Platypus Paradise: This 130ha Mid North Coast River Estate Delivers What Most Only Promise

Rural Sanctuary For Sale NSW Offers 1.5km Of Pristine River Frontage

When was the last time you saw a platypus from your kitchen window? At 1024 Pappinbarra Road, Pappinbarra it’s most weeks. This isn’t carefully curated marketing speak – it’s Tuesday morning reality for the current owners, who are now ready to pass this 130-hectare Pappinbarra River sanctuary to someone who’ll appreciate what they’ve built.

With the kids heading off to university, the owners are ready to downsize and travel, leaving behind an extraordinary property that genuinely lives up to its promises.

This rural property for sale NSW boasts approximately 1.5km of pristine river frontage 

Around 1.5km of pristine river frontage delivers regular platypus sightings, turtles sunbaking on logs, bass quietly navigating crystal-clear waters, and birdlife that keeps you transfixed.

Who needs a pool when you have multiple river access points – safe paddling areas for young children through to deeper swimming holes for serious swimmers? The water really is that clear. You’ll see turtles and fish underwater from the bank.

Don’t take our word for it – five-star camping guest reviews confirm the water quality and wildlife are genuinely exceptional.

This 130-hectare property is one you need to experience to understand. After years here, the current owners can confirm: every promise it makes, it delivers.

Proven Income, Not Just Potential
Here’s where it gets interesting: this property already generates income. An established HipCamp camping business with documented bookings and five-star reviews proves the agritourism market is real, not theoretical.

Add cattle grazing on 80+ hectares of quality pasture (kikuyu, clover, setaria), and you’re looking at dual income streams from day one. The land suits cattle, sheep, or horses – whatever your vision requires.

This rural property for sale NSW benefits from secure water with a 16-megalitre irrigation licence, five dams and high rainfall

Water security? Genuinely solved. A 16-megalitre irrigation licence, 1.5km permanent river frontage, five dams and 2,039mm average rainfall mean you’re not hoping for rain – you’re managing abundance.

Troughs in the paddocks, 135,000 litres of household storage, and that permanent river flow deliver the kind of security most rural properties can only dream about.

This rural property for sale NSW is equipped with extensive infrastructure including cattle yards and multiple sheds

Infrastructure is already in place: steel cattle yards with covered crush, multiple sheds, three-phase power, solar systems throughout, sealed road access to the house, established flower and vegetable gardens, mature fruit and nut trees. Whether you want to farm seriously, host guests, or simply live well, the hard work’s been done.

Dual Living, Designed Right
The six-bedroom, two-bathroom homestead proves that dual living can actually work. The ground floor is fully self-contained: two large bedrooms, bathroom, living area, kitchenette. Perfect for extended family, guest accommodation, or generating additional income.

The home on this rural property for sale NSW features three living areas flowing through to a kitchen with river views

Upstairs is your private sanctuary. Three double bedrooms, three living areas flowing through to a kitchen where you’ll cook with river views from the windows. Step outside to the main deck overlooking the river for morning coffee or evening meals.

Additionally, the master suite delivers: metres of walk-in wardrobes, spa bath for relaxing and a private balcony where you’ll spend evenings watching the river valley below and spectacular sunsets above.

For the kids, the school bus passes the property. Beechwood Primary is 10 minutes away. Beechwood has a café, post office and a pub that has won ‘Best Country Pub of the Year’. You’re removed from the world, certainly, but you’re far from isolated.
