This unique property situated near the top of the valley below towering escarpments is located in sought after Upper Lansdowne. Rural serenity only 35 minutes from the pristine beaches of Crowdy Bay National Park, 25 minutes from Taree or Harrington and less than 3km from the well known Upper Lansdowne Community Hall with its monthly music gigs. Offered as a whole on a walk-in-walk-out basis, “Kellivale” comprises two titles of 34.09 ha and 14.21 ha totalling 48.3 ha (119.35 acres) with approximately 8 ha cleared and pastured the balance being 60+ year old regrowth forest with several rainforest gullies and creeks. Additionally, there is an enclosure permit over approximately 1 km of crown road reserve much of which is pastured. The centrepiece of Kellivale is Savilles Rock, a 200m volcanic plug and a local landmark which can be seen from many parts of the valley.
With a large, picturesque spring fed dam providing water for stock and gardens as well as approximately 90,000 litres of rainwater storage, the property is well watered and virtually drought proof. At an elevation of 100+ m it is also flood proof.
