Over 74 Acres with River Frontage & DA Approval - A Rare Opportunity

Yes - this is the unicorn you've been searching for!

Set across 30.33 hectares (approx. 74.9 acres), this extraordinary property offers a truly unique combination of natural landscape, existing infrastructure, and exciting development potential. With 115 metres of stunning Clohesy River frontage, breathtaking vistas, and Development Approval in place for a Nature-Based Tourism venture with 4 additional cabins, the opportunities here are endless.

Once home to the off-grid wellness retreat, The Academy of Natural Living, the property remains untouched by chemicals for over 50 years - making it an ideal environment for organic farming or holistic health ventures. Scattered throughout the block are many many exotic fruit trees and four existing structures in varying condition, ready for restoration or repurposing.

Approximately 15 acres are securely fenced with vermin-proof wiring, making it suitable for livestock or protected growing areas.

While the river frontage sits across the quiet access road, it offers year-round, running water and a peaceful, secluded swimming spot - perfect for lazy summer days or meditation by the water. This same river is also the property's main water source.
