Nestled in the beautiful Monkerai hills, 20mins from the picturesque town of Dungog and 3hrs from Sydney is this versatile parcel of land comprises two expansive lots, one of approx. 718 acres, the other of 240 acres, delivering a substantial landholding of some 958 acres. With the parcels on separate titles, the opportunity exists for income return via sub-division STCA. The boundaries are fully fenced with post and wire, mostly in good order. With a mix of flat, gently undulating rising to steeper country, the acreage is approximately 50% cleared to grazing, the remainder stands of natural timber and native bush. With a carrying capacity of 70-90 head of cattle, the land is also suitable for horses and a variety of hobby farming and recreational pursuits. A seasonal creek and 9 spring-fed dams ensure an abundance of water for stock even in the harshest of times. Fire trails ideal for walking, horse riding or mountain bikes traverse the property which is also blessed with a wealth of native flora and fauna. A permaculture vegetable garden and 70 tree orchard irrigated from the large front dam will please those seeking a more self-sustainable lifestyle, while also delighting guests with home grown fresh fruit and vegetables.
The main home is a large Zincalum shed with wide, covered concrete patio. Offering comfortable living as is, the residence is perfect as weekend or temporary accommodation while building your dream home on any number of idyllic home sites that would maximise the stunning rural views.

While offering an excellent revenue stream if desired, the cabin would also make a perfect teenagers retreat or extended family accommodation.
