Located 3 hours from Sydney CBD on closely held Pilot Hill, Harrington's most prestigious location, is this truly rare opportunity to secure a property that is as they say, "often sought but seldom found". 
The existing view from this property is beautiful as you would expect from a costal location called Pilots Hill.  Gazing east out over the Lagoon and Northern break wall, to the distant ocean, past Harrington sand spit, and then south over the Manning River and surrounding hinterland, it just keeps giving, but there's more, much more.  I 've seen the view from what might be called one day "the second story" and that view is eyewatering.  World class.  It pulls in the entire break wall, the Brother Mountains, Crowdy National Park, Crowdy Head and hundreds of kilometer's of coastline down to Foster, Manning Point, The Manning River itself and beyond. If you chose to make some alterations and build up a bit you will liberate this amazing bonus.
In the meantime, all the above is within a stone's throw of the tide. Glorious sunrises in the mornings, with fresh fish and chips just an easy amble down the hill for lunch and ample convenience shopping and coffee handy all day.  Come evening you can hear the lap of the waves washing onto the beach below they seem to whisper, come fish.  
If that is not enough to fire you up, jump in the family wagon and head north up the coast a handful of kilometres (10 minutes at the most) and you will find the world's best kept secret, Crowdy Head. A glorious holiday destination for those in the know. It enjoys multiple beautiful crystal white beaches and the most perfect boat harbour you could hope for. A safe haven fit to launch any leisure craft you could tow. 
Harrington is off the radar, the traffic from the south just flies past heading North. That is not going to last. This place has got a big future, and 9 High Street is a gem in the Harrington Crown it will be much sought after and an enviable asset for years to come for the lucky purchaser. 
The home itself is charming and character filled with liberal uses of hardwoods. It is a handsome convivial freshly renovated 3-bedroom waterfront bungalow. The main living area enjoys delightful sea views to the North and a seamless flow to a large functional kitchen.  The master suite offers walk in robe and renovated ensuite, The other two bedrooms enjoy  a renovated full bathroom. There is a sunny and private patio/deck towards the rear providing easy access to a spacious Single garage, a teenage retreat and additional storage.  The whole package is literally across the road from a coastal parkland reserve.  
Properties like this are often closely held for generations. This could be a once in a lifetime opportunity.
Expressions of interest are invited. Call Garry Knapp the Vendors Exclusive Agent for more details and price guide details.

Expressions of Interest - Offers invited.

A Coastal Gem hideaway with eyewatering sea views.

Behind this garden gate, hidden from prying eyes awaits a very private, truly tranquil and my vendors say, "mystical" abode. 1552 Colling Road is a charming convivial 3 bedroom homestead established high on the Bulga Plateau on a sunny 40 acre block looking north with eyewatering views. 
It is not exactly a cottage, but it has much of the charm of a cottage, its gardens are captivating, birds of all colours and calls abound...you feel the warmth and mellow comfort that only dappled sunlight can provide. Seasons are signaled by the cluster of handsome deciduous trees including beautiful Liquid Ambers producing scarlet autumnal displays over the most glorious northern canvas. This property offers so many vistas and moods, close to the homestead it is, almost parklike flowing in all directions towards the sun, in its outer reaches as it flows into the forest it has a rich primal atmosphere. It all depends on the time and the mood of mother nature, from misty morning cloud to fine soft and sensual afternoon rain, on occasions theatrical thunder, lightning and swirling wind..... come evening flaming scarlet red sunsets that stun the senses and at days end, replaced by a glorious light show that is the milky way, billions of distant stars twinkling like glow worms that light up the night sky... and at Colling Cottage it feels it's just for you.   
If you're genuinely looking to escape the rat race, either permanently or simply on occasions for some rest and recreation, this property is fit for purpose. It's big enough to be the quintessential hobby farm and home, but not so big as to be too much to manage as the holiday bolt hole. 
You will see from the photo gallery the homestead is convivial and comfortable it has nice volume and flows out to a north facing wraparound verandah that runs across the entire northern front. It is on the grid, has a sound septic system and the dÃ©cor is smart and tidy with all the important home comforts.  
There is an inviting mancave style shed garage. The kind of place I love to head to on a drizzly Sunday afternoon. You know, to rub in some linseed oil on a nice piece of timber or shave an edge with dad's old Stanley.
In addition, there are a number of other useful structures for wood stacks and farm toys. There are never enough of these kinds of sheds.
In addition, there is a large spring fed dam ensuring water security and a place to cool off in summer.
These are some but not all of the attributes of this property. I have focused on that which will encourage you to dig deeper. I see a lot of this kind of property, and this is a keeper. It's all about how it feels. This one will encourage you to slow down, read a book (or write a book), recalibrate and surrender to the pace and natural beauty of your surroundings. In short, it may add years to your life.
To appreciate it fully you simply must come see it. It's just an easy morning drive from Sydney CBD.  To encourage you to do that check out the features listed below.
The vendors are inviting Expressions of Interest.  For more information or a price guide call the exclusive Agent.
The property will be open for inspections most Sundays at 1pm but please call the agent to inform your intention to attend. Private inspections can be arranged.

