293-295 Old Nelligen Road, Nelligen, NSW 2536

This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own a property that offers you space, tranquillity and a lifestyle that you have only ever dreamed of.

Nestled in the Benandarah State Forest and bordered by the river, "Sproxtons" is the very definition of a rural retreat with town convenience.

Meander 3km along the historic Old Nelligen Road and you first come across "Sproxtons" as it opens up into vast green pastures that roll up and down hills finishing at the unspoilt oasis that is Cyne Mallows Creek.

Cyne Mallows is far more than just a creek: with direct access for most smaller boat craft (larger ones at high tide too), that leads the majestic Clyde River of Nelligen and Batemans Bay. On this property, it would easily be 100m wide, so it has the feel of a large river rather than a creek. The smaller but still tidal Water Creek winds through the property and is home to plentiful wildlife.

Times spent here on the water with your family will be etched in your memories, from paddling your kayak to fishing off the banks to taking the ski boat out and more. Idle the days away under the shade of the trees lining the river bank and as you cosy up by the campfire in the evening, you'll hear the fish jumping in the quiet.

The property can hold up to 30 head of cattle and all the paddocks have dams or automatic water troughs that make looking after the herd a reasonably simple task. There is also a bore that operates which also makes life a little easier when the dry summers come around.

There are four houses on the property that offer many opportunities to generate revenue or accommodate the family that keeps on growing and who will all want to holiday here endlessly.

The main homestead has four great bedrooms, the master has its own retreat area and access to the bathroom. North-facing living areas, two bathrooms and a large country-style kitchen with eastern windows and lush views of the two magnificent English oaks, along with a double garage, outdoor entertaining area and small wood and tool shed.

Built in the 80's it is in original condition and can be kept functional this way or is ready for your renovation touch.

Biddie's cottage is a freestanding one-bedroom boutique cottage with incredible water views, a kitchenette and a gorgeous bathroom. Rich in history and constructed from timber milled from the property it is set up as a lucrative Airbnb. It has a fully fenced yard and has been very popular with guests travelling with pets, opening up more rental options. Bookings are in place for Christmas and January so enjoy the extra income or use it as fully set up family accommodation. It is located far away from the main houses and has its own driveway to give guests their privacy.

The second home is a creek-side cottage with a carport and a 6 x 6-metre shed. Near new in presentation (built-in 2020), this delightful one-bedroom home was built for the long term and has a brilliant full kitchen, delightfully modern bathroom, nice living space and a deck that you can sit on to enjoy the incredible view of the creek as it flows in and out.

Completely off-grid, with a backup generator that kicks in if the batteries get low, it is a green home without compromise. An architecturally designed 3 bedroom home is also approved to be built on the same site and can access main power if desired.

The fourth home is a one-bedroom freestanding property located far away from the other residences and has a large shed and fenced yard. Currently tenanted with a brilliant tenant who would love to stay on if required. As it is a working farm, all the need to have shedding is here with steel cattle yards, race and crush and multibay shedding with power and water to it. Everything is there for you to start up your hobby farm, agricultural business or to just tinker.

This property is all about the lifestyle: currently agisting cattle and set up for 2 Airbnbs and one permanent rental you can let it autonomously generate income while you enjoy weekends of fun in the peaceful bush whilst still being able to pop into town for a latte. Being surrounded by state forest and the Cyne Mallows on two sides means you won't be built out but should you choose "Sproxtons" as your new home you will join a close-knit community of neighbours who all value privacy but are always ready to help out if needed.

Having a mostly cleared and fully fenced 50 hectares of improved pastures allows you the luxury to do what you like: run a hobby farm or set up a glamping retreat, ride dirt bikes or horses in the bush trails, grow your own food in the fertile soil, or have as many animals as you like. The choice is yours.

Striking mountain sunsets and sparkling river views on a manageable size farm are only the beginning of the multitude of assets this property has to offer and an inspection is the only way to truly appreciate just how special it is.
