196 Richards Deviation

196 Richards Deviation, Dunbible NSW 2485 For the first time ever offered to the market, Stokers Ridge Farm presents an exceptionally rare opportunity to secure one of the Tweed Valley's most remarkable lifestyle properties. Set atop approximately 51 hectares (126 acres) of fertile grazing country, this architecturally designed estate commands breathtaking 360-degree panoramic views across rolling farmland, ancient rainforest and the surrounding mountain ranges. Perfectly positioned to embrace complete privacy and an extraordinary sense of space, the property delivers an uncompromising blend of contemporary luxury, rural functionality and income potential. Completed in 2017 by renowned Benchmark Builders and thoughtfully designed by Atelier 41, the residence embraces minimalist architecture with warm natural materials, soaring ceilings and expansive walls of glass that dissolve the boundaries between indoors and out. Every room has been carefully orientated to capture the spectacular outlook, abundant natural light and cooling breezes that define this elevated ridgeline setting. The beautifully appointed main residence offers four generous bedrooms, multiple living zones, a dedicated home office and a stunning entertainer's kitchen complete with butler's pantry. Sliding doors open to expansive alfresco terraces where uninterrupted views become the backdrop for entertaining, relaxing beside the fire pit or simply watching the ever-changing landscape unfold. Complementing the main home is a beautifully designed two-bedroom secondary residence, connected by a double carport while maintaining complete independence through its own lawn and outdoor entertaining areas. Ideal for extended family, guest accommodation, a caretaker's residence or an additional income stream, it reflects the same refined architectural language as the primary home. Beyond the residences, the land is equally impressive. Currently operating as a productive cattle property with quality pasture divided into four paddocks, the farm features established cattle yards, undercover crush, loading ramp, stables, extensive shedding and supporting infrastructure. An original dairy offers exciting future potential for restoration, boutique accommodation or creative repurposing (STCA), while approved architectural plans for a swimming pool provide the next owner with the opportunity to further enhance this already exceptional estate. Whether you're seeking a luxury family retreat, productive farm, multigenerational property or prestigious rural escape, Stokers Ridge Farm delivers a calibre of lifestyle rarely available within the Northern Rivers. --------------- Agent's Notes Stokers Ridge Farm is one of those properties that rarely becomes available. Being offered to the market for the first time, it's immediately apparent this has been a home designed for long-term enjoyment rather than resale. Every decision, from the elevated homesite and architectural design through to the quality farming infrastructure, reflects thoughtful planning and genuine pride of ownership. While the homes deliver an exceptional level of luxury, the property is equally well suited to those wanting productive land without compromising on lifestyle. The gently undulating country is highly usable, with established grazing paddocks currently supporting approximately 25 in-calf cows, quality cattle handling facilities and infrastructure already in place for those looking to continue or expand farming operations. The flexibility of the second dwelling is another standout feature, lending itself perfectly to multigenerational living, visiting family, guest accommodation, a manager's residence or potential supplementary income (STCA). With architectural plans already prepared for a swimming pool and the original dairy presenting exciting future possibilities (STCA), there remains scope for a new owner to further enhance what is already an extraordinary holding. Properties offering this combination of architectural excellence, genuine privacy, productive farmland and such close proximity to the Tweed Valley's lifestyle attractions are incredibly difficult to replace. --------------- Location Perfectly positioned in the heart of the spectacular Tweed Valley, Stokers Ridge Farm offers the rare combination of complete seclusion without sacrificing convenience.
