"Sacred Woods" 100 acres of Peaceful Lifestyle Paradise ** INCLUDING INCOME ** - For Sale #011490

** SALE due to retirement **

Multiple dwellings on separate titles, with new building entitlements still available on individual title holdings.  Registered easement road connects several lots.

This gorgeous park like homestead includes a heritage style 4 bedroom homestead as well as a fully functional cottage, built on a stunning green rolling landscape displaying gorgeous views from every angle.  The property has been long established in the historic Sandy Flat area in the Northern Rivers, and is close to the booming township of Tenterfield NSW 2372.  Embellished in new England style landscaping and horticulture, the property has been carefully planted with deciduous trees and fruiting mulberries to compliment the green pasture and grazing lifestyle.  Meandering down the scenic driveway, colours change throughout the seasons as the Liquidambars (sweetgum) turn from green to red signalling the coming winter, the beauty of the farm here really is sensational year round!

Originally a sheep and ram stud, the land has exceptional grazing and is well watered with 7 dams, 3 genuine fresh water springs and seasonal run-off tributaries that course over little rock waterfalls.  There are also several rain water tanks, amounting to over 60,000L of rain water storage, with options to increase by adding tanks to the sheds and garage, although owners have stressed the point that they have never run out of water even during the worst droughts.

The property boasts all new main water lines throughout the whole property, bringing water to every paddock to service the needs of animals and installed with the intention of establishing more fruit and nut tree orchards in the fields.

Steel post eco-board and Timber house with Hardwood front and rear decks raised off the ground for Termite proofing and view vantage. The house is fully insulated, very sturdy and well constructed by a licensed builder with over 60 years experience.  Country homestead feel with ergonomic design, there is plenty of functional storage throughout the house.  Open plan kitchen and living, warmed in winter by a wood stove fireplace with private bedrooms that open each side of the house onto the wide verandahs. Laundry and muck-off room at the rear entry to the house keep muddy feet clean, with additional freezer and storage space. 2 generous master bedrooms at opposite ends of the house make for a very spacious and private living arrangement, complimenting the cozy feel to the home. The entire house has recently been repainted inside and professionally cleaned throughout.

Proven primary production income from the established dog boarding / breeding kennels on the property with annual income as accounted averaging 150k annual.  Premises is less than 2 years old and custom designed for low maintenance and to meet the environmental and behavioral needs of dogs. All steel and hardwood design, with lush grass and big iron-bark trees giving shade.  If little dogs are not your thing, the area could also be used to keep miniature goats, sheep, ponies or for market gardens etc.  Infrastructure cost over 180k to build in 2020, owners are now retiring after many years due to family circumstances changing.

Multiple fully fenced pastures support rotational grazing for cattle (up to 50 head), horses, sheep, donkeys, alpacas and a few families of native wallabies, kangaroo, goanna and echidna. Big old shade trees are spread out nicely in the fields and are home to the occasional koala sighted, while hardwood forest of stringy and iron bark surround the vista.  Firebreaks have been maintained along the perimeter, and the Sandy Flat Rural Fire Station is right across the road for an added sense of safety.

Electric front gate allows for easy access when returning home from town, and provides extra security / private access for studio guests.  Rustic sandstone pillars greet you when entering the property, with a private entrance right off the New England Hwy.  Just 13 minutes to Tenterfield Town, with schools, Coles, arts centre, hardwares, library, cafes, cinema, pizza!  Close proximity to the Bluff River, National Parks, walking trails, horse trails and world heritage listed areas.
