It's time to pass the baton. This Old Bonalbo property is a real tree changer's delight. Developed on regenerative and sustainable principles, it is a 21.15-hectare allotment (approximately 50 acres), subdivided into four paddocks. With a sealed road at the gate, the front paddock has been planted out with a selection of mixed eucalypts and native pines, started 25 years ago. There is also an approximately 3/4-hectare pasture paddock and a larger 5/6 hectare back section of regrowth.
The property is within walking distance to the ever popular Bean Creek Falls. It is close to the lovely villages of Urbenville and Bonalbo which is equipped with a hospital, supermarket and other facilities. The property is located under 200km to Brisbane.
The hard work of basic infrastructure has been done, with a workshop / office, along with mobile living quarters located in the home paddock. This paddock also has an excellent clear-water dam with its own gravity feed water pipe feeding a vegetable garden.
There is also an office / caravan located in the more secluded fourth paddock of the property, overlooking both an excellent campsite and a separate larger dam. It is located in the upper reaches of Bean Creek, which itself eventually feeds into the Clarence River. It has an unimpeded northeast aspect with views up to the Yabbra Forest. Rainfall is usually 1000mm per annum.
Sustainability means the property is completely off-grid, with solar power to all its buildings, along with dry compost toilets. Three on-site rainwater tanks total approximately 20,000 litres. Undoubtedly, there is further development potential for this exceptional property.
Estimated livestock carrying capacity - 10 cows and calves - 10 horses or 40 goats and sheep
