This is the quintessential back to the country property, it's got everything going on. Established on approximately (38.98 ha) circa 96 acres, 5 minutes from the famous Ellenborough Falls and the hamlet of Elands with its school, Post Office and General store, 45 minutes from Taree/Wingham and an hour from the mid North Coast beaches. This property will appeal to those looking to escape the rat race seeking the "good life". There is something laid back and serendipitous about this estate. Ultimately the property is about the Privacy, the land and the water, (springs and streams) which means you can grow things. But in the first instance, you need to be comfortable and safely housed. Fortunately, it is a tidy and convivial 3 bedroom farm home with all the country comforts available, including 2 bathrooms, gas stove top, dishwasher, Instant gas hot water system, a reverse cycle air conditioning system, a slow combustion fire place with cooktop and oven and an energy efficient wet back system connected to a 300ltr hot water tank and installed in 2023. There is an enclosed productive vegetable garden handy to the kitchen and a large 12m x 7.5m two bay concrete slab shed with a big mezzanine for storage of all the farm implements. Rain water is supplied from 3 tanks (at House and Shed) with a combined 25,000Ltrs supplemented by a 10,000Ltr tank for Creek water (pumped from the creek to a header tank) then gravity fed to house toilets, washing machine and garden hoses. The home is elevated but sheltered and has a large undercover veranda with uninterrupted eye watering views over the property. To my agents' eyes, the view was reminiscent of sights I fondly recall from Tuscany. The crops are different to the Tuscan landscape but the terraced hillside with orchards (with deer proof fencing) for the 2 acres of more than 100 established and producing organically grown Fruit and Nut trees are a lovely and similar sight. They include Figs, Hazelnuts, Cherries, Macadamias, Pecan, Apples, Nashi Pear, Mandarins, Oranges (Blood orange, Lanes Late Orange and Navel) Tangerine, Lemon, Lime, Olives (Kalamata and Manzanillo), Nectarine, Peaches, Apricots, Plums, Avocado, Grapes, Kiwi Fruit, thornless Blackberries, Raspberries and Blueberries. With such variety and abundance, the country markets beckon! In addition, there are 2 quality spring fed dams and 2 catchment dams, with a 5 megaliter water allocation! An amazing resource for growing produce. To top it off, there is a first tier spring fed creek with yabbies and eels. As a point of real interest, the vendors advise they undertook research into Truffle growing e.g. climate and soil preparation (liming for accurate ph. levels etc) prior to planting and that the Hazelnut and Oak trees are all inoculated with Black Truffle fungi. Over the years there has been a myriad of feature trees planted including - Birch, Oak, Maple, Crepe Myrtle, Ornamental flowering Cherries, Magnolia, Ornamental Wattle, Protea, glorious Liquid Ambers, and ornamental Clumping bamboos + Clumping Buddha belly bamboo. Another point of difference and interest, the vendors inherited 3 joined containers established as a climate controlled underground facility. They advise they have successfully grown Shiitake mushrooms in this facility. If it was of consideration, this amenity (which needs only modest deferred maintenance to be fully operational), could easily be repurposed as a cellar, or to grow hydroponic vegetables and plants etc or in an emergency it would double as an excellent bush fire shelter. Presently the Vendors are running a starter herd of cattle but with the existing good fencing on 60 acres, plus the cattle yards with ramp, crush and holding paddock all in place, the vendor says these numbers could be doubled. There are wild deer on the property and if your interest is a little hunting for venison there is a Cool room for home kill (all it needs is a condenser and it's good to go) In addition, there is ample Hardwood timber (tallow wood, white mahogany, red mahogany and grey gum) for selective logging for a modest passive income and or, building, plus a lifetime of firewood. Another project the vendors were going to develop was to place a few holiday cabins into some of the perfect private spots that exist on the farm a perfect passive income project, Finally, for those that love biodiversity there are some lovely pockets of rainforest to nurture. As noted at the beginning, this property has it all. If your country minded and you hanker for green acres and the hills, fire up the family wagon and come take a look at this one. You won't be sorry. The vendors are inviting Expression of interest, call Garry Knapp the Exclusive Agent for details on price range and opportunities to view.
