20 minutes drive from the country town of Tenterfield in Northern NSW you will find The Hacienda, a magnificent and truly unique country estate. Bordered by National Park and encompassing so much natural diversity the property offers the discerning buyer a completely private and magical natural retreat.
The main house, built by the owner, who also built Cedar Springs, Paul Hogan’s old home in Possum Creek and the Beach Hotel in Byron Bay, pays homage to the owner’s love of the Spanish style of architecture. A central courtyard is surrounded by the buildings of the main residence on 3 sides. There is a main kitchen with walk-in pantry, a sitting area, and a large dining room with a round fireplace warming a sunken lounge area. There are also 2 bedrooms and a large bathroom in this wing as well as two powder rooms and a bar area off the dining room. A guest wing to the right of the courtyard comprises a self contained apartment and two separate en-suited bedrooms, all with open fireplaces. On the opposite side of the courtyard there is a 2 car garage, a games or multipurpose room, as well as a stable for 4 horses and 2 store rooms. The home is surrounded by ornamental exotic gardens (with palms, agaves, cacti rock gardens, and abundant natives) and a large established vegetable garden with underground irrigation throughout.
There are several dams on the property and a large lake with 2 additional guest cabins, one built over the water. There are endless trails through extensive sections of bushland with large rocky outcrops that take in the views of the surrounding landscape. There are sections of pine forest and a number of paddocks perfect for horses. This 650 acre, 2 title property has an abundance of wildlife including many species of birds, wallabies and kangaroos, koalas, goannas as well as a wonderful array of native flora. The property offers a myriad of possibilities or you can simply enjoy the property as it currently stands.
The Hacienda is on the market for $2.9 million and is a short helicopter ride from the coast or 3.5 hours drive from Byron Bay and 4 hours from Brisbane. There is also room in one of the large flat paddocks for a 500+ metre airstrip!
