acre creek-front property provides an ideal balance between bush privacy and productive capability.
The comfortable four-bedroom home has been lovingly maintained and improved on during the vendors’ 28 year tenure, but family matters now call down south.

A huge dam set below the house provides great water security as well as peaceful water views.
Three large tanks catch the rainwater off the home and sheds, with a header tank used to pump from the dam and then gravity feed to a system of garden taps, which all hint at the terrific amount of food that has been grown in this productive patch over the years.

Lots 3 & 4 Mantons Road, Lawrence
Grow your cattle enterprise or start a new venture on this hidden gem of grazing land situated within minutes of Lawrence.
Consisting of two titles totalling 270 acres, the block is already qualified for two building entitlements giving you many options in terms of future building development.
The natural undulation of the land ensures permanent water security from Duck Creek or one of the many dams, while in times of flood the cattle are naturally pushed further up the hill away from harm.

Numerous home sites exist around the two portions and views over the neighbouring Everlasting Swamp National Park add a scenic touch to the productive grazing country.
