New England Eastern Fall - A Special Place to Live

This is a pristine grazing property with a stunning family home, architecturally designed and situated in a private location on the Armidale district's eastern fall. Not only is this property productive, but it has exceptional access to many forestry and National Park assets in the ranges to the east of Armidale.<br/>Situated approx 60km east of Armidale, 90 km to Dorrigo and 160km to Coffs Harbour.<br/>This is very attractive, undulating to hilly open grazing country with a section of steeper timbered country comprising magnificent towering trees. Soil types are mainly red clay loams with basalt origins and are ideal for improved pastures. Although there has been no recent pasture improvement program, there is a significant amount of remnant introduced pasture species remaining in the open grazing country. <br/>A beautiful running stream and multiple springs flow through the property providing stock water to many paddocks. The area is renowned for its high rainfall with a nearby weather station long term average of 941mm pa.<br/>The homestead is an ideal family home, comprising 6 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms with generous living and entertaining space. Features are too many to mention and must be viewed for a full appreciation of the level of thought and design that has been engaged in the construction. You will be impressed by the solar passive features of the home, the clerestory windows, the 3.5m ceilings, the extensive use of Australian hardwoods throughout and the vistas from just about every room in the house from its elevated northerly position. This is a special home by any standard.<br/>Other improvements include a fully enclosed machinery shed, a set of cattle yards with vet crush and loading ramp and approx 21 fenced paddocks. There is approx 9km of fencing that has been replaced in recent years.<br/>The property has been home for the vendors since 1994. They have loved their balanced lifestyle of living on the farm remotely and through commuting, continuing their other work commitments elsewhere. They really value the privacy of the location and the connection to the landscape. <br/>As agents, we consider this a rare opportunity to live a lifestyle unencumbered by the clutter of modern life, while being in close proximity to regional centres such as Armidale, Coffs Harbour and the coast. Education, healthcare and airports are a huge part of what these two regional centres offer, and they are very accessible from this location. This is an exceptional property on many fronts and must be inspected to be appreciated.<br/>
