Stretching to the base of the local iconic landmark, Glenugie Peak, and spanning over approx. 1,500 acres (608.25ha), this breath-taking property offers a rare balance of farmland and protected conservation land.
Conveniently located just 20 minutes' drive from Grafton City, and fabulous beaches of Minnie Water and Wooli, this major landholding combines the best of a rural lifestyle with conservation-driven stewardship.
A Unique Dual Opportunity
Selected for its exceptional ecological value, this acreage includes approximately 135 acres (55ha), excluded from the protection zone, designated for farming, homestead building, and enjoying the serenity of rural living. Beyond lifestyle and farming, this property also provides a work-from-home opportunity through its fully funded Biodiversity Stewardship Program, with over $1.3 million allocated for environmental management over 20+ years. This yearly funding supports activities like maintaining tracks, clearing boundaries, controlling invasive species, and other essential conservation tasks. This funding allows for you to complete the work yourself or pay a contractor to assist on any work beyond your ability. The funding covers your efforts.
Ready for Sustainable Farming and Building
The property's exclusion zone offers ideal land for small-scale cattle farming, equestrian pursuits, fruit growing, or simply appreciating the peace and beauty of the landscape. With a shed, a beautiful dam view from your future farmhouse, basic cattle yards, and additional dams across the property, the land is well-equipped for various uses. The entire boundary is recently fenced, with internal fences that can be adapted or removed to suit your needs, with a budget of approx. $26,000 to assist.
A Legacy of Conservation
The conservation area is protected in perpetuity under the Biodiversity Stewardship Program, preserving the habitat for several threatened species endemic to the region, such as the square-fruited ironbark, squirrel gliders, Green-thighed Frog, and Masked Owl. In the first year, approximately $50,000 is available to enhance access across wet areas, to connect the home paddock with the rest of the property for facilitating ongoing conservation efforts.
This property represents a once-in-a-lifetime chance to own a sizable coastal acreage where you can build, farm, and oversee vital ecological land, creating a sustainable and meaningful legacy.
There will be two Open Gate information opportunities advertised, where a representative for the Biodiversity Stewardship program will be on-site to answer your questions.
