This sensational property has it all; from the gently rising acreage that offers Clarence River & distant mountain views, the grand four/five-bedroom homestead, the two-bedroom cottage, shedding, the pool and the infrastructure to bring your horses straight in. Let's take you on a journey
Southgate is a river-lined primary production area central to Grafton and Lawrence in Northern NSW, approx. 1 hour each side to Coffs Harbour or Yamba. Mostly, highly valued for rich alluvial soils on the river flats, our 68-acre property (approx.) is different, in that we are elevated out of flood-threat, providing security and diversity for livestock. Currently running 30 head of cattle and 8 horses, the property offers 8 separate paddocks, all with town water and electric fencing, 2 dams, 2 stables, sand based square yard, round yard and vet crush. Shedding is generous with a large 3 bay machinery shed, large double garage, carport and optional car accommodation on the lower level of the home.
Architecturally designed, and Master built approximately 30 years ago, this profound dual-residency masterpiece is tremendous in all aspects. The roofline is stunning, and bullnose verandas run the entire perimeter of both homes, with a wide breezeway conveniently separating the two.
The main residence offers expansive wide spaces, high ceilings and bay windows to welcome light, and the distant river views into the home. Take your choice of the formal living area with formal dining, or the open plan living/dining/kitchen in the heart of the home-made snug by the wood-fire heater. In summer it's all about BBQs by the pool in the generous alfresco area. You really are spoilt for choice. I have heard tea is best sipped in the sun, at the top of the grand front entrance.
Fully refurbished, and modernised with stone benchtops and new appliances, the solid Jarrah kitchen is here to stay. The air-conditioned master bedroom is a generous King size, with veranda access, walk-in robe and a period style ensuite. Three additional bedrooms are featured, although with the study, we can certainly declare us a 5-bedroom home. Not only do we have 4-5 bedrooms, but we also have 3 bathrooms here. This is without adding the teenagers retreat or rumpus room downstairs (please see floorplan).
With more than enough bang for your buck already, we now have a complete second home with independent access. Extensive windows, high ceilings, and the wrap around veranda bolster the spaciousness of this sturdy brick beauty. Wood-fire heating, air conditioning, fans, the full kitchen with laundry provisions, carpet underfoot, 2 bedrooms with built-in robes and bathroom. Plus, there is plenty of space to potter around without bumping into your neighbour. Perfect for the aging parents, family, friends, airbnb, or even a permanent tenant. Its even better in person!
Mains power, 6kw solar system, phone coverage, town water, dams and independent septic, rates are $2190pa (approx.). With agistment and rental options you could very well make a passive income quite easily here.
