Situated along a wide stretch of the pristine Macleay River around 20 minutes from Crescent Head beach, this almost 160-acre property (approx. 63.92ha) presents multiple residences, improved paddocks, an 18-metre infinity pool and cabana, a full sized croquet lawn, and over 1km (approx) of river frontage.

"The property is totally unassuming from the main road, yet once on the property you'll begin to notice the rare offering in its appealing form and amenity. The long high-quality driveway, main dam near the house and spectacular river views plus river frontage, have strong market appeal," Annette Pinkerton told LUXURY LIST WEEKEND. 

"This is a trophy lifestyle property within the coastal fringe and features gas fired hydronic floor slab heating to bathrooms & study, a wood fireplace to the living room and an external open fireplace on the veranda. The vaulted ceilings with gable vents, ceiling fans, exposed recycled heavy timber trusses, the rammed earth walls and polished concrete make for a very sophisticated style that will provide comfort all year round and one that will never date!"

"It truly is a remarkable home for all.  It has to been seen to really appreciate how special and unique this trophy property is."

Known as EIEIO, the private, multi-generational haven sits at the end of a long, sealed driveway, which sweeps around the fish-stocked home dam and up to the primary residential compound where the main house captures the spectacular views over the river and beyond. 

The rammed earth construction, polished concrete floors and recycled timber beams allow the house to offer year-round luxuriously comfortable living through thoughtfully designed natural air flows and warming fireplaces.

Outdoor entertaining shines, from the wisteria covered outdoor dining area, to the wrap around verandahs; from the championship sized croquet lawn, to the renowned bass fishing in the river. Relax poolside and take in the views from the cabana or cool off in the visually-stunning infinity edge swimming pool. Or simply get lost in the spectacular mature garden.

The pastures themselves have been improved to high standards with well fenced paddocks, stock lanes, cattle yards and a plentiful supply of water for livestock.

The estate has been consciously designed to cater to all family generations and needs, with an additional smaller residence that mirrors the construction of the main house, a manager's cottage, separate guest accommodation and an additional barn ripe for a Hampton-style conversion. 

Just 20 minutes from Crescent Head beach and 45 to Port Macquarie Airport, potential airbnb or farmstay opportunities beckon. 

The Auction will be held on Monday 16 October 2023 at 5pm.
