Raine and Horne Armidale are pleased to present Lot 3, 2553 Campfire Road, Walcha to market. Conveniently located 30 minutes south of Walcha, 40 minutes north of Niangala, and 1.5 hours northeast of Tamworth.
With 101.16 ha of grazing land that includes the infrastructure of 3 dams, 2 troughs, and cattle and sheep yards this property also delivers a spectacular creek frontage.
Impressively, the Fairy Creek Cottage is attached to the property and is set within a scenic backdrop of established trees, paying great homage to its rich history. Dating back to the late 1800s, Fairy Creek Cottage was built by the Mullins family, who owned it from 1897 through the 1920s. The property features remnants of its original charm. (There was previously an earthen larder, once used to keep food cool, and the site of a historic tennis court near the old woolshed.)
The Mullins family raised seven children here, tending to sheep and transporting wool by cart. A rich history of horse riding, community spirit, and early family life fills the property, with ties to local Catholic services held onsite in 1913. In the 1970s, it was owned by the Robson family, with the Faulkner family taking over in later years.
This rural gem is a piece of New South Wales history.
