Approximately 6.5 hours North of Sydney, 45 minutes North of Coffs Harbour, 15 minutes to Grafton and 2.5 hours South of the Gold Coast airport, is this pocket of Pillar Valley Paradise affectionately referred to as 'Sunnyville'. Bordering Glenugie, here we are the corridor to the most beautiful beaches of Minnie Water & Diggers Camp and the pristine waterways of Wooli that are just 20 minutes away, all embraced by the Yuraygir National Park. Whilst it still is as nature intended it to be, the recent highway upgrade has made it much more accessible with Northbound access just a 5 minute drive away. Opportunities in this coastal Hinterland are extremely rare. This quality is incomparable.
The property of approx. 154 acres was purchased several years ago after previous clearing. Massive machinery was brought in to remove stumps, piles of timber were dealt with over the years and then the building of the impressive roads that navigate the acres. Roads that were capped with blue stone gravel being approximately 2240 ton of quality road base material professionally laid. The deep road into the property provides all-weather access for 2WD vehicles. Thorough consideration of the elements during construction lead to Geo fabric being used in the wettest areas to hold strong the foundations. Controls are in place for heavy rain and even fast-moving water.
With approximately 40 acres cleared, the remaining 114 acres are a gorgeous mix of timber including pole timber of ironbark, grey gum, spotted gum, squiggly gum, tallowood and bloodwood. Fences are complete and functional in the first half of the property and weather permitting the entire boundary can be driven. Water is abundant from the dam at the start of the property, a dam near the building envelope, a spring fed waterhole with its own little island and of course, easily accessible river frontage. Pioneer tanks of 37,000l and 63,000l carry clean water that service the dwelling.
The 4-bedroom shed/house with a sleep out has no sewer inspection or building certificate however it is within the 65 by 60-meter house entitlement to the NW. It was to be used until the 'forever home' was built on the main part of the footprint that has been extensively built up and graded, compacted, and capped with 10mm stone to allow efficient drainage. Here you have front row seats to the coast range.
The shed/house and solar are several years young and most of the work was conducted by qualified tradespeople. The solar is a 10kw system running a huge storage of 24 deep cycle batteries. When the highway was under construction this system proved mighty with several road workers camping on the site with fridges, freezers, cooling etc. It never skipped a beat and should be more than enough to service a new home. A large 7 bay parking area alongside is perfect for the machinery and vehicles. The immediate gardens consist of mango, lychee, pecan, pear, lemon, mandarin, and finger lime, out of the accessibility of kangaroos and our gorgeous visiting brumbies.
At the end of the wonderous road is the vast, green grassy opening of the Upper Coldstream River. In times of less rainfall, it becomes crystal clear and gives life to an abundance of wildlife. Here there is a boat ramp, a rope-swing, perch fishing and an amazing camping ground for family and friends. Some of the back paddock has also been graded for crop purposes if that is what your heart desires.
So accessible, yet so private. If peace and quiet is your thing, then here it is. If in contrast you want to host the largest of gatherings there are no immediate neighbours to contest. It's nature's playground, and it can be all yours!
