All the ingredients to develop a low impact lifestyle

House - Stockyard Creek NSW

“Woodhall” is 40 hectares of mainly forested land with all the ingredients for developing a low impact lifestyle in the midst of the Northern NSW bush.

The Blackbutt forest provides a sustainable source of firewood and an endless supply of timber for building projects. The partly cleared eastern area of Forest Red Gum, Angophora, Wattle and Banksia species will sustain some grazing, and the creek flat is ideal for a range of horticultural or silvicultural pursuits.

Whiteman Creek, a tributary of the Clarence River, forms the Eastern boundary and features platypus and good fishing.

A combined wetland with the neighbouring property on the southern side has been identified as having conservation value. Local species include Koalas, Quolls, Powerful Owls, as well rarer ones such as the Narrow-leaved Angophora, and Glossy Black Cockatoos.

There is an owner-built, 75% complete, 2 storey cottage/weekender with a Rayburn wood stove (connected to hot water storage tank and solar booster).

A 5000 litre water storage tank is elevated at the cottage, supplied from a high pressure pump on a permanent waterhole on the Whiteman Creek. Complete privacy is assured.

Apart from the cottage, there are several possible house sites with some sandstone rock available between the cottage and the Whiteman Creek.

Earth sheltered/underground building is a construction option which would reduce temperature variations and fire risk.

There are posts and flooring for a large shed and a 1 hectare house paddock provides protection from grazing animals in surrounding paddocks.

The property is fenced for 3/4 of boundary – within the forest the boundary with the property to the south is partly fenced.

The property is 42km from Grafton with all but the last 5km on bitumen. Copmanhurst Village is 12 km away with a primary school, shop and hotel.
