Nestled on Rawdon Island and offering 12.4 picturesque acres with over 220m of river frontage, this exceptional property has been retained by the one family for over 60 years, and offers a rare blend of rich historical significance and contemporary rural living.
Steeped in the storied past of early Port Macquarie settlement, the centrepiece of this estate is a homestead that began its life as a mill house approximately 150 years ago.
This historic residence exudes charm and character where multiple living areas are adorned with features including traditional fretwork, polished timber floors, and 'figured' glass windows.
The conservatory-style kitchen and family room offer a serene garden outlook, perfect for those who appreciate the beauty of nature, while the master bedroom is a luxurious retreat on its own level, offering extensive built-in storage and captures views of the river and Bago Mountain .
The main house, with its bullnose wrap-around verandah, is seamlessly linked to a large cottage moved from Port Macquarie township over 60 years ago. This versatile space has served as independent living quarters for family and short-term stay accommodation. The cottage incorporates two bedrooms, including a master with a walk-in robe, two spacious living areas, a country-style kitchen with an adjacent meals zone, and a contemporary bathroom. Its magnificent outlook captures the serene beauty of the Hastings River.
Additionally, the property features a games room/studio connected by extensive outdoor decking, perfect for entertaining, crafting, home gym or relaxation.
Improvements on the property include purpose-built motorhome shedding, a tractor shed, and a workshop/storage area. The home is surrounded by numerous garden 'rooms' and alfresco areas, providing idyllic outdoor settings.
The exclusivity of this location is highlighted by panoramic views of Caswells Channel (a branch of the Hastings River ), distant mountain ranges and rolling paddocks that gently meet the river at the rear of the property. Despite its serene setting, the estate is conveniently located just eight minutes from Wauchope, nine minutes from the nearest Port Macquarie shopping centre, and only 20 minutes from the heart of Port Macquarie's CBD, waterfront, and beach.
Immerse yourself in the rich heritage and modern comforts of this remarkable property on Rawdon Island - a rare opportunity to own a piece of history amidst the tranquil beauty of the Mid North Coast.
