Set across an impressive 127.8 hectares (315.8 acres), this remarkable lifestyle property delivers the perfect blend of rural productivity, off-grid capability, and breathtaking natural beauty. Whether you're planning to build your forever home, secure a long-term landholding, or escape for weekends immersed in nature, this is an opportunity that truly stands apart.
Elevated to capture sweeping 360-degree panoramic views, the property showcases iconic outlooks across Careys Peak, Chichester, Barrington Tops and out toward Stockton, creating a stunning backdrop from sunrise to sunset. Access is via a roadside dirt road right of carriageway, adding to the sense of privacy and seclusion while still being accessible.
At the heart of the property is a substantial 30m x 20.5m Class 10 machinery shed, an outstanding asset while not approved for permanent living, it provides a versatile base with lockable enclosed storage, an entertaining area, and concrete points ready for a car hoist. Basic amenities are in place, offering a strong foundation for those looking to build their dream home (STCA).
Designed for self-sufficient living, the machinery shed is well-equipped with 10kW of solar power via 33 panels, supported by a Fronius and Selectronic control system, making it fully off-grid. A 33kVA diesel generator is also connected, capable of supplying backup power and even 3-phase electricity to the shed if required.
Water infrastructure is equally impressive, with two 60,000L tanks connected to the shed (including one with rural firefighting capability), along with a 13,000L tank at the original shack and an additional 22,000L tank servicing the cattle yards. A FujiClean Envirocycle septic system, installed and maintained by Civcon, is already in place, and water lines are set up with a 240v pump, 25mm taps at either end of the shed, and a 50mm poly line ready for future house connection.
The land itself is well-suited for agricultural use, zoned RU1 Primary Production and currently set up for livestock. Boundary fencing is in place, with the property divided into 6 to 7 paddocks, previously running 50 to 60 head of cattle. Steel cattle yards are established,The yards use a rotary force and are designed for operation by 2 people. The crush has an Arrowquip Q-Catch vet crush with dual side adjustment for calves.Three smaller holding areas feature sheep-proof fencing.
Water security is a standout feature, with approximately 11 dams spread across the property-three of which are permanent-ensuring reliable supply for stock year-round.
Adding to the property's character is the original shack, once used for sheep grazing and weekend stays prior to the construction of the machinery shed. This provides a glimpse into the land's history and offers additional utility for storage or redo for rustic accommodation ability. Perhaps try your hand at Air-bnb!
