Near to the coastal villages of Wooli and Minnie Water with views to the Solitary Island Marine Park from the escarpment, a 25 minute drive to Grafton and 10 minutes to the new Pacific Highway, this huge holding of undisturbed freehold hinterland begs to be explored. Tracks traverse the contours and boundaries allowing access to the diverse and unique natural landscape (weather permitting). Approximately 30 acres (12.5ha) is dedicated to a Blackbutt timber plantation ready to harvest in 10-15 years and there are natural springs and seasonal creeks in several areas. There is dwelling entitlement, good, sealed road access and power is on the neighbouring property. Due to its natural significance the acreage has been selected for the Biodiversity Stewardship program where state funding has been allocated for conservation purposes (approx. $1,138,000). Yearly funding, in perpetuity is set up in Trust and exceeds $1,400,000. Funding covers maintenance of tracks, weed control, fire management and much more, the stewardship is on title and although the funding is set out for 20 years it runs in perpetuity.
