397 BLACKMANS POINT ROAD, Port Macquarie

Riverside home on acreage close to town.

Large double home (built to accommodate 2 families) on 25 cleared acres at beautiful Blackmans Point. The property is situated across the road from the Hastings River, approximately 15 minutes from Port Macquarie by tarred road. The house includes 5 bedrooms with built-ins, 2 bathrooms, 2 separate toilets (plus an extra shower & toilet in laundry), 2 kitchen/dining areas and 2 lounge areas with quality carpet throughout. There is ducted reverse-cycle air conditioning down both ends, LPG outlets should you prefer gas, solar hot water and a 2 kilowatt solar power system to help you save on power bills. As the back of the house is north-facing, the winter sun keeps the the main kitchen/living area and the 2 covered verandahs very cosy. For your vehicles/boats there is a double garage with internal access, plus additional car sheds out in the yard. The grounds are extensive, with established gardens and fruit trees. There’s an abundance of bird life to delight the bird-lovers, a tennis court and still plenty of room left for the keen gardeners to make their own mark. This property could suit hobby farmers or retired farmers who have moved to the coast but still want to run a few cows. The farm is divided into 4 paddocks, has 4 dams and a machinery shed (7mx12m), plus other shedding, including a horse shelter. Here you can enjoy a country lifestyle while remaining close to Port Macquarie’s excellent medical, shopping and educational facilities. The setup is ideal for large families, or the smaller end of the house could be used for grandparents or your many visitors who’ll come to share the delights of the Port Macquarie district! Alternatively, you could rent out that part of the house to earn some extra income. For the keen fisherman there are sand-flats at the end of the road where you can pump for yabbies and catch whiting at low tide. Take your boat a short distance upstream to Dennis Bridge where jewfish lurk in the depths or, if you’re feeling lazy, just stroll across the road to catch bream or flathead for tea! For the kids there’s plenty of space to run around, room for pets and ponies, a school bus to the door and, within easy riding distance, the Cairncross forest has trails for horse or bike riding. If it’s just peace and quiet you’re after then Blackmans Point could also be for you. Settle back, enjoy the relaxed, semi-rural atmosphere and spend your days watching the boats and sea-eagles drifting by.
