Description: Properties of this scale (840Ha) and nature are exceptionally difficult to find, particularly in a location so close to the NSW North Coast and the coast itself. The properties features include:
TIMBER
The property presents a significant timber resource, with a Private Native Forestry (PNF) plan in place across the entire property, authorising private native forestry activities subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable approval.
The diverse hardwood resource provides the potential for a range of commercial timber products, including millable-grade sawlogs, veneer logs, poles, girders, piles and pulp logs. There is also potential for the production of firewood, fencing timber and timber suitable for building and rural purposes.
A variety of established hardwood species are found throughout the property, providing both a valuable natural resource and an opportunity for ongoing forestry management. The combination of the property's substantial landholding, established access tracks and proximity to major transport routes provides a practical foundation for managing and accessing the timber resource.
TRACKS & ACCESS
The property is exceptionally well serviced by an extensive network of established gravel and forestry tracks, providing access to numerous areas throughout the holding.
There are well in excess of 15 kilometres of formed gravel tracks, with many suitable for access by 4WD vehicles and providing generally reliable access across the property in a range of weather conditions.
One of the property's major advantages is its accessibility. The track network commences approximately 200 metres from the M1 Pacific Motorway, providing an unusually convenient connection between the property and the major road network.
The internal tracks provide access to a number of significant features of the property, including the large dams, former quarry, waterfall and eastern boundary. The eastern section of the property also provides elevated outlooks towards the coast and ocean, adding another dimension to an already diverse holding.
FORMER QUARRY
Located in close proximity to the M1 Pacific Motorway is a former quarry site, understood to have been operational during the 1980s and 1990s.
The existing quarry area may provide an opportunity for future use or potential reinstatement, subject entirely to investigation, planning requirements, environmental considerations and all necessary approvals from the relevant authorities.
Its location is particularly noteworthy, with the quarry positioned close to the M1 and supported by established heavy-vehicle-accessible gravel tracks throughout the property.
For an appropriately approved future operation, the combination of an existing quarry site, substantial landholding, internal access and proximity to the major highway network could provide an interesting additional component of the property.
SEVEN SEPARATE ALLOTMENTS
The property comprises seven (7) separate allotments, creating a substantial and diverse landholding with a number of potential long-term opportunities.
The surrounding area has a minimum lot size of 100 hectares for dwelling opportunities under the applicable Richmond Valley Council planning framework, subject to the relevant planning controls and approvals.
On that basis, the property's seven separate allotments may provide potential for multiple dwelling opportunities, with approximately eight dwelling opportunities suggested across the holding, subject to detailed assessment by Richmond Valley Council and confirmation of all applicable planning, environmental and development requirements.
Purchasers should undertake their own enquiries with Richmond Valley Council and the relevant authorities regarding subdivision, dwelling entitlements and development potential.
WATER
Water is one of the property's outstanding natural features.
Sawpit Creek runs in a northerly direction through the property, with numerous natural tributaries feeding into the creek throughout the holding. This network of waterways contributes to the property's lush landscape and provides an important natural water resource.
Towards the eastern boundary is a spectacular natural waterfall, tucked away within an established subtropical environment. Surrounded by dense rainforest vegetation, mature native species and impressive Bunya Pines, this secluded waterfall creates a truly unique natural oasis within the property.
The waterfall is one of the property's most distinctive features and offers a rare opportunity to enjoy a private natural setting within such a substantial rural holding.
In addition to the natural waterways, the property also features two large dams, positioned towards the western boundary. These provide further water resources and add to the property's versatility for rural, forestry and recreational pursuits, subject to applicable water and environmental regulations.
LOCATION
Despite the property's substantial size and secluded rural character, it is exceptionally well positioned for access to major transport routes and surrounding towns.
• Approximately 200 metres from the M1 Pacific Motorway exit
• Approximately 10 km to Woodburn
• Approximately 20 km to Evans Head
• Approximately 77 km to Byron Bay
• Approximately 131 km to Gold Coast Airport
The immediate proximity to the M1 provides convenient access north and south, while the nearby townships of Woodburn and Evans Head provide access to everyday services, shops, schools and amenities.
The location offers an unusual combination of privacy, scale and natural beauty without being isolated from major transport infrastructure and coastal centres.
A TRULY UNIQUE HOLDING
The property combines a remarkable range of attributes within one substantial holding - native timber resources, an approved PNF framework, an extensive internal track network, former quarry infrastructure, multiple separate allotments, substantial water resources, two large dams, a natural waterfall and rainforest environment, all within close proximity to the M1 Pacific Motorway.
For those seeking a property with scale, natural beauty and genuine long-term potential, this holding offers a combination rarely available in the region.
Whether the vision is forestry, rural pursuits, recreation, land management, conservation or exploring the property's potential income-producing opportunities, this is a property that offers considerable scope.
Most importantly, it is a property that can be appreciated simply for what it is - a vast and remarkably diverse piece of North Coast land, featuring natural waterways, rainforest, timber resources and secluded areas to explore, yet positioned only minutes from major transport infrastructure and nearby coastal communities.
