A rare opportunity presents itself here with (approx) 140 acres of great Aussie bush along with a decent camp set up for nature lovers. The current owner is in the final stages of registering the majority of block with the Biodiversity Conservation Trust. See the map in the photo section of this listing for an indication of conservation areas (not to be cleared, logged or used for pasture) as compared to the non conservation areas. The current owner has built a semi enclosed colourbond shed on concrete slab complete with toilet and shower. Also part of the package deal is a removable cabin with toilet, 1 bedroom, 3 bunks, shower (not connected to water) and kitchen - all run by a 3kw stand alone solar system. There are two rainwater water tanks at this site (18900 litre and 7500 litre) plus another smaller tank on the other non conservation site which also boasts a shade shelter. Featuring patches of cleared land, a creek line and a ridge line, this allotment is the real deal when it comes to rural lifestyle. As you will see from the map on this page, Clearview Road splits the block in two with the start of the block on the northern side. The eastern and western sides of the block feature amphitheatre-like ridgelines. The eastern side of the block features Koukandowie Creek and a small and overgrown dam and near the road on the southern side. Most of the ridgelines immediately East and West of this block are part of the Koukandowie Nature Reserve (administered by National Parks and Wildlife) - hundreds of acres of preserved nature. Location wise, this block is approximately 10 minutes drive to Coutts Crossing - about 5km off Armidale Road with about 4km of dirt road leading to the site. The distance from the nearest mains power source would most likely make connecting to the mains unviable at this site. But with the price of renewable power options continually showing better value - this is far less of an impediment these days. Legalities: technically - the property has a dwelling entitlement because it is zoned RU2 and is larger than 100 acres. However, as the property does not front a council-maintained road, council is likely to refuse a DA for a dwelling unless the road was upgraded and handed over to council for maintenance. There is approximately 2km of non council-maintained road here - making the prospect of an upgrade cost prohibitive. There is a genuine scarcity of properties such as this on the market so please act quickly to secure this enticing parcel. Call Terry today.
