520 Forest Road, Buckendoon NSW 2472

Positioned in a private enclave of the picturesque farming suburb of Buckendoon is this level property of more than 220 acres, offering plenty of options for those wanting to start their own working farm or farmers looking to expand on their cropping land. The property is currently growing tea trees and wheat; however, there are multiple other crops you could grow, from macadamias to sugarcane, as some of the neighbouring properties do.

+ 90ha of land with approximately 56ha already cultivated. There is 5.5ha of tea tree, 10ha of wheat in two separate paddocks, and a 20 ha paddock which was previously planted out with tea tree (which is starting to come back) and had been returning approximately $110,000 p/a pre-flood.

+ Mostly refurbished and off-grid manager’s house built on an over-engineered concrete slab with a stunning outlook across the property
+ Brand new kitchen with gas cooking, a dishwasher, stone benches and a breakfast bar

+ The spacious open-plan living and dining room has air-conditioning and gas heating, and flows out to the north-facing sunroom, meals area or home office
+ Three bedrooms, all generous in size, and the primary with a built-in wardrobe
+ There is a modern bathroom with a bathtub, separate shower and a separate toilet, plus an internal laundry with lots of bench space and storage

+ Ample covered car storage with a double lock-up garage with automatic doors, a four-car carport and a huge machinery shed 

+ Off-grid lifestyle with a large solar power system and battery, plus two wells and a large water tank
+ Located within an easy half-hour drive to both Lismore and Evans Head, while Ballina is 45 minutes away, and Byron Bay is just under an hour

The property was flood-affected in the 2022 rain event, but the owners have worked hard to bring it back to its former glory. An expansive cultivated farm in this area does not come up often, and it is only a few kilometres from the coast (as the crow flies), so you are also treated with sea breezes and occasionally the sound of the ocean. Call Katrina for your private inspection, as you will be purchasing something special here.