Brand new Villa in Central Port Macquarie -  Price reduced and negotiable!

Located off the Oxley Highway handy to Mount Seaview Resort, just 50 minutes from Port Macquarie on tar top highway is this rare offering. A mystical sanctuary of biodiversity sequested in multiple hidden valleys of the upper reaches of the Hastings River with Ralfes Creek as its Southern Boundary, yet just 14 minutes from the popular hamlet of Long Flat, 30 minutes from the bustling regional center of Wauchope and a few minutes more to the beautiful coastal beaches of Port Macquarie on the coast.

In the first instance, be on notice, this is not your average forest land! It is in fact more fitting to style it a reserve or retreat for those that seek biodiversity and nature in all its glory. It is a 1008 acre wonderland of wildlife and lush sub-tropical rainforest layered under the dramatic canvas of Mount Seaview as it unfolds down from the heights of the Great Divide  established on the banks of Ralfes Creek a tributary of the upper reaches of the Hastings River. It is cloaked around its North Western boundaries by the Cottan-Bimbang National Park and ranges from undulating to steep timbered country. 

Because of its existing biodiversity it is an absolutely perfect candidate for consideration for a BCT (Biodiversity Conservation Trust) plan. Simply carve out your house block and arable requirements and wrap the balance of the land up with Covenants behind a fence to regenerate itself back to its biodiverse destiny. There are significant economic incentives to utilise this magnificent land holding in this manner.  

If your plans were different, options abound. The land has not been intensively logged for over 35 years but selective logging is available  and would provide useful passive income options. Fencing is sporadic, notwithstanding that there is ample grazing land potential. It has carried stock in years past. With a commitment to fencing this  potential could be revisited. 

The property also lends itself to be established as an eco-tourism estate providing kilometers of old forestry trails and tracks ideal for hiking or trail riding on either horseback, mountain bike or motor bikes. In addition there is ample water  provided by a Ralfes Creek which has never run dry it forms the Southern boundary as it meanders to join the mighty Hastings River. It is reputed to  offer great bass fishing and various swimming holes, many that would lend themselves to camping and picnic areas. 

The buyer will likely love the natural world and wilderness and probably have a deep interest in birds or wildlife or sub-tropical forests or all of the above.

Options abound going forward.  It could be re-purposed with subdivision into large home blocks.    Given the location and landscape on offer B&B accommodation is another obvious option with its ease of access and proximity to the flood of travelers passing nearby on the Oxley Highway.

The scale of the block along with its primal wilderness yet reasonably easy access to regional centers such as Port Macquarie and Wauchope provides the potential for a communal retreat
center. 

This is a truly rare opportunity. With respect to price the Vendor is seeking Expressions of Interest. The property is seriously for sale. For more information and independent inspections please call the Vendors Exclusive Agent.
