Ray White Rural Murwillumbah agent Brad Franks is marketing the rural lifestyle property at 186 Palmer Road, Tarragon, known as ‘Tree Haven’.

The property is set to go under the hammer on 25 November.

Mr Franks said he was immediately impressed by the biodiversity of the land having been involved in Land for Wildlife, a voluntary conservation program that supports landholders in protecting and restoring native habitats on their private properties.

He said the property benefits from excellent water security, with water flowing directly from the World Heritage-listed Wollumbin National Park.

Owner Grant Scott has owned the 101.2 hectare property for four years and has made the decision to sell.

Mr Scott said the property was one of the region’s most special land holdings.

"It's a truly unique block of land - very large, backing onto national park, in one of the quietest parts of the world," Mr Scott said.

For Mr Scott, his partner, and their three children aged 10, 3, and a newborn - Tree Haven has been a place of wonder and discovery.

"The older kids love fossicking for rocks, and just being out in the wild," Mr Scott said.

"My 10-year-old particularly loves it. There's nothing quite like it."

Mr Scott said when on the property he enjoyed its natural beauty and wildlife.

"The lyrebirds come by in the morning and the little wrens come out in the afternoon," he said.

He said there was a four-bedroom home on site which was around 70 years old and in need of a renovation.

Mr Scott revealed his decision to sell did not come easily.

The family had initially intended to relocate permanently to the property, but life had other plans.

"We've moved north of Brisbane, and with three kids now, our lifestyle changed," Mr Scott said.

"It became trickier to get there as often as we'd like, and with a newborn, it was becoming a bit much to maintain properly.”

We think of the property as a legacy block, Mr Scott said.

“It needs someone who can preserve it for the future. The previous custodian did incredible work regenerating it, getting rid of weeds and maintaining it.

“It really needs someone with time - perhaps a family with older kids or extended family members who can help out.”

He said swimming in the creeks, and walking old tracks and pathways was a big hit with his family.

“Being able to look straight up at Mount Warning, surrounded by mountains is pretty incredible,” Mr Scott said.
