363 Middle Pocket Road Middle Pocket NSW 2483

This is more than a lifestyle hobby farm property — it’s a chance to be part of something bigger. Nestled in the lush Middle Pocket valley, this is an opportunity to purchase one of Australia’s most inspiring conservation properties.

Across fertile pastures, rainforest corridors, and clear creeks, the land balances lifestyle and legacy. Almost half (24.8ha) is protected under a conservation covenant with the NSW Biodiversity Conservation Trust, ensuring old-growth bushland and native habitats thrive for generations. Botanical and fauna surveys confirm extraordinary biodiversity, from endangered Hairy Quandong to more than 100 bird species. Request the 8 documents to review.

Two renovated homes — a 2-bedroom cottage with sleepout is on (1.86ha) 5 acres on one side of the road. The larger 4-bedroom residence original farmhouse is on the other. Both are currently income-producing through permanent rentals.

The balance of the land (approx. 23ha) are flats for the infrastructure and a small grazing herd.

Fabulous place for children to grow up. So much to explore of bushland and wildlife and the creek with swimming holes. Have a pony or two. All within easy reach of surfing and the coast at Ocean Shores and on to Byron Bay.

Expressions of Interest are requested as there are several options to be considered.

One Option is a half share with purchase of the balance over time; another is group purchase for keen conservationists; or sale of the whole property immediately.

Flexibility could include continuing as an absentee conservation investor; living in one home, or discussing full use of both; income production.

A former dairy building (partially renovated), the hobby farming paddocks, and the small cattle herd add further versatility.

Practical infrastructure includes permanent water supply, cattle yards, irrigation licence, and farm equipment.

Located 35 minutes from Gold Coast Airport, 30 minutes to Byron Bay, and under 2 hours to Brisbane, this property offers a rare blend of ecology, lifestyle, and accessibility.
