Lots 121, 129 & 167 Johns River Forest Road, Johns River NSW

Positioned between the Pacific Highway and Crowdy Bay National Park, near the coastal reaches of the Pacific Ocean, "Saltwood Range" presents a rare opportunity to secure a substantial holding of largely untouched coastal forest and native scrub in a wonderfully private Mid North Coast setting.

Comprising three separate parcels – Lots 121, 129 and 167 in DP 754448 - 'Saltwood Range' encompasses approximately 112.09 hectares (277 acres), made up of two parcels of approximately 40 acres together with a larger parcel of approximately 197 acres.

The land carries a combination of RU1 Primary Production and C2 Environmental Conservation zoning.

Prospective purchasers are encouraged to refer to the provided property plans for further information regarding the location and extent of the respective zoning across the property. Under the RU1 zoning, the property would enjoy a building entitlement, subject to council approval (STCA).

The country is predominantly level and heavily timbered, characterised by a diverse mixture of coastal forest and native scrub, including stands of Blackbutt and native gums, which transition into areas of naturally low-lying coastal country featuring Tea Tree and Paperbark vegetation. The changing vegetation and character of the country create an attractive and distinctly coastal landscape.

Vacant and unimproved, 'Saltwood Range' remains largely untouched, offering a genuine bushland holding where privacy, native forest and the natural environment are very much the dominant features.

Receiving approximately 1,600mm of rainfall annually, the property has all the hallmarks of the Mid North Coast landscape, with established native forest, dense coastal vegetation and naturally low-lying wetland country. The agency agreement describes the property as coastal forest and scrub and records rainfall in the 1,600–1,800mm range * (source B.O.M).

Adding considerably to its appeal is the property's location. Unsealed road access is available from Johns River, providing a genuine sense of seclusion while still placing the property within convenient reach of the coast, surrounding townships and major transport links.

To 'Saltwood Range', it is approximately a 7 km or eight minute drive from Johns River, approximately 28 kms (25 minutes from Laurieton), and 53 kms (around a 40 minute drive) from Port Macquarie.

The combination of approximately 277 acres, three separate titles, varied natural country and a position between the Pacific Highway, Crowdy Bay National Park and the Pacific Ocean makes 'Saltwood Range' an intriguing proposition for buyers looking beyond the conventional rural property.

Whether your interest lies in securing a substantial private retreat, conservation and environmental pursuits, recreational use, land banking or simply owning a significant piece of the Mid North Coast landscape, 'Saltwood Range' offers scale, seclusion and a genuine sense of escape.
