Welcome to 912 Watson's Creek Road a hidden gem nestled within the Bendemeer Mountains in what I call God's Country just 5 minutes to the historic village of Bendemeer. Here you will find 94 acres of lush countryside, the property is a lifestyle block that also has a decent amount of quality grazing areas and will easily run 15-20 breeders year-round. These undersized river blocks with a dwelling entitlement (under 400 hectares) are very hard to come by and don't come to market often. Access to another adjoining 100 acre block could be negotiated with its owners for stock agistment.
The homestead is in the most beautiful position overlooking the MacDonald River and until you come and see it yourself you cannot fully appreciate the stunning backdrop and outlook.
There is as much water as you could ever want, pumped from the river to a header tank then to troughs and outside taps around the home plus 80,000 litres of fresh water storage and there are also 2 dams, one is spring fed. Make this beautiful property your permanent home or use the property as a getaway from city life. The property has been used as a Farmstay so you could also start your own business.
The MacDonald River is a clear watered river, filtered by the granite sands in its catchment. The river flows west into the Namoi River so there are no eels and an abundance of other riparian life such as platypus, water monitors, Bell's turtle, water birds, trout and other native fish.
Located on Watson's Creek Road with a sealed road to the front gate and just minutes to beautiful Bendemeer village. Bendemeer is located mid-way between Sydney and Brisbane on the New England Highway. There you will find Bendemeer's Historic Hotel, Primary School, Service Station, Convenience Store and Cafe. Then it is a very easy 35-minute drive south to Tamworth or 45 mins drive north to Armidale both regional cities with a fast-growing population and job opportunities. There is a School bus to the front gate twice a day and a community bus to Tamworth most weekdays from Bendemeer.
