LUSH GREEN FIELDS

A home with true class and style, located in one of Grafton's favourite neighbourhoods, 28 Bacon St exudes style and is now available for you to buy. 

Painstaking work over many years by considerate vendors has allowed us to present to market a home with meticulous renovations and upgrades to every facet, taking advantage of its 1950's characteristics whilst offering new owners a clean modern feel inside and out. 

The home has hardwood timber flooring and framing throughout and has higher ceilings with decorative trims. The kitchen is light and fresh, integrating well with ample living spaces allowing for dining and lounge settings and connecting well with the recently extended covered verandah.

Both bedrooms are large and the master has a walk in robe big enough to work as a home office or even a baby's nursery. It also has its own verandah that can also be accessed from the main lounge. 

The upstairs bathroom - fully renovated - has been crafted in a style that will hold itself for many years.

Downstairs you have an extensive workshop space and garage with the laundry having a 2nd bathroom handy for those working with tools or gardening. 

Speaking of gardens they are fully established with privacy hedges and lush lawns a feature.

A short stroll into town, or sporting fields, or shops. You may find you don't need the car much on weekends from this address. 

Owners have purchased and relocated - so it must be sold. All furniture is available by negotiation to the new owners - it fits the space too well to remove.

Pest & building reports available to interested parties.

FEELS LIKE HOME

52 Acres of prime cattle country running down towards the Coldstream River; 10 mins from Ulmarra village, 25 mins to Grafton, and 35 mins to the beach.
 
The rich green pasture on the lower flats speaks for itself, but what really sets this property apart is the large flood-free plateau containing the home, sheds and cattle yards. This means you are definitely flood safe in wet times and there is no need to truck cattle away, shift equipment or machinery, or vacate your home during a flood. 
 
The homestead is a neat and well presented 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom cottage with open plan living area with a fireplace. Each bedroom is generous in size and has a large built-in robe, and the afternoon breezes are a delight. The outlook over the farm to the river would be a wonderful thing to wake up to if you lived here. A building and pest report is available to genuinely interested purchasers. No work needs doing, everything is neat and tidy and the whole place has just been freshly painted.
 
The land has simple fencing systems with two main paddocks, plus two holding paddocks near the yards. The back boundary runs along the river (with a small road reserve in between) and access for a quick swim is available. A water lock allows for the inward flow of river water during drier times, which helps pastures to thrive in a drier season.
 
Mains water services the house and land with several water troughs. The yards are in good order and the outbuildings are ample with a huge open machinery shed (perfect for storing hay out of flood), a lock up double bay garage (with power connected), plus a small dairy building which has been converted to a chook pen/stables.
 
Suffice to say a flood-safe offering is as rare as hens teeth in this fertile district of farmland. Who knows when the next one will become available. The sale of this property is being run through the Openn Negotiation platform to increase transparency for buyers and to allow offers with conditions. To make an offer either call the listing agent or head to www.openn.com.au and search the property address.

THE PERFECT MIX: FERTILE FARM WITH FLOOD-FREE HOME & ACRES ON GILLETTS RIDGE

Just off the main street this lowset brick classic has been well-loved by its current owner for many decades but its now, with a tinge of sadness, time to move on. 

They certainly don't build them like they used to! This home is rock solid, astute buyers may notice that low set brick homes of this era are extremely rare in Grafton and rarely offered at this price point.  

The layout could be 2 or 3 bedrooms with 1 bathroom and a separate laundry. There is a central living area and a covered front verandah. 

Outside the sealed driveway gives access to a wide covered outdoor area near the huge garage and swimming pool. 

With an attractive asking price and address this home is set to last many more decades with a new family and renovations are not needed but the choice is yours – its hard to fake quality and this one has it in spades.

BRICK CLASSIC IN THE CENTRE OF TOWN

Here is a large lot in a flood free part of town with a big house perfect for renovations.

This 1950's era home has exceptional street appeal, buyers will imagine themselves sitting on the wide front verandah enjoying a morning coffee or afternoon beer. Inside there are 4 bedrooms 2 bathrooms and plenty of living space with hardwood timber flooring that will come up a treat. In addition to the 4 bedrooms there is a sunroom separate from an office or dining room depending on your requirements (consult the supplied floorplan to really appreciate the size and design). 

There's been some upgrades to kitchen and one bathroom already conducted and the rest of the house, whilst older fashioned, can be lived in for as long as you need while you plan your renovations. 

The block is over 1,000sqms and would easily accommodate new shedding and a pool. Perhaps it would also allow for further development of things like a granny flat or second residence? 

There's a big backyard and lots of garage space and the address is not far from primary school and Coles South Grafton.

LARGE LOT – BIG HOUSE

Neat 3 bed 1 bath house with huge three car garaging.

RENOVATED HOUSE + HUGE GARAGING

* Located opposite Aldi in Prince Street * Great street & off-street parking * Excellent signage potential * Recently renovated house converted into offices and reception * 5 Offices plus open plan workroom & reception * Suit consulting / professional

CONVERTED HOUSE USABLE AS COMMERCIAL PREMISES

The layout of the home definitely lends itself to a first home buyer purchaser who is looking to add value to their first purchase. Don't mistake that for meaning this house is run down (its absolutely not) but take a look at the floorplan and appreciate how easy it would be to create an en-suite off the main bedroom, the plumbing is already in place! Just that small change would gain you immediate equity which you can build on from there. 

Offering 2-3 bedrooms depending on configuration the home has plenty of room and a flexible layout.  The formal lounge has new window furnishings, updated flooring and a fireplace and air conditioning! The kitchen breakfast bar looks out the big windows at the back of the house over the yard. 

