Looking for a sea change, or a tree change? Why not have both? Welcome to Paperbark Bay.

This property has it all! Set on 40 acres of paddocks and regrowth forest, Paperbark Bay is just minutes from secluded beaches and the pristine Manning River. This is one of the last large acreage blocks available on The Islands and properties like this, with abundant water and minimal maintenance, do not last long on the market. This four-bedroom, Federation- style, farmhouse features French doors in each bedroom that lead on to wrapround verandahs, that are framed with tropical gardens. You will love the two living rooms downstairs – one of which is currently used as a pool room. The upstairs master bedroom is luxurious – with ensuite that includes a huge bath - and private balcony that has a beautiful outlook over the property and surrounding bushland.
