975 Green Pigeon Road, Green Pigeon Via Kyogle NSW 2474

Sitting in pride of place and overlooking the historical village of Green Pigeon this 'pretty as a picture' 167 acre, fully off-grid holding has been lovingly tended, regenerated and nurtured by current owners for almost 25 years.

But with change comes opportunity and this one is not to be missed! An elevated holding with frontage to the crystal waters of Fawcetts Creek as well as Johnsons Creek (a tributary) meandering through the western paddocks you are in the best position for the elements be it flood or drought!

With the sweetest three bedroom, white farmhouse perched in perfect position on the hilltop for 360 degree views capturing the surrounding Border Ranges which are part of the world heritage listed Gondwana Rainforests (popular for eco tourism) and include distant waterfalls cascading down into Fawcetts Basin.

Fenced into 6 paddocks, all with water for stock, the soil types range from basalt clay soil to alluvial creek flats for ideal rotation of stock and also small scale crop production.

The original 1920's Queenslander home was relocated in 2015 and at that time the roof, plumbing and wiring were all newly updated. With only cosmetics of painting left to do to bring the exterior to its former glory. Inside features Hoop Pine flooring throughout, high ceilings and VJ timber internal walls the home also has the bonus of two sunrooms/enclosed verandahs currently used as his and hers studies. The country kitchen features gas cooking and also a wood stove which heats the home and also backs up the solar hot water if required.

The property is fully off grid, with 3.75KW solar and 48v tubular gel battery storage. Attached to the home and perfect for either storage or an extension of the current floorplan are 2 x 40ft containers on steel footings, separate to that is another container-constructed workshop with roof awning currently used for storage.

In addition to this is a 6 x 12 machinery shed, cattle yards, plenty of water storage with 4 x 22,000 ltr tanks, 3 dams (one spring fed) plus a well which gravity feeds to irrigate the creek paddock in which current owners have successfully grown garlic for many years. There is also a mature orchard and raised vegetable garden beds.

The history of the property is cattle production and current owners run a conservative 30 breeders with calves very comfortably on around on 70% of the acreage. The remaining 30% dedicated to regeneration, with untouched rainforest pockets, mature re-vegetation along the creeks and a mature Hoop Pine forest offering shade and shelter for both cattle and wildlife.

The village of Green Pigeon, although small in population is big on heart and there is a strong and supportive local community to become a part of with many social gatherings, a local hall, and even produce swaps.

Finding balance between agriculture, regeneration and preservation is rare. The many years of hard work put into this property to bring back the species and habitat from years gone by is evident. Enjoy a breathtaking wonderland as you tour the gently undulating grazing land and explore the forested gullies, rocky creek banks, palms & tree ferns, and gaze up to the stag horns perched on towering rainforest species and you will see that it really is possible to have it all!

This property is located under 20 minutes to the country town of Kyogle, with school bus past the front gate and within a 2.5hrs drive to Brisbane or Gold Coast for domestic and international airports. The property also has high speed fixed wireless broadband internet and reliable mobile coverage to keep in touch with the world from home.
