Nimbins Historic Hensen Run

Uri Ross Property proudly presents 5 Hensen Road, Nimbin, a historic property in the Nimbin Valley. This property, known as Hensen's Run, was established in 1903 and remained in the same family until around 1973. With its rich history, this hidden gem is a must-see for any discerning buyer.
**Professional tenants have leased the property and there is a current rental return of gross $12,042 per month! Most likely to stay in place until late 2027**
Approx 162.8 acres of forested and grazing land situated only five minutes from the village along a sealed road, in arguably one of Nimbin's most beautiful and picturesque valleys, is a great way to describe this piece of magic. Farming with 360-degree views, two beautiful waterways running through the centre, and three dominant ridges spread across this property which sits below Blue Knob and the Nightcap National Park, the entire eastern boundary is the Goolmangar Creek (approx. 556m), a permanent source of pristine water filtering down through the rocky creek from Sam's Gully further up the valley.
Approximately half of the land is currently cleared and used for small scale grazing, with other areas containing a variety of native trees and shrubs, including eucalypts, wattles, old cedars, casuarinas, and dense pockets of rainforest species, all providing shade. The property is also home to a variety of wildlife, including wallabies, echidnas, lace monitors, seasonal monarch butterflies, and a wide variety of birds come and go throughout the changing seasons.
Just up the easily accessible driveway from the front entrance gate, you will find two council-approved 3-bedroom homes that are 92 meters apart. The homes are situated on a quiet road, with a lovely outlook over the surrounding hills and valleys.
The "Hillview" farmhouse (approx. 172sqm) is a timeless timber structure, boasting a range of modern updates such as an updated kitchen and bathroom, ceiling fans, a walk-in closet, and a built-in wardrobe. The deck has been partially converted into a sleepout, yet the house still retains its original charm with polished timber flooring, a wood heater, wainscoting panels on the walls, high ceilings, and a traditional bullnose roof. From the wide verandas on two sides, one can enjoy the morning winter sun and the views of the surrounding area. The original two-room farm cottage, constructed from timbers milled on the property, is still part of the house, adding to its undeniable charm.
Both houses boast relaxing views of Goolmangar Creek from kitchens, veranada's which you will hear lying in bed at anytime of year.
The second house is a charming, approximately 40-year-old abode (129sqm), is clad in hardiplank and features two original bedrooms, a sleepout, and two decks - a large back deck and a small breakfast deck overlooking a creek with glimpses of the Nimbin Rocks. The interior is carpeted and floored with floorboards, and a 5kw reverse cycle air conditioning system ensures a comfortable temperature all year round. The home has always been rented to tenants. Around the two homes there are 25+ fruit and nut tree’s.
There is an abundance of sheds available, from a large, lockable structure with a concrete floor, ample power outlets, multiple work benches, and plenty of storage shelving, to a 4-bay shed with 3 bays open and the 4th converted into a large fully lined office, and the original old dairy bales and vat room, modified with stone walling and a large awning. Mains power is connected to the houses and sheds, with the addition of a substantial 10kw solar system harnessing the energy of the sun's rays. The meter box is designed to be able to read each structure separately. Additionally, there is a light-filled art studio with a stunning view and power, as well as a caravan under an awning with a paved area and nice outlook.
The location of the property provides peace and quiet. Enjoy the well-maintained garden, with a variety of citrus trees, macadamia nuts, mangos, guava, feijoa, tropical apple, bananas, mulberries, jaboticaba, and dragon fruit, as well as a chook yard and vegetable beds. Beautiful established flowering trees and the majestic old fig tree is a sight to behold. Furthermore, there are three rainwater tanks holding 59,000 litres, as well as two smaller tanks.
