518 Maria River Road Crescent Head NSW 2440

A Once-in-a-Generation Coastal Rural Holding (With a House That's Seen a Few Things)
Opportunities of this scale, quality and location near Crescent Head are extraordinarily rare - and 518 Maria River Road is one of them. This is the kind of property people talk about years after it's sold… usually starting with "Remember that big block near the surf?"
Just five minutes from one of NSW's best surf breaks, this expansive rural holding delivers a combination almost never seen: sheer size, tar road access, creek frontage, subdivision potential (STCA) and an existing dwelling - all within minutes of the coast.
The property already enjoys sealed road access, with further tarring scheduled from 2026 through to Port Macquarie, improving connectivity and long-term value. Power runs through the land, and the long road frontage - with the road naturally dividing the holding - provides genuine future flexibility for those thinking big (or thinking ahead).
Under the Kempsey Shire Council LEP, the land is recognised as being sub-dividable into minimum 40-hectare allotments (STCA) - making this an exceptional land-banking, lifestyle or generational investment.
The Land (This Is Where Things Get Serious).
Majestic old Paperbarks fringe natural lagoons, native Casuarinas sweep across the landscape, and an established Tea Tree plantation adds both beauty and income potential - whether through harvesting or producing your own honey (because why not?).
With direct frontage to Connection Creek, the lifestyle here is next level. From your own boundary, you can travel by water all the way to Port Macquarie, dropping mud crab traps and fishing as you go - a coastal-river experience few properties can genuinely claim.
The House (Honest, Solid… and Ready for a Glow-Up)
The existing three-bedroom, one-bathroom home is liveable but clearly ready for renovation. It's not pretending to be anything it's not - an honest structure waiting for someone with vision, tools and a weekend plan (or twelve) to bring it back to life.
It comes equipped with power, septic system and two water tanks, making it a practical base while future plans are explored.
A 12m x 7m powered Colourbond shed adds excellent functionality for storage, workshops or farm use - and may temporarily become your favourite building on the property.
This is not just land - it's a legacy holding. A place of scale, beauty and possibility, positioned minutes from world-class surf, pristine beaches and the Crescent Head village lifestyle.
Properties like this don't come along often… and when they do, they don't hang around.
