Welcome to 'Layana' (where waters meet). Located along the picturesque riverfront of Oxley Island, this character filled farmhouse offers a rare opportunity to embrace the charm of rural living with modern comforts. Set on approximately 41.58 hectares* (102 acres*) of prime farmland, this property combines the best of both worlds: a beautifully renovated farmhouse, stunning river views, and ample space for agricultural pursuits. The best part is, it's located just 15mins* drive to the beach.
The farmhouse itself has been lovingly renovated over it's time, blending contemporary finishes with its original charm. Inside, you'll find an impressive state of the art kitchen, four modern bathrooms, and spacious living areas that open up to spectacular views of the river. Every room has been designed to maximize the natural light and stunning scenery. Step outside to your infinity edge pool which overlooks the mighty Manning River (parts of the house, some appliances and pool are in need of some repairs due to flood damage).
A key feature of this property is the separate, self-contained granny flat, which offers privacy and comfort. It also enjoys the same breathtaking river views as the main house (in need of some renovations due to flood damage).
The gardens surrounding the home are truly something to behold, with established exotic plants, rare fruit trees, and beautiful matire fig trees scattered throughout the property. These lush, well maintained gardens create a peaceful atmosphere and enhance the natural beauty of the surroundings. There is also a large chook pen and vege gardens.
For those with agricultural needs, the property is fully equipped with essential infrastructure, including a large machinery shed, a five-bay carport/shed, and a set of cattle yards with a loading race. The property also benefits from town water and tank water, well fenced paddocks, and a range of agricultural possibilities.
A well-sited riverfront farmhouse with a strong indoor–outdoor focus — vaulted gabled deck, large sliding doors and quality timber floors give it a relaxed, considered character. It is not an architect‑designed or historically significant landmark, but the combination of setting, scale and tasteful upgrades make it a distinctive rural property rather than a generic suburban home.
