Some properties you admire from the road. This one you live on — right at the water's edge, on one of the finest stretches of river frontage the Clarence has to offer.
2499 Big River Way is the riverfront home people picture but rarely find. A substantial two-storey brick residence, solidly built and beautifully positioned, it makes the most of its setting from almost every angle — and backs it up with the space, storage and self-sufficiency that make river living genuinely easy.
Upstairs is where everyday life unfolds: three bedrooms, a renovated bathroom, ducted air conditioning and open, generous living that draws the river in. Downstairs delivers the practical muscle — a double garage, laundry and a vast run of storage or workshop space. Boats, trailers, tools, projects, hobbies: there's finally room for all of it.
The home has also been thoughtfully improved over the years, including a solar and battery system with a 12V secondary setup — a quiet bonus for anyone who values efficiency, backup power, or simply a property that's been looked after.
But the real magic is the frontage. The block runs to the median high-water mark, opening to a wide grassed bank and a solid rock-based edge. Where many riverfront blocks are steep or awkward to reach, this one has been terraced, with a concrete path making the walk to the water effortless. Boating, swimming, fishing, launching the kayak, or a coffee at sunrise and a cold one at sunset — this is frontage that gets used, not just viewed.
Down on the bank, a covered entertaining area gives you a front-row seat to the Clarence rolling by. It's easy to picture the Sunday afternoons, the family gatherings, the rods in the water and the kind of unhurried life only genuine river frontage delivers.
The 1,039sqm block is wide, usable and well laid out, with apparent room for further shedding, subject to any necessary approvals. And in a detail that matters on the river: during the owner's very long tenure, the property has never had floodwater through the home — a reassuring layer of confidence for riverfront buyers.
Then there's Ulmarra itself — one of the Clarence Valley's most charming riverside villages, growing in popularity for good reason. Sitting pretty between Grafton and Yamba, it offers a primary school, a lively main street, cafes, galleries, specialty shops and the famous Commercial Hotel, perched right on the Clarence.
Frontage of this quality, on a block of this size, simply doesn't come up often. The owner has committed to a move and will consider all genuine offers.
Properties like this are remembered. Don't let this one be the one you missed.
