Overview
Balvenie Estate - Beautifully Appointed Homestead with Impressive Rural Vistas.
"Balvenie" is a rural lifestyle estate located at 511 Whisky Creek Road, Dorrigo NSW, encompassing approximately 30 acres (12.14 hectares) of meticulously maintained land. The property features a beautifully renovated homestead with 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, complemented by a fully self-contained studio, offering excellent potential for use as a bed and breakfast or farm stay.
The homestead and studio are strategically positioned to capture sweeping views of the valleys, mountains, and fertile farmland characteristic of The Dorrigo Plateau. The open plan living design includes a generous kitchen equipped with stone bench tops, gas cooking facilities, and a butler's pantry, enhancing the functionality and appeal of the home.
Outdoor living is well catered for with multiple entertainment areas, including a pizza oven and firepit, providing inviting spaces to relax and enjoy the ever-changing rural vistas. The land consists of undulating red basalt grazing country situated at an elevation of approximately 770 metres, divided into 8 paddocks with a central laneway for ease of access and management.
The pastures have been improved with a mix of kikuyu, clover, rye, plantain, and cocksfoot grasses, which are fertilised annually to maintain productivity. Supporting livestock management are stock yards, a new vet crush, and a loading ramp, with an estimated carrying capacity of 22 steers or equivalent.
A machinery shed with three bays, including one lockup roller door, offers fully concreted floors, mezzanine storage, power, and parking for up to five vehicles, providing ample space for equipment and vehicles.
Water resources are plentiful, with an average annual rainfall of 1,800mm (70 inches), rainwater storage totaling 70,000 litres, an electric bore, two dams, and over half a kilometre of frontage to the permanent Whisky Creek, a popular trout fishing location.
The gardens are diverse and well-established, featuring approximately 40 species of roses, rhododendrons, camelias, dahlias, hydrangeas, ornamental trees, and bird-attracting native plants. The orchard includes nectarine, plum, apple, quince, lime, lemon, orange, pear, and macadamia trees, adding to the property's charm and productivity.
Convenience is enhanced by school bus pickup to local primary and secondary schools at the front gate, and the property benefits from reliable mobile and internet reception, supporting work-from-home opportunities.
Access to the property is via a picturesque 7-minute drive on an all-weather sealed road from the township of Dorrigo, with Bellingen located 35 minutes away and the Coffs Harbour Coast reachable within an hour. The New England City of Armidale is approximately 1.5 hours' drive.
The Dorrigo Plateau is a unique region surrounded by world heritage national parks and golden beaches, with fertile farmland in between. It enjoys a beautiful year-round climate that celebrates the seasons, making "Balvenie" an ideal location for hinterland living with all conveniences nearby, fresh mountain air, and wide-open clear night skies.
