Wake to the sound of birdlife, watch the morning mist roll across the paddocks and enjoy the peace, privacy and freedom that only a property of this scale can offer.
Set across approximately 127.2 hectares / 314 acres, 637 Lagoon Road is where rural lifestyle and practical farming come together. Whether you're looking to expand your cattle operation, escape the pace of town or create your own private sanctuary, this property offers space, flexibility and genuine opportunity.
The House Block
Positioned on elevated, flood-free land along the ridgeline, the approximately one-acre house block forms the heart of the property, overlooking the top paddocks and surrounding ranges.
The recently completed shed conversion provides comfortable studio-style accommodation with a full kitchen, open-plan living and bedroom area, a separate multi-purpose room and bathroom/laundry. Nearby is a second multi-purpose cabin currently used as a teenage retreat, complete with it's own plumbed in bathroom and kitchenette fittings - easily facilitating dual living set up. With power connected, septic installed and 170,000 litres of rainwater storage already in place, you can move straight in and enjoy the property from day one.
Alternatively, continue with the proposed 4-bedroom homestead build - professionally designed plans and a completed site survey in place, providing a valuable head start for those wishing to build in the future (STCA).
The house block also includes a recently built four-bay machinery shed, offering ample space for tractors, boats, horse floats, machinery and other farm equipment.
The Top Paddocks
Adjoining the house block are four productive, well-fenced grazing paddocks, forming the property's main working area. This is also where you'll find the quality Bordin Bros cattle yards and crush, providing practical day-to-day livestock handling close to the house block and machinery shed. Rising to approximately 24m above sea level, the top paddocks provide productive grazing and an elevated area to relocate stock during wetter periods.
A fully fenced and gated central laneway provides higher ground and connects the top paddocks with the larger bottom paddocks, allowing cattle to be moved safely and efficiently between the two grazing areas as seasonal conditions change.
The Bottom Paddock
The larger bottom paddocks combine productive grazing with the natural beauty of a picturesque Australian billabong, two additional dams and an established Melaleuca (tea tree) grove. Seasonal water retention helps maintain quality pasture and valuable fodder throughout much of the year, while the established Melaleuca stand may also offer future harvesting opportunities for essential oil production (subject to purchaser investigation).
The property is currently carrying approximately 115 head of cattle, comprising a mix of breeders, heifers, steers and stud cattle, which the owners will be taking with them to their next property. For buyers looking to continue the grazing operation, the property has the capacity to comfortably carry up to 200 grower steers during the warmer months, subject to seasonal conditions and management.
Located approximately 20 minutes from Casino, 35 minutes from Lismore and around one hour from Ballina Byron Gateway Airport, with school bus pick-up available at the end of Lagoon Road, the property combines access to regional centers with the space and tranquility of rural living.
Offered exclusively off-market at present, this is an opportunity to secure a substantial grazing property before it reaches the wider market. Inspections by appointment only.
