A PRIVATE GOLF COURSE, TENNIS COURT AND WATERWAY

The Banksias’ portfolio includes a luxury homestead, detached honeymoon suite and four private cabins privately positioned in one of the most serene environments in New South Wales. Incredibly private and utterly inspiring, this exclusive compound features a nine-hole golf course, floodlit tennis court and a pristine private waterway with 1km of dual frontage for swimming, fishing, kayaking and paddle boarding.

Stroll out of the private grounds and step onto the golden sands of the pristine stretch of beach and enjoy a surf or you can walk up to the famed Big Hill lookout to soak up the breathtaking coastal vista. A commanding vantage point at the tip of the peninsula offers the perfect spot to watch whales migrate and dolphins at play. Discover flourishing rainforest, rocky headlands, stunning views and abundant wildlife. It’s all at the doorstep.

ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME OPPORTUNITY

The Banksias has the potential as a unique function and holiday retreat. Secluded private cabins and its meandering waterway make a perfect destination getaway ideal for weddings, tennis camps or as a golf or yoga retreat, wellness spa or eco lodge. It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity to own a rural retreat on the mid north coast, enjoy an exceptional quality of life or it can be run as a boutique luxury getaway and premier event venue.

WEEKEND BREAKS TO CORPORATE EVENTS

Surrounded by lush level lawns, the property can accommodate up to 18 guests comfortably. Retaining much of its original charm and character, the lovingly renovated weatherboard homestead has three bedrooms including one bunkroom that sleeps four and features a chef’s kitchen with walk-in cool room; a choice of living areas; two bathrooms; and a large deck for enjoying the views and listening to the soothing sounds of the ocean.

The honeymoon suite is equipped with a bath and shower, air-conditioning, hammock and outdoor spa tub. It is the perfect spot for relaxing while soaking up the absolute serenity or watching the kangaroos laze around in the shade at dawn and dusk or sit and watch the black swans glide up and down the river in front of you.

UNIQUE PURPOSE-BUILT GLAMPING SITE

The four tastefully appointed cabins are accessed via a walkway from the main homestead and nestled around an outdoor cinema and entertaining pavilion. The cabins are surrounded by native forest featuring a bounty of wildlife from wombats and kangaroos to echidnas and lyrebirds. Each air-conditioned cabin has a queen bedroom with ensuite, walk-in robe and access to a private deck.

MIND, BODY, SOUL AND SURF

The property has a variety of outdoor spaces beautifully crafted in harmony with nature offering great potential for corporate events, large gatherings, team building retreats and wellness escapes overlooking the waterway. Facilities include a multi-media outdoor room and an alfresco kitchen and dining pavilion with an integrated barbecue, 20-seater dining table, music system, fire pit and an outdoor shower.

Recreational facilities include a floodlit championship tennis court and nine-hole golf course flanking the tranquil waterway and featuring sand bunkers and nine tee-boxes. The private waterway leads down to the surf and is a perfect setting for everything from fishing and swimming to kayaking and paddle boarding.

COASTAL SPLENDOUR AND VILLAGE CHARM

The Banksias is just 15 minutes’ drive to Crescent Head village, a sleepy little coastal town with a handful of shops and cafes and within easy reach of the historic town of Gladstone. The area is characterised by beautiful beaches and a headland with one of the most spectacular cliffs on the eastern coast of Australia as well as the Goolawah Reserve and Limeburners Creek Nature Reserve flanking it to the north and the south.
