A fishing, swimming, boating and kayaking oasis on the celebrated Gwydir River – the Big River – just six minutes from the centre of Moree has come on the market.

Raine and Horne Moree has listed 84 Bundaloey Road, on the northern banks of the Gwydir River near Yarraman, as their featured property – and selling agent Kelly Atkins says prospective buyers looking for lifestyle and acreage are wise to arrange an inspection.

“It’s hard to believe such a gem, with such a rural outlook, can be so close to town,” Kelly said.

The property sits on 1.6 hectares – nearly four acres in old money – and offers a four-bedroom Austam home with two bathrooms and comfortable living – inside and out.

“The current owners, who established the property 15 years ago, have decided to downsize,” Kelly said.

Recreational fishermen can amble down the “backyard” and drop a line in the Gwydir River, famous for yellow-belly, cat fish and cod.

The property, with expansive grounds, irrigated by an automatic watering system, and established gardens, hedges and ageless gum trees, is about eight kilometres from Moree, with bitumen to the front gate.

There’s a chook run, large three-bay shed and workshop connected to power as well as a four-bay carport attached to the residence. Solar panels keep the energy bills down.

The home offers a comfortable lounge and sitting area and the kitchen and dining area opens to a covered deck with a southern-facing aspect.

The veranda on the northern side welcomes visitors and offers a peaceful spot to sit and relax.

“There are four bedrooms, with an ensuite and walk-in robe to the main bedroom,” Kelly said.

A wood fire keeps the living area warm and cozy in winter and ducted, reverse-cycle air-conditioning offers year-round comfort.

The open-plan kitchen, with island bench and double sinks as well as large wall oven and gas cook-top, offers plenty of cupboard space.

“This property offers a practical, well-thought-out floor plan with room for a growing family, and the biggest backyard imaginable for kids and pets,” Kelly said.
