Nestled in the serene landscape of Northern New South Wales, this 20-hectare property presents an ideal opportunity for agriculture or a peaceful retreat. Build your dream home on the north-facing, open block that offers panoramic views of the Mt Chincogan ridge, an incline leading to a rear cliff, and side views of the ocean. Its 360-degree vistas stretch across the landscape, providing a stunning northern outlook and a dramatic backdrop of rolling hills and cliffs, perfect for reforesting while maintaining the spectacular views.
The property is bathed in ever-changing light throughout the year, from breathtaking sunrises over the sea and morning fog drifting through the valleys to gentle evening breezes and calm, peaceful days. Seasonal views of a waterfall cascading off the Koonyum range add to the charm. Rich, fertile soil supports diverse fields, from meadows on the lower half to tiered tracks winding up the hillside, with patches of remnant rainforest contributing to the vibrant ecosystem.
It is particularly worth noting – salubrious! -that the property enjoys its microclimate. A cooling breeze on the hottest days comes up the valley from the sea, and a katabatic evening breeze comes off the slope and cliff behind. The position and elevation of the property also mean you are protected from the otherwise unsettling effects of the strongest winds
Water is abundant, with a large 3ML dam near the house site and three smaller dams fed by rainfall, soaks, and springs, providing a year-round water supply. The main dam, recently reinforced, ensures long-term reliability.
The property has a 100+ square metres shed. The front section of the shed is a basic dwelling with two bedrooms and living/ kitchen space. 25,000-litre water storage, solar hot water with storage tank and shower, solar photovoltaic panels & battery for powering water pump, small fridge, and lighting, separated well back from the house site, and for use while building a spectacular dwelling commensurate with the land!'
Enjoy diverse birdlife in tranquil surroundings, with morning songs from pied butcherbirds and kookaburras. Yellow-tailed black cockatoos and other species can be seen daily as they descend from their clifftop roosts. Wedge-tailed eagles soar on the rising breezes while seasonal flocks of red-browed finches and chestnut-breasted mannikins add a splash of colour. Spot eastern whipbirds, golden-headed cisticolas, red-backed and superb fairy wrens, brown honeyeaters, swallows, and other small birds. Ducks, coots, cormorants, and herons frequent the dams, and seasonal visits from rainbow bee-eaters and spangled drongos complete the symphony of birdsong around the clock.
Access is convenient through a network of well-maintained tracks, suitable for walking and exploring. The property also features two majestic Moreton Bay fig trees. There is excellent potential for orchard production, with around a dozen mature mango trees and another dozen older avocado trees offering unique and flavourful varieties.
Originally part of the historic "Yates's farm," this property offers a beautifully positioned house site and a setting rich in natural charm. It is perfect for those seeking a harmonious blend of agricultural potential, stunning landscapes, and tranquil living. It is just 8 minutes to Mullumbimby and less than 20 minutes to the beaches of Brunswick Heads.
