Property Description

This 25Ha or 61 acre flood free property is only 7km from the M1 motorway but you feel as though you are miles from anywhere!! Situated on the property is a three bedroom hardi-plank cladded home which is completely off-grid. The solar system will run all modern day appliances and has a large nine battery back-up system. The sheds also have solar power along with solar hot water system. (There is also a diesel backup generator) Mains 240v power is approximately 600 metres from the house and the current owner had the house wired to accommodate 240v power in the future. The bedrooms are a good size with the main bedroom being on the north eastern corner of the house. At the rear of the house there is a spacious family/sunroom. The bathroom is a two way bathroom and has linen storage and shower cubicle. The main kitchen has gas appliances and is 'U' shaped and is very functional. The second kitchen has a slow combustion fuel stove and could easily be converted into another room such as a study or something similar. Outside the home, there are two concrete tanks inter-connected supplying rainwater, along with a two bay lock up garage and a two bay carport area. The garage was utilised as a dwelling whilst the main house was being built so the garage could be a second dwelling or a small studio/teenagers retreat. (STCA) The property is fully fenced and livestock proof and would be suitable for horses or cattle. A windmill is located at a bore which supplies water to the livestock. Around the infrastructure there is approximately ten to fifteen acres of cleared land with the remaining land lightly timbered with plenty of shade trees or some millable fencing timber. The boundary fencing has been cleared and you can drive around the whole property. As mentioned the property was not dramatically affected by the February/March flood except for flood waters reaching the western boundary fence line. The infrastructure remained high and dry during the flood event, although nearby roads were closed. It is hard to believe the M1 on-ramp is only 7km away from this property, with the beaches only another 20km. The Ballina Byron airport is 60km from the property, with shops for bread and milk, schools and public transport 16km away. This is a property that has all the conveniences including no electricity bills, but has the potential for the new owners to make their mark on this one. Call to inspect.