The block is 867sqms but feels even bigger, its a blank canvas looking for a new owner to add their own touch. There's vehicle access up either side of the house which makes putting in a massive shed or a pool easy - why not do both? That's if you even need a shed, there's already a double garage under the house plus acres of storage and workshop space. 

For the investor the property has a rental value in the vicinity of $480 - $490 per week. 

This home had been used as a rental investment but now the tenants have vacated the owners are motivated to sell..

TORRENS TITLE - ALMOST BRAND NEW!

Consider all the following points that make this solid 2 x 3 bed brick duplex an absolute special for investors looking for both returns and future capital growth: there's the spacious layout with internal stairs, the extra large garages measuring 9.5m long per side, the solid construction with suspended concrete slab flooring and there's the handy address right in the centre of town – close to CBD shops, sporting grounds, schools and services. 

Current rent return is just north of $740 per week with one tenant in place for nearly 30 years! When she moved in her child was an infant who is now a young adult taking advantage to the downstairs 3rd bedroom which lends itself to semi-separate living. 

The other side has tenants in place since February 2023 and features some recent renovations which mean it won't need work for the foreseeable future.  Tenant here would love to sign a long term lease. 

There is a spacious fenced yard for the tenants enjoyment and this type of rental accommodation sees very low vacancy rates due to affordability and convenience.

Rates: $4,985 23/24

Tucked away at the rear of the complex of 8, unit number 5 enjoys a larger yard than its neighbours – big enough to fit a vehicle in if needed, although you have a lock up garage and an additional guest parking spot right outside the front door.
 
Inside the 3 bed, 2 bath layout has just been refreshed with beautiful new paint and flooring and the kitchen and bathrooms are going to be serviceable for many years into the future. The downstairs enjoys a bedroom, living room and bathroom, meaning very functional separate living is possible with larger families or flatmates.
 
Currently leased to NSW Health for about $2000 a month the new owner may elect to sign a long term deal with Health to continue this arrangement.

At the more affordable end of the market, this exceptional property makes for the perfect central home, or an excellent investment property.

EASY LIVING IN THE HEART OF TOWN

TOP OF THE LOT

Just metres from Grafton's popular See Park and the Village Green Hotel, these low-set and low-maintenance 2-3 bed villa is a terrific option for busy working couples, retirees or investors.  

A sleek modern finish with 2 formal bedrooms plus a study or possible 3rd bed, 2 bathrooms and lock up garaging is available here – all set back a bit from Turf St and also handy to Grafton CBD, Grafton Primary & High Schools and more. The flood free location is surely an extra bonus. If you want a place to live with very little likely upkeep for a decade or more this could be the perfect spot for you.

As a built-to-rent investment property this villa makes lots of sense for your portfolio. Talk to your accountant about the tax depreciation benefits to owning a brand new investment property – they are substantial and could save you thousands of dollars a year in addition to the market rental value. Some of the other units in the complex are already in the process of being rented and will enjoy very healthy returns on investment.  We have an institutional tenant willing to rent this unit on a 3 year basis at $760 per week, contact the agent to discuss. 

Ready for settlement early next year the construction is just having the final touches put on now. Don't delay as this unit is likely the final one being offered for sale and the owner is keen to execute a contract prior to the Christmas break.

RENTABLE FOR $760 PER WEEK

You will struggle to find a more affordable brick and tile home in the Clarence Valley than this spacious 3 bed, 1 bath double garage number on the corner of Armidale and Ellen Streets. 

Owner absolutely must sell this month so has slashed her asking price to get it sold quickly. 

Long term tenants are planning their move out date so the place will be vacant for settlement and whether you are an investor or home buyer we can't offer better value anywhere else in South Grafton at present!

Central living area has plenty of space for lounge and dining setting, the kitchen is large and each bedroom comes with built in robe space. Pest and building reports are available - be quick to inspect!

BEST PRICED BRICK

This is a private little circuit off Breimba St that enjoys Council parkland in the centre and almost no traffic noise. 12 Argyle Close is a large and stylish family home with timber lined ceilings in its vast downstairs lounge room, there is an aquarium space ready to use for fish lovers near the kitchen and the big double garage has a separate workshop for all your tools and hobbies. 

Upstairs is like a private oasis for the homes occupants. All four bedrooms are here along with a master bathroom and a big family room. Downstairs is more aligned for entertaining - the master lounge has a bar area and there is a big covered patio out back. The kitchen has plenty of prep and storage space and there is a full bathroom on this level as well. 

With a unique address enjoyed by only a dozen homes, a huge amount of size in both living areas and garaging and a price in the $600,000's this is bound to appeal to a range of buyers.

Spacious layout with 2 beds, 1 bath, big carport with lock up store room.

FREESTANDING VILLA IN CENTRE OF TOWN

This modest 2 - 3 bedroom cottage has been a solid rental investment for its owner for many years. Now with retirement commitments he needs it sold and,  based on recent comparable sales, its definitely attractively priced! 

The home has 2 bedrooms plus a 3rd bed or sunroom (measuring 2m x 3m) as well as an eat-in kitchen. 

There is reverse cycle air conditioning and security shutters. The current tenant who is on an expired lease is paying below-market rent of $260 per week.

HALF ACRE HOMESITE IN TUCABIA VILLAGE

A beloved grandma's house and grandma's beloved house all in one – this low set 3 bedroomer has been in the family since construction and offers a surprisingly spacious layout with big sunroom areas at one end and a kitchen-living at the other.
