The day begins with one of nature's great spectacles. As you take that first sip of coffee, the sun rises over the Richmond River. Golden light spills across the water as morning mist hangs gently above the surface. Migratory birds skim low across the river, barely disturbing the stillness. Some mornings it's a sea eagle circling overhead. Other days it's a koala nestled high in the trees. The only constant is the sense of peace.
It's a scene that never feels ordinary and one that becomes part of everyday life at this remarkable riverfront lifestyle acreage in Broadwater.
Positioned on approximately 9.31 hectares (23 acres), this rare Northern Rivers property combines Richmond River frontage, open grazing land, three dams, established infrastructure and a beautifully updated family home. Offering privacy, space and a genuine connection to nature, it's the kind of property that invites you to slow down and enjoy a pace of life that's becoming increasingly difficult to find.
The Home
Large windows and glass doors frame the ever-changing river panorama, filling the home with natural light. Multiple living zones provide flexibility for families, while the flowing floorplan creates a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living.
At the heart of the home is a contemporary kitchen featuring stone benchtops, a large island bench and walk-in pantry, equally suited to everyday living and entertaining.
An air-conditioned main living area provides year-round comfort, while ceiling fans throughout the bedrooms capture the natural breezes that flow across the property.
Outside, expansive entertaining areas overlook the river, creating the perfect setting for long lunches, family gatherings and relaxed weekends with friends.
The Land & Lifestyle
Beyond the home, the land itself is a standout. Three dams provide practicality and visual appeal, while the combination of open grazing country, Richmond River frontage and elevated views creates a property suited to hobby farming, recreation or simply enjoying the privacy and freedom of acreage living.
With direct access to the Richmond River from your own frontage, a future owner may also wish to explore the potential to apply for a private pontoon (STAs), creating the ultimate boating and fishing lifestyle. There is also ample room for a swimming pool, allowing you to create your own Northern Rivers retreat (STCA).
Koalas, sea eagles, pelicans and migratory birds are regular visitors, ensuring every season brings something new to enjoy.
The Opportunity
A substantial machinery shed offers three-phase power, extensive storage and workshop space for machinery, vehicles, boats and equipment.
At the eastern end of the shed, a separate partially completed fit-out provides flexibility for hobbies, creative pursuits, a home business, guest overflow or future multi-generational living opportunities, subject to the necessary approvals. Combined with the scale of the shed itself, it adds further versatility to an already impressive lifestyle property.
