Overview

The property known as ‘Hillview’ encompasses a vast 100-hectare block with direct access from the Oxley Highway. Originally, this area was predominantly rainforest, which was cleared approximately 100 years ago. The terrain is undulating towards the highway, with steeper sections located to the south. The entirety of the cleared land is suitable for tractor work, benefiting from the natural fertility of the soil, which has been further enhanced by a consistent fertilizer application over the past 20 years. This property has established a strong reputation for producing high-quality cattle.

Of the total 100 hectares:

• 66 hectares are cleared pasture.
• 34 hectares consist of forest, primarily existing and regenerating rainforest.

Additional features of Hillview include:

• A carrying capacity of 50 cows and calves.
• Five spring-fed dams, along with other seasonal dams and creek waterholes.
• A magnificent elevated house site offering stunning views of the Hastings Valley.
• Access to the Oxley Highway via two alternative driveways.
• Mobile phone coverage and NBN fixed wireless internet availability.

Hillview is conveniently located:

• 4 minutes drive to the Ellenborough Reserve at the junction of the Hastings and Ellenborough Rivers.
• 6 minutes drive to the township of Long Flat, which features a local primary school, shop, and pub.
• 35 minutes drive to the market town of Wauchope.
• 50 minutes drive to the tourist center of Port Macquarie, and 45 minutes to the Port Macquarie Base Hospital.

The existing cow and calf enterprise could be expanded with further development of the property. Alternatively, a less intensive operation could involve the growing out of bullocks, as has traditionally been done on the neighboring property to the west.

Currently, the property lacks stock handling facilities; however, an agreement can be made to continue using the cattle yards located on the adjacent property to the east for an extended period, if necessary.

Historically, there was a dwelling on Hillview, and the property retains a dwelling entitlement.

Hillview represents an ideal lifestyle property, with the cleared pasture allowing a future owner to generate supplementary income through livestock production.
