Just 5 flood free km from Bellingen this 58 acre riverfront property offers 2 existing cottages with DA approval for conversion to Farmstay Cottages with the building of a new home in an elevated position. With approx 20 acres of rare river flats, 38 acres of undulating country and 500m of river frontage it’s perfect for horses, cattle or almost any agricultural use you may have. The heritage-listed cottage would make a fantastic tourist attraction, surrounded by lush country and rural lifestyle, so close to Bellingen.  There’s a huge (15 x 9m) shed, workshop, cattle yards with  headlock, 10 ton grain silo and much, much more.

The heritage-listed cottage was built pre 1900’s and offers 3 bedrooms, living, kitchen, bathroom, laundry & toilet.  The additional “workers cottage” is circa 1930’s/40’s with 3 bedrooms, living, kitchen, bathroom and toilet.  The quality of the land is excellent and the Kalang River frontage offers great swimming holes and 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.

Another huge plus for this property is that it’s just so, so quiet, yet so, so close to town. Its got ADSL Broadband available, mobile phone reception, good TV and radio reception and only one visible neighbor in a dead end road with nothing but local traffic. This property offers an outstanding opportunity to capitalize on the ever growing tourism market in Bellingen (DA approval for conversion to Farmstay Cottages with the building of a new home in an elevated position) as well as enjoy rural living so close to Bellingen and all it has to offer.

So in summary, a magnificent property with some of the best quality land you’ll find anywhere, a classic original cottage, additional guest house, lots of shedding, good fences, good water, and rare riverfront just 5 km from Bellingen.
