Last Listing description (June 2017)
This is a fantastic opportunity to take the tree change and embrace a new lifestyle. Located in the beautiful Orara Valley this is a chance to escape the tensions of the big smoke and enjoy the peace the calm and the sense of community this area brings. It has it all. Beautiful home, fantastic acres, great views, close to Coffs Harbour and unlimited scope to further develop income earning potential.
The home is a wonderful example of Australian colonial design with its wide under roof timber verandah. At over 500 square metres this is a substantial home perfectly sited at the top of the property along with its flat 1 acre garden and lawn area. Handmade bricks add to the solid and strong feel which is complimented by the 2 year old corrugated roof. There are 5 bedrooms. The master suite has a luxurious ensuite with spa and built in wardrobes. Bedrooms 2, 3 and 4 are all large with built in robes and ceiling fans. The fifth bedroom is away from the rest of the house and has its own sitting room and ensuite. It is perfect for a granny flat, a B & B facility or the place to welcome your guests.
The formal lounge is carpeted and has an open fireplace. It has amazing views to the east overlooking rolling hills. The formal dining area is also carpeted and adjoins the kitchen on one side. The kitchen is a cooks dream with double oven, gas cooktop and double sinks. There is plenty of cupboard space and a wide bench top provides a great entertainment centre. This area is the hearth of the home with its informal dining area and family room all serviced with air conditioning, ceiling fans and a log fire. Cool in summer, warm in winter with lovely views over the rear of the property to the hills beyond.
The garden is well established and easy care and the pool is set up with an easy care filtration system. There is a twin carport leading to the verandah for all weather access to the house. The driveway to the home has electric automatic gates. Water is supplied through 20,000 litres rainwater tanks.
The property boasts 50 arable acres with a current holding of 26 cattle. Improvements include a large shed which has been used as a granny flat with potential for additional income and more recently as a working area for garlic production.
The water tanks are supported with a bore producing unlimited potable water. Recent tests show it s as good as town water without the chemicals! There is a large purpose built caravan shelter and an adjoining large 40ft shipping container. The potential for income is limitless. Recent activities include 10 acres under garlic.
It s a beautiful home in a glorious serene setting. It could be a B & B, a hobby farm for cattle, an income producing crop set up or all of the above. OR it could be a sensational place to retire as well as a wonderful place to raise the kids away from the dramas of the big cities
Its 20 minutes drive to Coffs Harbour - a vibrant city set among beautiful secluded beaches with great schools and university, Health Campus, Private Hospital and airport. 20 minutes from a fantastic dining and caf scene and just a little way from trendy Bellingen and amazing national parks.
This has been our home for 15 years and we are sad to move. We will miss the privacy and peace, the Milky Way at night and the frosty mornings of mid-winter. But for us it is time to downsize. Come and have a look at our home or simply enquire on line and we can chat about how it can be your home.
