Overview

45 Moffits Lane (and adjoining allotments), Bora Ridge NSW

This expansive rural property spans over 147 hectares (approximately 363.823 acres) of tranquil Northern Rivers countryside, offering a unique combination of lifestyle, productivity, and potential. Located just minutes from Coraki and Woodburn, it invites you to embrace the peaceful rhythm of country living.

The property is ideal for a variety of rural pursuits including cattle grazing across multiple paddocks, tending to an established tea tree plantation, restoring the charming homestead and old dairy, fishing in the nearby river, or simply enjoying the vast open space that acreage living provides.

The land is well-equipped with established fencing, reliable water access including a windmill pump and creek pump house servicing the house and paddocks, and solid shedding to support current farming operations. It features frontage to Bungawalbin Creek and infrastructure already in place, currently operating as a mixed agricultural holding with excellent scope to enhance, expand, or transform into a personal rural retreat.

On the market for the first time in many years, this rare farm opportunity includes 8 lots with a total area of 147.234 hectares. The topography is largely level with some raised areas, and the property offers flexible land use options such as agricultural production, livestock expansion, or a lifestyle/hobby farm with potential for a secondary dwelling entitlement subject to council approval.

The homestead is a double-level residence featuring 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, complemented by a wrap-around balcony that captures stunning views of the property, surrounding ranges, and spectacular sunrises and sunsets. The master bedroom includes built-in cupboards and a sunroom that could be converted into a walk-in robe, ensuite, or fourth bedroom. The main bathroom has been recently updated, with a second bathroom located off the kitchen area.

The kitchen retains a farmhouse original sink, high ceilings, a gas stove, and views over the paddocks, along with a walk-in pantry. The large living room boasts high ceilings and a separate study space. A covered wrap-around verandah on two sides overlooks the property, while the downstairs laundry and large under-house area are currently used as a kids' play and workout space.

Additional features include a recently built 2-bay shed near the home for storage, workshop, or vehicle parking, constructed solidly. Heritage features such as tongue and groove walls, hardwood flooring, high ceilings, and period details add character to the home, ready for new owners to update and personalize.

The property is positioned on elevated ground, typically safe during flood events. During the unprecedented 2022 flood, water rose to the second level floorboards, with full details available upon request.

Production and farming highlights include a mixed farming enterprise with tea trees and cattle agistment areas supported by fully fenced paddocks (cattle not included). The tea tree crop is managed by the owners, with harvest and processing conducted by local third-party contractors. A substantial 5-bay machinery shed houses plant and equipment, potentially available for purchase with a list available upon request. A contract and information memorandum outlining property and operational details can also be provided.

With a secondary dwelling entitlement subject to council approval, quality fencing, and a healthy tea tree plantation in place, the property offers flexibility for future lifestyle or agricultural expansion.
