Nimbin’s local award-winning agent, Uri Ross, proudly presents 5311 Kyogle Road, Cawongla. Built in the late 1800’s, it’s said this home was the original school for the village of Cawongla. The three bedroom, one bath home sits nestled between two impressively sized camphor laurel trees, providing green views from the home. In line with the era of the build, the home is largely a timber construction with beautiful high ceilings and two fireplaces. The home is fitted with solar hot water and connected to mains power and completely functional as is though there is great renovation potential in this old charmer, fresh exterior paint and some kitchen and bathroom updates would help it to shine brighter. The house is surrounded by 44 acres of mainly flat, slightly sloping grazing land in which there is six paddocks and two dams. There is cattle yards in place and an old hardwood frame bales which has renovation potential. The 44 acre section of this property hosts an amazing stretch of Leycester/Hanging Rock Creek frontage with multiple swimming holes. The main hole was used for the schools swimming carnival all those years ago and at the time of photography possessed that incredible green tinge. The additional 66 acres (approx) is located on the other side of Kyogle Road and has Oxbow Road frontage at its lower end and Kyogle Rd frontage on its upper end. This section also hosts a weir which supplies pristine drinking water to the house through a gravity fed system. The weir was built by locals many decades ago with the intention for it to provide the village with drinking water but the state government never approved the plan. For a rural property this land is conveniently located 15 minutes to Kyogle, 30 minutes to Lismore, just 1 minute to The Cawongla Store which serves as a general store and licensed cafe, 7 minutes to another general store Wadeville Woolies and 10 minutes to the well known swimming spot Hanging Rock Falls. This charming property is a piece of the local history and hosts convenience hard to come by in a rural setting. Call Uri today for more information.
