This property is in a great location, peaceful and secluded, on the Sapphire Coast of southern NSW, about half way between Bermagui and Tathra (20-25 mins drive). It is a short drive through bush tracks to beautiful quiet beaches, eg Aragunnu, Bunga, and Cuttagee, to Mimosa Rocks and Mumbulla National Parks and to Murrah Hall (community and entertainment centre).
The property runs North-South along a ridgetop with a permanently flowing freshwater river and creek flats at the northern end. There is easy access to the long Murrah River river frontage with its sandy banks and swimming holes. The track in, a no through road, is suitable for two wheel drive vehicles if you drive carefully.
There is abundant wildlife, including koalas, kangaroos, wombats, sugar gliders, black cockatoos and lyrebirds.
Facilities include:
a camping/property service area in an elevated location above the river, with a solid shelter and solid concrete bench and storage, plus flat areas for parking, etc.;
excellent mobile phone coverage, courtesy of line of sight to a new telecomms tower at Barraga Bay;
a separate small, rustic but solid, shed currently used for storage;
an environmentally safe composting toilet based on the "Humanure" design;
a 1000 litre water tank; and,
plenty of firewood.
According to Environment NSW, the property is of high conservation value. Conservation Agreement (CA) proceedings have been initiated, and are currently awaiting formal evaluation. This process can proceed or be cancelled depending on buyer's plans. The most recent Notice of Valuation from NSW Valuer General puts the unimproved value at $332,000 as at 01 July 2024. Current Council rates are $1852 pa. Under the proposed CA, rates and other Government charges would be reduced to almost nil.
There are grants available under a CA for environmental management programs if a buyer wishes to take those opportunities. Buyer would need to research which of these best fits their circumstances.
The vegetation is all native bush. The most recent weed inspection (2024) found no weed management required.
This property is a great getaway spot, whether you want to help with the conservation effort, feel the need to 'bug out' in a beautiful location or want to become engaged with a friendly local community (or all of the above). There is plenty of room for a caravan or other temporary accommodation but no dwelling entitlement.
