2140 North Arm Rd via Bowraville NSW 2449

“Willowbend” is an attractive 71 ha property (approx 177.3 acres) with a near 100 year old, beautifully maintained and part renovated timber home.

Set high on the bank above the head waters of the Nambucca River the farmhouse has a real sense of history and its location allows for lovely views from the living area. The home includes 3 double sized bedrooms, a large central lounge room, a dining room and the enclosed verandas offer extra living space for an office, sunroom, and guest accommodation when required. From the master bedroom you pass through the original French doors to a private annex room with lots of possibilities.
A wide deck has been created at the entrance of the home on the east side and there is plenty of paved area outside from the dining room, both perfect for entertaining or chasing the best spot for the time of day and season.

Other features of the home include a big pantry, high ceilings, ceiling fans, a woodfire for heating, timber lined interior walls and even the slow combustion cooker is still in place although superceded now by the big freestanding gas oven and cooktop. There is even a 3m x 2m cellar beneath the kitchen.

Importantly the bathroom has been renovated and includes a spa bath – the perfect way to relax after a hard day, though there is little better than a dip in the pristine waters of the river during the warmer months. The river also provides lots of fun in other ways, canoeing, kayaking and the fishing is good too.

The property is in 4 lots under one title with approximately 80 acres of river flats and suitable grazing land with the balance timber covered hills. There are lots of outbuildings; the original “soldier settler” timber dairy, a newer concrete block dairy with a single “garage”, a seven bay carport and steel cattle yards. The property has 3 phase power available, plenty of established fruit trees, big netted vegetable gardens and solar hot water too. Also available through seperate negotiation are the stock currently held on the property and machinery including a 45 hp 4wd tractor with a near new slasher and a variety of other implements.

This property is a fabulous option for a return to the good life on the land without making comromises or giving up any creature comforts as the Internet is via satellite and digital TV comes through a standard aerial .
