• Dry Creek (1060 Dry Creek Rd) is a secluded wilderness property, hidden in the headwaters of Dry Creek, 32 km north of Scone in the foothills of The Liverpool Range. The property is the last one in the Dry Creek valley and consequently offers complete privacy and tranquillity, being encircled by Towarri National Park and Wingen Maid Nature Reserve, with their abundant flora and fauna. Seemingly worlds away from hustle and bustle, yet still close to urban conveniences, Dry Creek is a convenient drive from the vibrant towns of Scone, Muswellbrook and Maitland, with Newcastle within easy reach via the Hunter Expressway.
• The property enjoys approximately 460 metres frontage to Dry Creek itself, complete with attractive swimming holes and various picnic/camping areas, in addition to a further two creek systems. Spectacular views are afforded south down the Upper Hunter Valley, north to the remote Crawney Pass area and east to the Barrington Tops.
• Dry Creek consists of six lots, arranged in an unusual end-to-end configuration, resulting in a long corridor of land, extending across three valley systems for almost three kilometres of widely differing country.
• Central to the property is a new 14x6m Metrol shed, fully insulated and on a sealed concrete floor. An external, covered living area is supported by a 5100l rainwater tank, and a large, professional standard, stainless steel sink/food preparation bench. The main shed section features a roller door leading out to a 4x3m external, concrete floored Versiclad skillion. The living area provides views across the forested valley to distant hills and an opportunity for family gatherings or a place of quiet contemplation.
• Ten acres of mowed area surrounding the shed ensures unlimited wildlife viewing, in addition to providing bushfire protection. This space is one of many areas that has undergone extensive regeneration with local rainforest species of The Liverpool Range, all grown from local seed.
• The property has two dams; both professionally stocked with crayfish. It is an unfenced wilderness retreat and therefore unsuitable for agriculture, appealing to the nature enthusiast, (especially bird lovers) or those simply seeking the absolute solitude and privacy of the tall forests. Due to its border with Towarri NP, and undisturbed surrounds, the property offers extraordinary wildlife viewing opportunities.
• Tall trees are a feature, as is a spectacular deep and narrow canyon cut through sandstone, marked by a waterfall, caves and rock pools. Access to Dry Creek is normally 4wd, through Towarri NP, passing nine creek crossings amid spectacular rock formations and areas of warm temperate rainforest.
• The property is unfenced and therefore unsuitable for livestock
• The property is not eligible for a Building entitlement.
AGENT REMARKS - This is the ultimate nature property with seclusion, as all you can hear are the birds and wildlife.
