Located approximately 5 kilometres South of Bendoc and boasting cleared grazing, former plantation and old growth timber this property is a unique lifestyle mix, that's perfect for those who love nature and the great outdoors or plan to live a sustainable life.

The property is fenced on the boundary with internal fences that divide the property into 8 paddocks where stock can be easily rotated. The fencing is in excellent condition. The property is approximately 141.9ha/350.63ac and is 50/50 cleared to timbered ratio. Grazing consists of native and improved pastures and currently runs approximately 30 cows, with supplementary feeding through the winter months, carrying capacity of this property could be increased with more pasture improvement. All paddocks have plenty of shelter for cattle. Excellent steel cattle yards with a near new vet crush.
Timbered areas consist of former plantation as well as old growth-rainforest areas and has tracks throughout, perfect for hiking or horse riding. You can ride your horse for miles through the local forests. The Bendoc State Forest bounders the property on 2 sides. A well maintained 1.3klm driveway meanders down from the main road to the sheds.
Water security is a feature of the property with frontage to Bendoc River as well as spring fed and run off dams and seasonal creeks. Each of the 8 paddocks is watered by dam, river or reticulated trough system.
Current accommodations on the property are approved for short stay only, however, have been completed with a view for development of a permanent residence in the future. With increasing tourism to the area the property provides great tourism opportunities (subject to council permits and approvals). The current residence has two bedrooms, office, open lounge/dining/kitchen area and bathroom/laundry in a secure lock up shed (20m x 8m) and yard. There is a 40ft roofed container near one shed used for storage, and an area inside one shed used for a workspace. A standalone 5kw solar system with lithium batteries provides ample power for current setup. Mains power is close by making it easy to connect to the grid if preferred over the available solar option. Stay connected with wireless NBN and Telstra 4G mobile reception throughout the property as well as landline telephone connection in the shed.
A building site has been prepared and will facilitate easy connection to the shire approved installed septic system.
