1024 Pappinbarra Road

PROPERTY DESCRIPTION: Some properties reveal themselves in layers - the first platypus sighting, the afternoon you discover how clear "crystal clear" really is, watching wrens fly across the river with grasses to weave into nests. This 130-hectare Pappinbarra River holding is one you need to experience to understand. After years here, we can confirm: every promise it makes, it delivers. THE RIVER & NATURAL ASSETS: Around 1.5km of pristine Pappinbarra River frontage with confirmed platypus population (we see them most weeks), turtles sunbaking on the same logs, bass fishing, and birdlife that keeps you watching. Multiple access points from shallow spots where kids paddle safely to deeper swimming holes. The water really is that clear - you'll see turtles underwater from the bank. This isn't marketing exaggeration - our five-star camping guest reviews confirm the water quality and wildlife are genuinely exceptional. THE HOMESTEAD: Six-bedroom, two-bathroom home deliberately designed for dual living. Ground floor is fully self-contained (two large bedrooms, bathroom, living, kitchenette) - perfect for extended family, guest accommodation, or income generation. Upstairs is your private sanctuary: three double bedrooms, three living areas flowing through to a kitchen where you'll cook with river views from the windows. The master suite delivers - walk-in wardrobes that actually fit wardrobes, and a private balcony where you'll spend evenings watching the valley below. WATER & INFRASTRUCTURE: Exceptional water security: 16 megalitre irrigation licence, 1.5km permanent river frontage, five dams, troughs in paddocks, 135,000L household storage, and 2,039mm average annual rainfall. Over 80 hectares of quality improved pasture (kikuyu, clover, setaria) currently running cattle but suits horses, sheep, or whatever your vision requires. Three-phase power, solar power and hot water, multiple shedding, sealed road access to house. Established flower gardens, raised vegetable beds, mature fruit and nut trees - the infrastructure is in place whether you want to farm seriously, host guests, or simply live well. PROVEN INCOME OPPORTUNITY: The property operates an established farm camping business with documented bookings with five-star reviews, demonstrating proven agritourism income potential. The dual living design means you can host guests downstairs while maintaining complete upstairs privacy, or use the space for extended family, worker accommodation, or simply enjoy the flexibility. LOCATION: 20 minutes to Wauchope (regional services, schools), 45 minutes to Port Macquarie (beaches, airport with direct Sydney flights), 10 minutes to Beechwood Primary School. School bus route passes property. Yes, you're removed from the world. No, you're not isolated. WHY WE'RE SELLING: Our kids are university-bound and we're ready to downsize, travel, have adventures that don't require 130 hectares and cattle management. This property has given us more than we could have asked for - now it's time to pass it on to someone who'll appreciate what we've built here.
