A Rural Retreat With Endless Possibilities and Just Minutes From The Beach
Escape to your own private oasis at 284 The Pocket Road. Set on an elevated, north-east facing allotment, the approx. 4.5 acre property offers breathtaking views and an abundance of space. With potentially 4 separate living quarters, there is huge potential here for harmonious extended family arrangements or for the ability to live in one part of the property and derive a solid income from the others. The versatility is fantastic!
The features of this property seem endless. It's council approved for dual occupancy with the original dairy bails at the front of the allotment tastefully converted to a studio with an open plan kitchen/lounge/dining space, separate bedroom, bathroom and laundry and a covered patio. This space is currently rented for $500/week.
Adjacent to the studio is a huge 15m x 9.5m shed with services and plenty of room for your toys, multiple vehicles, motorhome, workshop space etc. At the rear is a further covered carport/storage area. A 6.6kW solar system that services the property and is located on the shed roof, perfectly positioned to capture sun all day.
Make your way up the driveway and you'll find the main residence. Built in 1980, the substantial brick home boasts stunning hardwood floors, high ceilings and timber wall paneling. Separate lounge and dining spaces sit either side of a central wood fire heater, ready to keep you cool on the chilly winter nights. The country style kitchen features an eat in bench seat and table whilst the 3 bedrooms are generous in size with an ensuite off the main. 2 of the bedrooms open onto the covered verandah with multiple spots to sit with a commanding view and take in the morning sun with a coffee.
A large rumpus room with it's own separate entry, bathroom, sink & bench is the ideal guest accommodation. Previously also used for hosting Airbnb guests, this expansive room opens out to a covered patio that provides the perfect space for entertaining guests whilst looking out over the beautifully maintained gardens and grounds.
At the rear of the home is a recent, fully council approved addition featuring a bedroom, second bedroom/study, a self contained living area with polished concrete floors and a bathroom/laundry. This section of the home also has it's own entry and would perfectly suit guest accommodation or act as a rentable space providing further income. A 3 bay carport sits adjacent at the top of the driveway.
The block is unique in that is has 2 street frontages, one to The Pocket Road and the other to Middle Pocket Road. A paddock on The Pocket Road side is currently agisted and boasts a well providing endless water. A further 17,000 gallons of water can be held in tanks on the property. The section fronting Middle Pocket Road is north facing and perfect for veggie gardens or an orchard and may have subdivision potential into the future STCA if planning instruments change to accommodate the areas need to provide more housing options.
The location itself is superb. You get all of the country living benefits whilst being just over 10 minutes from the beautiful beaches of New Brighton and South Golden Beach, 15 minutes from Brunswick Heads, 25 minutes from Byron bay and just 35 minutes away from Gold Coast International Airport.
