This rural allotment has been in the same family for two generations and is now being reluctantly sold.
The property was originally selected due to its north facing aspect, completely freehold status, no easements on the property and the abundance of hardwood timber. The same benefits people are looking for today !!!
The property is 47Ha or 118acres and is located approximately 60km from Casino and Tenterfield, 1.5km from Drake Village and 20km from Tabulam village.
The property has had a number of improvements carried out over the years which include the construction of an 'off-grid' one bedroom cabin in 2018. The cabin has a 1.2Kw solar system with a Lithium battery back-up. The system will easily operate a fridge, washing machine, television and any other appliances you made need. The cabin has an open plan - with gas stove cooking, wood fireplace and a shower and composting toilet.
There are water tanks to catch the rain water and a small garden shed and a gas hot water system.
Other improvements include a beautiful north facing building site. (The property possesses a building opportunity) The site has already been developed and levelled and just requires the normal council approval for the building of a house.
A quirky improvement on the property is the construction of a number of rock walls over the property. Serving a dual purpose of a stone fire break and as a fence you will find a number of rock walls when you go exploring. (They also serve as a very good seat to admire the view !!!)
Attached to the property is a Private Native Forestry plan. This allows commercial logging of the property in accordance with the regulations. The property was last logged about 40 years ago and there is now an abundance of mature and growing hardwood timber species.
The property is fenced on the southern and eastern boundaries and has approximately 1km of road frontage which is ideal for accessing the property.
There is one dam on the property and a number of seasonal creeks which are tributaries of the nearby Plumbago Creek.
As you would expect there is an abundance of native fauna and flora, including bandicoots, kangaroos, wallabies and spectacular birdlife. If you are quick you might be lucky to see a bush orchid which are currently flowering on the property.
For those who want paradise to include internet, mobile reception and television reception this property also has all of that.
This property is truly a slice of paradise - awaiting new owners.
