Just 5 km from Bellingen on a bitumen road with no bridge to cross is this fantastically fertile property. With approx 20 acres of rare river flats, 41 acres of undulating country and 500m of river frontage it’s perfect for horses, cattle or almost any agricultural use you may have. This classic cottage was built pre 1900’s and offers one ‘bedroom proper’ plus two enclosed verandah bedrooms. A second separate (probably workers cottage) now offers additional accommodation with 3 more bedrooms. There’s a huge (15 x 9m) shed on concrete slab, workshop, double carport, good fencing, cattle yards with head lock, 10 ton grain silo and lots, lots more.

As soon as you arrive at this property the quality of the land is obvious. The property offers a total of approximately 61 acres with around 20 acres of rare river flats and the balance in undulating grass covered hills, this property is agriculturally appealing in a private position just 5km from the heart of Bellingen and all it has to offer. The river flats are flanked by approx 500m of river front to the Kalang River with a perfect swimming hole for younger children (with adult supervision) plus plenty of clear, fresh water.

The current owners comfortably ran 35 breeding cattle here all year round or this year they have successfully harvested over 159 bales of feed in their first baling in Jan and expect over 100 bales in their second bailing in April. Between baling they buy cattle in winter when prices are down and sell in summer when prices are up. The fencing is all in good order with 6 separate paddocks, 6 gravity fed water troughs, 10 ton grain silo, 30 km electric fence energizer, large 3 pen cattle yards with headlock and holding paddock, plus a huge 5 bay (15x x9 m) shed on concrete slab with power and water. The property enjoys fresh spring water delivered through a bore next to the house regulated to 600 gallons per hour providing a virtually limitless supply, plus there’s 2 underground irrigation points in the river paddocks making this a very well set up property suitable for all sorts of livestock or agricultural pursuits, particularly market gardens, and ranks highly in the ‘sustainable stakes’ being just 5 km from Bellingen on a flood free bitumen road. Needless to say a property as fertile as this is always home to lots of birds, frogs, wallabies and much other native wildlife.

The cottage itself is a classic. Initially a small, simple farmhouse with just one bedroom it now offers an additional 2 (enclosed verandah) bedrooms, new timber kitchen with double sink, pull out additional bench and gas cooktop, 2 x split system reverse cycle air conditioners, bathroom, laundry, separate toilet & utility room with ¼ cut timber floorboards (said to be logged from the property) and lovely high ceilings. The separate workers cottage looks like its circa 1930’s/40’s with dado walls and high ceilings and timber floors, now providing additional guest accommodation with 3 bedrooms, living room, old kitchen (decommissioned) and bathroom together with covered verandah and great views over the property. The original cottage is insulated with gas heating and gas hot water, while the guest accommodation has electric hot water.

But back on the outside again where this property really shines, I’ve already mentioned the 5 bay shed and cattle yards plus there’s a workshop with power and lights, a machinery shed, double carport, wood shed, lucerne shed and chook shed and don’t forget the favourite kids cubby house and the huge, safe, flat front yard for them to play in.
