This ten acre property has been lovingly protected for decades by owners who cherish the koala habitat and protect this vital location adjacent to a protected area and close to the beach and Crowdy Bay National Park. It has conservation zoning and is awaiting further protection so is not suitable for developers, subdivision nor commercial use.
It is a relatively flat parcel of land that sits atop what is referred to in old topo maps as 'the prairie grass island' and has lovely soil and a beautiful aspect with paddocks that slope gently down from the house site around it. The property is fenced and can graze a few animals for gentle vegetation control. If animals are not wanted and wildlife only is preferred please note that the local brigade regularly assist the elderly lady owner with an assisted control burn. This is mainly for nature and wildlife protection as the house itself sits within maintained lawn and open area.
The house is solidly constructed. Pale rectangular textured concrete brick over a steel frame. The present owner re-pointed all brickwork 5 years ago making it maintenance free for the future. A spacious wrap around verandah has vistas in all directions including north to the mountain. At night the ocean is heard softly.
This peaceful and relaxing home would suit a large or extended family wanting almost separate living areas, as it consists of 2 x 3 bedroom wings that share an open plan living and kitchen space at the heart of the dwelling. If not, there's huge scope to make it even more open plan by simply opening up one of the large bedrooms to join the already fairly spacious central living area.
The ceilings are high. The bedrooms are generous in size and all have wide windows overlooking the nature outside. Some open to the verandah.
A new solar system awaits a stand alone battery. Currently there is a diverter sending excess generation to the hot water system. In the beautiful slate floored open plan living dining area a large combustion fireplace is adequate for heating. It's a well insulated and climatically positioned house that is cool in summer and easily warmed on chilly nights.
This unique property is close to the town of Laurieton - which you can access by driving through scenic Crowdy Bay National Park to go shopping or go up the highway to Port Macquarie or south to Taree. There are established fruit and nut trees and endless scope for a beautifully landscaped garden. Already stone garden beds are in place but the previous owners have preferred a native garden with just a few stunning exotics, Japanese Maple, Rhododendron and salmon pink azalea. It's a delight in both autumn and spring.
There are 20,000 gallons from an underground concrete tank of super fresh rainwater for the house and 5,000 gallons for the garden with plenty of scope for more catchment. The house pump is 3 years old, a good brand. There is a brand new kitchen, stove and hot water system.
The owner will organise viewings after discussion but as the property is currently tenanted viewings will need to be by appointment and possible in the presence of other potential buyers. The property is being offered as vacant possession as the tenant has already organised another farm to which they will move at the end of this December. However, it is not out of the question for the tenant to move earlier if immediate possession is required. Note: the photographs have been taken by the owner who is not experienced and it is a difficult property to photograph. There are expansive views to mountains and bushland and paddocks and it is one of the most scenic properties in the district.
