Nimbins local award wining agent, Uri Ross, proudly presents 2298 Nimbin Road, Nimbin. A large 120.26 acre parcel of extremely well maintained land on the southern edge of the famous Nimbin village is up for sale for the first time in 55+ years. Make this blank canvass yours with an aspect that is the best in the Nimbin Valley!
The property has endless potential from eco tourism, mixed farming, dual occupancy and more. A sealed 330m driveway snakes up the hill to the best building site I have seen in my 9 years in the industry. This is an epic site, it will steal your attention leaving you in a state of awe. There are multiple building sites on the property which have very gradual/flat areas to build the dream home or mansion, minimal neighbours and constant long, panoramic, 360 degree views.
This property would be on the national map if the right buyer created a tourism business here, a wedding venue or a high end restaurant (STCA). The property will leave the most particular buyer in a daze with its natural beauty. Often the views are still visible at night when there is part moon, a great star gazing site with no interruptions.
To power your project, have the choice of a perfect solar aspect, or connect to the mains power. High voltage lines joining Lismore & Nimbin run through the lower part of the property so connecting to the grid is very feasible, though solar options are becoming cost effective and resulting in very low running costs.
If you are looking for flat rolling country, this will not suit. There are plenty of rolling shelves across the farm to build on, along with areas of steep land. All of which is accessible by nearby tracks. 4×4 vehicle can access all parts of the property, and when wet, a buggy or tractor is suitable.
Some may may be curious, yes, this is the old Nimbin Quarry property. No, the quarry is no longer in use and will never be reinstated. This is not negotiable moving forward with any buyer. The rock pits are now 15-18 foot deep dams, holding a huge amount of spring water and a great place to fish, swim and have a family gathering.
There are huge deposits of basalt and gravel still available on the property and can still be used for internal roads but can never be sold, given or traded with anyone off the property – on site use only!
The property has been meticulously maintained over the decades, which means you are not buying a property that you need to battle weeds and regrowth. Make life easy in the modern day with AgDrone contractors now servicing the area, or continue spot spraying the odd weeds that comes up.
One of the largest beef producers in the Northern Rivers agists the property and runs 100 – 120 head on these two neighbouring properties, this property equates to approx 55% of the total amount of land therefore can currently return $18,876 PA (inc GST) on agistment.
The beef farmer has recently sold his cattle locally and his three best lines cattle came from this property topping the sales at the yards achieving up to $2900 per head. Safe to say this juicy green grass will keep cattle happy & fat.
Across the property there are 6 dams that the cattle can drink from, some up to 10 foot deep. Healthy volcanic soil is found across the property, with some clay soils lower down. There are kilometres of internal tracks. And beautiful native forest on the higher country that has also been meticulously maintained over the years. The owner has sowed broad leaf paspalum in the forest, setaria in the bladey grass which is now taking over, and a cominbation of rhodes grass and kikuyu across the property. As pointed out there are some weeds on the property though I will say they are at manageable and minimal amount.
The forest is as well maintained as the pastures, with a minimal understory, there is loads of millable hardwood timber, firewood and a eco habitat that covers approx 20 acres of this paradise.
This property when purchased in 1968 broke records in the valley, and it will do the same when it sells this time around. The owner lives nearby and is in absolutely no rush to sell. He is a workaholic and is considering downsizing if the right buyer presents themselves.
Buyers will be qualified before inspections.
