Fencing is in relatively poor condition although the property has been well subdivided and includes a laneway to the cattle yards allowing easy cattle handling.

The modern kitchen is typically adjacent to the meals area and comes with an extensive walk-in pantry….if you fill this up you’ve got too much food.

COMMENTS
Back in 1913 “Old Station” formed part of a 650ac (1 Sq. mile) holding owned by John Verge, all part of the immense Verge Estate and has subsequently been run by prominent graziers. It is well located on the Mid North Coast of NSW with an easy drive to both Port Macquarie and Kempsey, to nearby beaches of South West Rocks, Hat Head and Crescent Head, to State Forest and to National Parks. Unfortunately the property has been uninhabited for some time meaning it all needs attention yet new owners are set to enjoy natural surroundings and settle into a peaceful and comfortable rural lifestyle.
