An idyllic setting, one of natures gems, nestled on the banks of the beautiful Nicholson River, in a very private bushland paradise. 17HA (42 acres) freehold property, in fact the only freehold land in the Parish of Onyim, unique indeed. The land includes approx 6HA (15 acres) rich and fertile river flats that is maintained by the myriad of wildlife that abounds in natures garden.

The balance of the land, approx 10.9HA (27 acres) provides the amphitheatre of timbered hill country that encompasses the riverland setting and gives privacy and shelter.
The history, first settled in the 1880s by gold mining families, which supported a school, cricket team and fabulous vegetable growing from the rich and fertile soil.
In the more recent years, the current owners acquired Waterholes in 1976, they built a 4 bedroom, pasive solar homestead which was completed in 1990 and extended, including new kitchen in 2001. A delightful detached, 3 suite guest house was built in 2001, subsequently Waterholes was operated as Waterholes Guest House. It became known as a joyous and peaceful wilderness experience. Operating as a guest house at the present time, the facilities are excellent. A walk through the most beautiful garden surounds is quite good for the soul.
