Lush undulating plains, tropical gardens and kilometres of pristine creek frontage form the basis of an exceptional lifestyle opportunity on this scenic acreage in the Byron Hinterland.
Located mere minutes from the quaint village of Bangalow, the property forms part of the stunning Northern NSW Rainbow Region and is equidistant to Byron Bay, Lismore and Ballina Airport, which are all within a 25-minute drive.
Brimming with natural beauty, the 28.49ha property known as 'Akubra' was once a dairy farm and you can wake to the sound of roosters and chirping birds in the original characterful wood farmhouse, which remains the main residence.
Boasting some of the most picturesque and best fertiliser-free pastureland in the shire, the property comes with a large farm shed, six dedicated paddocks and its plains can easily accommodate up to 40 head of cattle or more than 300 sheep.
Primed for a new owner to maximise the property's potential, there is development approval in place to build a large family home on the site, along with the opportunity to build other tourist and visitor accommodation, subject to Council approval.
The acreage backs onto a 3.5km stretch of Byron Creek - home to many platypuses - and there is ample fishing for bass, cod, catfish, mullet and smaller fish species. Fauna is also abundant across the acreage and many natural waterholes, offering stunning spots to fish or swim.
Adding to the leisure amenities is a five-hole undulating golf course, and a lagoon-style pool, leading to a large covered outdoor seating area. Fitted with power and a fire pit, it is the perfect space for hosting a large gathering overlooking a magnificent rural backdrop.
