Property Details
Rural retreat with chic edge...
If the walls of this gorgeous home could talk, they would tell you about the property's divine location, a setting where pockets of rainforest, a gently flowing creek, horse trails, paddocks and established gardens co-exist.
"Kingfishers Bend" is like one big storybook - an enriching landscape of undulating country smattered with lush cedar and Davidson plum trees; where goats, cattle, horses, chooks and ducks live alongside one another in complete harmony and from where the ocean can be glimpsed.
This 100 acre property was once a banana farm and years later operated as a dairy farm.
The present owners have sought to retain part of the dairy farming history, albeit with a twist, by converting the old dairy packing shed into a shabby chic guesthouse.
It is now a wonderfully rustic, airy space with high exposed ceilings and a large undercover terrace that overlooks the dreamy swimming pool setting.
The main house is equally worth a mention - it has an earthy atmosphere with timber and slate floors and feature walls of red ochre and forest green hues.
The property is divided almost evenly between pasture and regenerated bushland, in which the NSW Catchment Management Authority are actively regenerating areas of rare native vegetation.
The pockets of rainforest are home to a cross section of wild life. The current owners run approximately 40 cows and 35 goats on the land which borders picturesque Lacks Creek. The creek is always flowing.
There is also a finger lime orchard that grows on the property. On a commercial market these finger limes would fetch approx. $35 to $50 a kilogram.
You would never be short of guests with this amazing property.
There are seven fenced paddocks, with water supplied from seven dams. In addition, there are cattle yards, stables, a feed room and a packing shed with room for machinery.
There are several horse riding trails within the pockets of rainforest at the rear of the farm.
Privacy from Middle Pocket Road is assured from the high brushwood fence and automatic gates.
Inside the main home are three bedrooms downstairs and an exquisite master suite upstairs, with a spa bath in the en suite.
The main bedroom is lined with blackbutt and has a lofty feel, looking out to Mount Chincogan and the farm.
The kitchen has a walk in pantry. Timber decks open out to both the front and the rear of the house off the open plan living room.
The converted dairy shed would be ideal for a teenage retreat or guest accommodation.
If the stillness of country life ever gets too much just a short drive to nearby beaches.
Or busy Byron Bay with Coolangatta airport approx 30 minutes drive
This property is perfectly placed for country living.
Subject to Council approval this fabulous property would lend itself to dual occupancy if desired.
