Escape to the perfect country lifestyle. 41 acres (16.5 ha)

..or……. just plenty of open space to play and stay!
"Araucaria" takes its name from Araucaria cunninghamii, the australian native hoop pine. The property features majestic Hoop pines over 150 years old along with massive ancient figs trees, and together they give the property a real sense of grandeur. Located on the eastern side of the Burringbar range, catching the morning sun, at the end of a quiet valley with no through traffic. Most days the only noise you’ll hear is the birds or the running creek.
The home
The four bedroom home has been looked after properly and is ready to move straight into. There’s nothing to fix and nothing waiting on the to-do list, so you can unpack and start enjoying the place from day one.
There’s plenty of room for a family and a home office. All four bedrooms have built in robes, and the main has a walk in robe and an ensuite. The two big living areas provide space so nobody’s tripping over each other. The fireplace takes care of the cooler nights, and there’s air conditioning in the living area for summer. The kitchen has a large walk in pantry, gas cooktop and a beautiful outlook over the yard and beyond. With timeless terracotta floors the also features a double lock up garage and insect screens keep it easy to look after.
Immediately around the home, about half an acre of pristine rolling lawns have a pet proof fence on the perimeter. The kids and the dogs can run themselves ragged within a fenced area. An outdoor fire pit surrounded by the sprawling lawns that also roll down under a massive old fig with a rope swing. From most rooms you look out over the beautiful lawns, the figs and green pasture, with the old hoop pines standing over the lot.
The land
Beyond the house yard, the 41 acres of land is about half open grazing country and half eucalypt and rainforest, rising to an open plateau with sweeping ocean views.
There’s enough flat open ground for a big shed, stables or a full equestrian setup, with grazing areas (about 20 acres) ready for horses or cattle. The abundance of water and aspect would lend itself to a nursery or horticultural venture.
Water
Water is a standout. Gravity-fed spring water supplies a 36,000 L tank that keeps house the garden going with no pumping costs. An optional water license to pump from the creek is also available to purchase, opening the door to an even larger scale nursery or other horticultural venture.
Location
The property sits in the Upper Burringbar Valley. Upper Burringbar sits central to the whole Tweed. Byron Bay and Coolangatta are both 35 minutes away, and Wooyung Beach is a 15 minute drive through some of the prettiest countryside on the North Coast. Murwillumbah is an easy run too.
The incredibly popular rail trail is less than 2 km down the road, great for a walk or a ride, and neighbours already ride it to work in Murwillumbah.
If you love to ride, access to the trails of the adjoining 5,000 ha Mount Jerusalem National Park for horse riding, mountain biking (or bushwalking) can be arranged through the neighbouring property.
Grazing arrangement
The property is being sold by the existing neighbour farming family, who have grazed cattle on it historically. Buyers have the option of continuing that grazing arrangement for ease of management and might potentially allow better taxation management for some buyers.
