OAKLAND HOUSE - A RIVERFRONT LEGACY WITH TIMELESS CHARM

Steeped in rich local history and nestled peacefully on the banks of the Richmond River, Oakland House stands as one of Coraki's most captivating original heritage homesteads. Originally settled by William Yeager in 1865, the property once thrived as a vibrant boat-building and milling hub-today, it remains a serene riverside retreat blending character, comfort, and lifestyle in perfect harmony.

Set across 1.38 hectares of beautifully landscaped grounds, Oakland House captures the essence of relaxed riverside living. Enjoy open lawns, a tennis court, croquet pitch, and sparkling pool-all framed by mature gardens, breezy verandahs, and sweeping northerly views. With deep water frontage, direct river access, and a peaceful sense of privacy, it's a haven for boating enthusiasts, entertainers, and nature lovers alike.

Inside, the spacious residence-constructed from the finest materials salvaged from the original 1882 Victorian mansion-offers warmth and sophistication. A large chef's kitchen fitted with premium Miele appliances opens to tranquil garden ponds and entertaining spaces, while the generous living and dining rooms flow seamlessly to wide verandahs perfect for morning coffee or sunset gatherings.

The home features four large bedrooms, a fifth bedroom or retreat upstairs, an office, two bathrooms (including ensuite), polished timber floors, solar power, and modern comforts throughout. Some exquisite original 1884 cedar furnishings still grace the home, a gentle nod to its heritage.

The grounds are rich in life and history-complete with citrus orchards, an original brick water tank and fountain, and thriving native plantings that attract koalas, tawny frogmouths, and water dragons. Despite its close connection to the river, Oakland House has only experienced one minor internal flood in over 150 years and remains fully insurable.

Located just moments from Coraki's friendly township-with its shops, cafés, schools, and riverside park-and within easy reach of Evans Head (15 mins), Lismore and Casino (20 mins), and Ballina or the M1 (35 mins), Oakland House combines rural tranquility with modern convenience.
