CLARENCE RIVER FRONTAGE - COMMERCIAL & RESIDENTIAL PURSUITS ACCOMMODATED!
There is a rich history attached to that of 1780 Lawrence Road, Lower Southgate. Once part of a larger rural holding; later obtaining its very own title after the Lawrence Road separated the land.
Built around 1954 on the banks of the Clarence River; this is the first time the property has been offered to the market. Tightly held, and widely known as the “The place they sell honey” from the little honesty box under the carport. For 69 years honey was manufactured and stored in this exact location servicing the Clarence Valley, Australia-wide and overseas. Whilst much of the machinery is being sold off now; the warm room that stored the honey will be left and will most probably be a great cool room for the new custodian.
With approximately 200m of absolute river frontage, the views are phenomenal from this allotment of approximately 4471m2. Watching the sunrise over the river each morning is only matched by the sunsets over the rural farmland of an afternoon. The land is fertile and alluvial, with mixed fruiting trees, gardens, flowers, and a chicken run. For the fisherman, stairs lead you to the water’s edge where you could possibly launch your tinny for a fish or two. Semi-self sufficiency looks easy here.
The humble cottage has been well maintained over the years, raising children and welcoming family to enjoy the position. This is a home where people gather around the dining table taking in views that are usually reserved for houseboats. Four bedrooms surround the perimeter of the home each with their own aspect. The bathroom is fully equipped alongside the internal laundry plus a separate toilet (a second toilet can be found in the shed), the kitchen well equipped with gas cooking and a toasty wood-fire heater, taking the edge off those river breezes in Winter. Storage is generous throughout with floor to ceiling cabinetry plus there are fans and air conditioners, supported by the solar upgrade.
Some say you can never have enough shed space and so we are offering more than enough! Coming it a whopping 29m x 9m (approx.) plus several carports. STCA this shed is large enough for most commercial pursuits. As mentioned, we have a cool room inclusive, we will include the winch plus there are bathroom facilities alongside an office/foyer where the honey was once sold.
In times of significant flooding, parts of the block have taken water although the home has never had flood water inside. In 2022, for the very first time, some floodwaters from the farmland did make their way into the Northern part of the shed so gear was moved to palettes. The far S/E corner where the honey was stored remained dry.
