949 Tipperary Road, Tipperary Via, Gloucester NSW 2422

Nestled in the privacy of rolling green hills at Tipperary, just 28kms from the A1 Motorway at Nabiac, you will find classic elegance at Saint Martin's, a fully re-imagined country homestead commanding superb views over approx. 59.6ha (147ac) of productive grazing land. Perfectly positioned between the stunning beaches of Forster and Barrington Tops National Park, the southern anchor of the Gondwana Rainforests of Australia World Heritage Area.

Saint Martin's has been extensively re-built to the highest standards of design & workmanship, while respecting its farmhouse origins. The home showcases original features such as wide wrap-around verandahs and carefully considered upgrades throughout, promoting relaxed country living surrounded by beautiful cottage gardens, multiple alfresco areas and a grove of establishing fruit trees.

Set back from the home, a large shed provides ample drive-through workshop & car parking space, plus a covered alfresco entertaining area. A well set-up home office, or 2 bedroom tiny-home with kitchen & bathroom, provides practical accommodation and guest overflow space.

The land itself is equally impressive, comprising a working farm with predominantly cleared hills & gullies with shade trees, well designed paddocks with quality fencing, water security & accessibility, significant pasture improvement, and a small pocket of ridge-top bushland.

A former dairy provides adaptable space with multiple potential uses, including conversion to guest accommodation (STCA). The dairy is easily accessible via a separate gate from Tipperary Road, adjacent to stock yards and Firefly Creek.
