'THE PENINSULA'

Cropping - Carrs Peninsula NSW

‘THE PENINSULA’
Bounded by the mighty Clarence River and the beautiful Carrs Creek, ‘The Peninsula’ is a highly productive, incredibly homely, superbly located, and all-round exceptional farm.
This is an opportunity to secure not only a once-in-a-lifetime property located just minutes from the CBD, but to step right in to a fully-operational enterprise on a Walk-In Walk-Out basis.

WIWO INCLUSIONS
Included in the sale is a full herd of the vendor’s family-bred composite cattle with a very long history of selective breeding.
There is a substantial farm shed, and a 24ML irrigation licence which will be transferred with the sale, and all farming equipment, such as the 200m Monsoon retractable irrigator, steel stockyards with vet crush and weigh scales, Nissan Patrol Ute, tractor and all implements, are listed as Inclusions in the sale. Further details available to genuine purchasers.

THE HOMESTEAD
The home and surrounding gardens would be perfectly placed on the front page of a Country Style magazine. Word-of-mouth historical recounts indicate that this farm was the first to be settled around the Grafton area. And there’s no questioning why they chose this as ‘the spot’. The existing homestead was constructed in the 1920’s, apparently using recycled timber from previous residences on the property. The gorgeous old home has had a lot of care, restoration and renovation over more recent years, with modern amenities making this a very ‘easy to live in’ home.
The home has three main bedrooms, two bathrooms, and multiple living areas; each nook with its own quirky, charming or appealing feature taking in the old world ambience. Glossy wide polished floorboards, ornate ceilings, wide verandahs and the beautiful surrounds make this a charming and eloquent country homestead. The modern kitchen and dining area overlooks Carrs Creek and the iconic Peters Icecream Factory, with glass louvers taking full advantage of the panoramic views. The outdoor entertaining area is a real hit of an afternoon as the cattle come to graze out front.

THE PROPERTY
Heavy alluvial soils and well-established Kikuyu pastures are a real feature of this farm. The vendors have consistently fertilised and mulched the paddocks and run the farm on a rotational grazing basis.
The property will comfortably carry a cow and calf+ to the acre, with a history of running 100 breeders plus their progeny. There are 122 cows + 104 weaners included in the WIWO sale contract. The owner has had the additional cows running on a lease block, and would like to provide the purchaser with the option of choosing which cattle to keep or sell.
SITUATION
‘The Peninsula’ has an excellent position, located just 10km from the CBD of Grafton. The drive from the farm to work or the kids’ sports is highly convenient, and there is a local bakery, hotel, service station and store just 5km from your front door.

THE WATER
The Clarence River requires little introduction; whether it be fishing, kayaking, skiing or swimming, there is great access to the river in a number of places, and the same goes for Carrs Creek. The Peninsula would make a superb horse stud, with plenty of room for a training track and access to swim horses in the river.
Town water is connected to the home and also reticulated to stock troughs in the paddocks, along with the permanent creek and river frontage. Secure water is a real feature of this property.

In the words of our vendors, who moved to the area from the New England farming region, “We’ve had 16 fantastic years here, looking over our paddocks of fat cattle, the beautiful creek and river, and enjoying a wonderful lifestyle.”

The vendors would look favourably upon the option to rent-back the house for a short period of time following settlement.
