50 Wallace Road, The Channon, NSW, 2480, Australia

If it’s a sensational swimming hole you’re looking for, this one is simply unsurpassable. Referred to by locals as “The Big Bend”, it describes Terania Creek’s widest swimming hole with rock ledges on one side, a wide straight stretch of deep water heading up-creek and falling away to whitewater rapids below. And 50 Wallace Road is not only the property owning the elevated side of “The Big Bend” but the fortunate one with views of it from the dwelling’s front verandah! Furthermore, there’s a gorgeous flat grassy paddock leading into the water for picnicking all year around. It’s the stuff of dreams!

But the dream doesn’t end there. This 35-acre gem is like a manicured parkland. From the dwelling you can admire your piece of paradise, look over a 3 km section of Terania Creek, and out to the Terania Valley with a panoramic backdrop of the everchanging hues of the mountainous Nightcap National Park. The land has rich volcanic soil throughout and is terraced for vehicles to be able to access all aspects of the farm – including the creek. Sound like a picture-postcard? It is! Throw in a gorgeous and perfectly renovated original farmhouse, mature examples of native and exotic trees, some paddocks of remnant rainforest and others fully cleared, AND a perfect new homesite for the next generation if you so desire...this offering is sensational.

The current owners have lovingly restored this entire property to once again be a showpiece in the sought-after hinterland area of The Channon. Only a stroll to the village itself, the dwelling is found at the end of a tree-lined asphalt driveway and sits on a ridgeline surrounded by flat land to enjoy easy maintenance of the home & surrounds, the multiple sheds, and the acres of beautiful tropical fruit and specimen trees. The home’s renovation was a ‘nothing spared’ project and includes a brand new fully insulated Colorbond roof, entirely new steel stumping, new wiring throughout, resurfacing of the original timber flooring, new interior linings, upgraded kitchen & bathroom, new front and back verandahs/decking/wide steps and a master retreat and a second living area. Freshly painted inside and out with a white colour palette, the ‘Queenslander’ style character country home is a delightful, comfortable and ‘move-in-ready’ residence. The immediate grounds are also picture-perfect with fruit trees galore and multiple raised garden beds loaded with food-crops and herbs to start your new sustainable lifestyle. Being frost-free there are tropical varieties for your indulgence.

With too many attributes to list, here are a few…although an inspection is a must. Call John on 0428 200 288 or Samara on 0429 806 288 for your private tour – but be quick!
