Overview
This rare waterfront property spans approximately 13.45 hectares (33.24 acres) of mixed bushland and native wetlands, making it ideal for those craving a private rural lifestyle connected to nature. With 340 metres of frontage on the Macleay River, the location invites outdoor enthusiasts to enjoy fishing, crabbing, kayaking, and boating amid tranquil natural surroundings.
At the heart of this serene setting lies a private, off-grid, two-storey Cape Cod style home constructed from western red cedar. Nestled behind native vegetation and set well back from the road, it offers a secluded retreat with stunning water views visible from nearly every room. The home features a country kitchen equipped with gas cooking and robust tile and blackbutt bench surfaces, while the living area extends gracefully to a welcoming verandah overlooking the river, perfect for relaxation.
The residence delivers comfort through a combination of a slow combustion woodfire, high ceilings with exposed timber beams, and rich rosewood, blackbutt, and cypress floorings that enhance the warm and inviting ambience. Practicality is addressed with a roomy bathroom complemented by a separate composting toilet, emphasizing off-grid living.
- Additional space for vehicles includes undercover parking and a 36 square metre workshop area with storeroom and laundry facilities.
- Storage needs are met by a 37.5 square metre shed plus two garden sheds.
- Water supply is plentiful and versatile, sourced from town supply, tanks and bore, supported by irrigation systems for established gardens.

Access to sealed roads ensures ease of travel, placing the property approximately 3 kilometres from Stuarts Point with local shops, cafes and amenities. The location offers a balance of rural tranquility and connectivity, situated within roughly an hour’s drive to the airports and major medical services in both Port Macquarie and Coffs Harbour, and close to regional centres like Macksville and Kempsey.
This property presents a unique opportunity for buyers seeking a peaceful, self-sufficient lifestyle on the water, appealing especially to those with a passion for outdoor recreation and natural surroundings.
