Located on the glorious Mid North Coast and in one of the most idyllic coastal villages you could ever find, Gladstone via Kempsey, South West Rocks and Crescent Head beaches.
Gladstone village sits on the bank of the majestic Macleay River and is surrounded by lush green cattle farms that combine into the suburb of Gladstone. It is referred to by some as a kind of ‘surf ‘n’ turf’ village – a mix of the folk that love the river and the beaches and ocean nearby, and the farming folk.
Gladstone is full of old historic buildings including the Heritage Hote , trendy and eclectic café’s and gift shops as well as being serviced by a local Primary School, Council swimming pool, sporting oval, op shop, bakery, general store, butchery, pharmacy, fuel station, post office, nursery, rural store, landscaping store and the glorious riverside park. Life here is as near as the ‘old days’ as you can find – safe, slow and cruisy, friendly and community focused. There’s the wonderful monthly markets where you can find fresh local produce, arts and crafts and much more.
Gladstone is often referred to as the ‘Jewel Of Our Valley’ and an easy fifteen-minute country drive back into the main service town of Kempsey for all your major shopping, services and high schools, or ten minutes around the road to access the Freeway and scoot away!
This home at 60 Barnard Street is one of the finest in the village. The architecturally designed home offers the most splendid rural views to the coastal headlands and hence also captures the comfortable cooling ocean breeze – just open a window or two and welcome in natures free air conditioning most any day you wish for it.
The home was designed to take in as much rural view, ocean breeze and open space as possible whilst also providing a multitude of useable spaces on the lower level for storage and art/craft workshop – you will be surprised at what this home offers downstairs.
