Lifestyle Property with High-Value Plant Nursery - #7913

Blackwall Frangipani Farm and Stunning Views of Ballina

Nestled on the gently inclined deltaic alluvial plain of the Richmond River, and backing onto forested Blackwall Ridge, this idyllic 57-acre property offers a unique lifestyle opportunity. Located just minutes from Ballina via the Motorway, it features a beautifully cleared landscape with a mix of closed and open forests, as well as deep, well-drained soils ideal for horticulture. Acreages of this size and proximity are becoming harder to find, and especially when not affected by flood.

Currently running 20 breeder heifers and a bull, the property also boasts a well-established plant nursery with hundreds of named and exotic Plumeria (Frangipani) varieties from Hawaii, and the USA, including the latest imports from Thailand.

The property includes a 50,000L water tank, a 5-megalitre dam, a natural spring with windmill, ensuring reliable water access. A managers cottage with three bedrooms could provide comfortable living, while a highset building site offers panoramic views over the surrounding landscape. Dual occupancy is permissible in this zoning subject to individual council applications.

The lush environment is further enhanced by a picturesque lily pad-covered dam and a variety of fruit trees, including mango, mulberry, dragonfruit, and guavas.

With its low-maintenance setup, this property is perfectly suited to a Plumeria nursery, caf, or other tourist-oriented business, all of which are in high demand in the region. Open to the public from October to February, the farm already attracts plant enthusiasts with visits from community groups and drive-ins by appointment, and there is ample room to expand the business to maximise returns with cash sales and income supporting the owner, with minimal labour output and intervention. Take winter off, and travel to warmer climes while the plants lay in hibernation.

With only 10 minutes to Ballina’s beautiful Lighthouse beach, or secluded South Ballina beach, and the Richmond river a mere stones throw away for fishing and boating pleasure.
