Uki is the gateway village to the Gondwana Rainforests of Australia World Heritage Area, sitting at the base of Wollumbin National Park with direct access to some of the oldest rainforest on earth, including Mount Jerusalem National Park. This 4,727m² block is right in the middle of it — returning $750 per week in rent until February 2027, zoned RU5 with a 450m² minimum lot size, and positioned directly behind one of the Northern Rivers' most iconic country pubs. Each of those things on its own would be worth a look. Together, in a village where land of this scale almost never changes hands, it is a genuinely rare combination. Whether you are buying for the income, the development potential, the lifestyle, or all three, this block gives you room to do it properly.
The development options here are worth spelling out. The RU5 zoning and lot size support an attached secondary dwelling, a detached secondary dwelling, dual occupancy, or a subdivision. These are not fringe possibilities — a DA for a secondary dwelling has already been approved by council. Whether the end goal is to build and hold, build and sell, or simply subdivide and move on, the numbers on this block support the conversation. All options subject to council approval.
The practical approach for most buyers will be to hold the existing tenancy at $750 per week while working through plans and approvals, then build a second dwelling on the rear. At that point you can sell one, occupy one, or hold both as an income-producing pair. The land does the work while the lease runs.
The house itself has been renovated with an update kitchen, bathrooms and carpets. A second bathroom with bathtub services the remaining two bedrooms. Outside there is a 7.5 by 6.2 metre covered alfresco, a double lock-up garage with storage room, and a separate double carport giving four covered spaces in total.
This property sits directly behind the Uki Hotel, which has been the social heart of the village for generations. The Saturday markets, the café strip, and Uki Public School are all within comfortable walking distance. It is a small, genuinely tight-knit community. People come for a weekend and start looking for land on the Sunday.
Worth noting on timing: the Mt Warning summit walk has been closed for several years. The track is expected to reopen in July 2027. Uki is the closest village to the trailhead. The short-stay and visitor economy that follows that reopening will be felt here first and most directly.
For broader connectivity, the new Tweed Valley Hospital at Kingscliff is approximately 40 minutes away. Gold Coast International Airport and Southern Cross University campuses are around 45 minutes north. Murwillumbah, with its schools, shops and rail connection, is 13 minutes south.
This is a genuine entry level address with income in place, multiple development pathways, and a village that buyers and tenants actively seek out. Opportunities at this intersection of cashflow, land size and location do not last.
