IDYLLIC getaways don't get any more idyllic or away than this. The 1209 ha (2970 acres) property Arakoon' approx. 40km north west of Tenterfield, is completely encircled by two creeks effectively giving the property its own moat, making it the perfect place to escape the rat-race, whether as your own private weekend getaway or as a new and exciting tourist facility.
Once used for running sheep and goats, the property has been allowed to revert to its native state over the past decade, essentially turning it into a private national park. It is now home to wild goats and deer as well as a range of native species, and the creeks Back Creek runs Arakoon's Northern boundary and Tenterfield Creek runs along its Southern boundary are full of fish - with an abundance of murray cod and yellow belly, making it an attractive holiday destination for anglers; the abundance of goats and deer make it perfect for hunting; and the steep, mountainous, terrain within Arakoon's boundaries makes the property ideal as a four wheel drive park.
The buildings on Arakoon also lend themselves to tourism. The solid two-storey home, on the property's eastern end has three bedrooms and plenty of living area. There is also a separate hut for guest accommodation, a shearing shed and an area already set up for camping. Other improvements include a set of timber cattleyards and numerous machinery/storage sheds.
Opportunity knocks again come and have a look!
