So, water is everything right! With water you can grow and survive – well this is one of the few properties you will find around here that have bore! Yes, endless water!
You see this property was also a home nursery for many years, so the bore was put in, two dams and three water tanks plus there's a little creek jotting through the back corner that provides even more water for your stock.
Now, one of the most special aspects to this property is its location! It's in the highly sort after suburb of Sherwood, only 15 minutes from Kempsey and tucked away very privately at the end of a little unknown lane, Lindon Lane.
There are only three properties on little Lindon Lane and the homes are all well placed away from each other, but this being the last one makes it all so much more peaceful and private.
To be able to leave work and get home and get your farm bliss within 15 minutes is the best of both worlds. And it is tar road all the way, except the 440m of Lindon Lane which is solid road base – yes, it's all-weather/all-vehicle access.
The land is what I call easy, easy because there's nothing steep, it is the perfect slight gentle fall from front to back – that's better than dead flat because water will drain slowly off and not sit and sit, and cause a ridiculously boggy yard and paddocks. The land is perfect for all hobby farm activities and with good stands of hardwood, you will have plenty for your fireplace, some for fencing needs and even some for a few extra dollars selling firewood.
Built and owned by the same family for 41 years – yes it is very 80's but under the carpet is a solid concrete slab and most of the internal walls are plaster (just faux-wood paneling on some walls in bedrooms 3 & 4 which I think looks great painted or, you can easily remove and plaster – indeed there is a plasterer who lives just around the corner). Even the bathroom floor is a concrete slab so it's super easy and cheaper to renovate.
Now, while I'm on the subject of bathrooms – there's one in the house, a shower/bathtub in the laundry (which is in the rear of the garage) and a shower, toilet block in the backyard (that's because the were many parties here over the years and friends and family would all arrive and camp out in their caravans for days, so a few more bathroom options were put in place!
Also, the ever-important point of garaging and workshop space. The brick building to the right of the home was originally: two garages + workshop. However, look closely at photos and you will see that the roller door was simply taken off and the entrance sealed off with a basic wall. So, it will be easy to return this bay back into a garage if needed.
