140 Sandy Flat Road, Cumbalum

Offered for the first time in 25 years, this much-loved multi-generational family estate presents a rare opportunity to secure a private, resort-style acreage in one of Northern NSW’s most desirable coastal hinterland locations. Just 10 minutes from Lennox Head, Ballina, and only 25 minutes to Byron Bay, this expansive 162-acre property offers a lifestyle of serenity, space, and future opportunity.

Set in a peaceful valley with panoramic views over abundant wetlands, the north-facing original farmhouse sits elevated to capture the best of the landscape. Bright and airy interiors flow to a large alfresco deck, perfect for entertaining while enjoying the tranquil surrounds.

Designed for multi-generational living, the estate features three separate dwellings thoughtfully positioned for privacy and flexibility. A charming A-frame guest house is nestled among the trees, while a self-contained studio and a workers cottage provide additional accommodation options. Each dwelling is separately metered and connected to independent water and sewer infrastructure.

The property is a true lifestyle haven, with resort-style amenities including a swimming pool, full-sized floodlit tennis court, and maintained grassed walking tracks with mains lighting that connect all infrastructure. There’s plenty of space for children, chickens, and cattle to roam freely, making it an ideal setting for families seeking a rural escape with modern comforts.

With over 30 fruit trees, unlimited water supply via tanks, a spring-fed well and bore, and newly fenced paddocks, the land is perfectly suited for cattle, horses or other livestock. Rolling cleared areas and fertile soil offer excellent grazing potential, while several elevated future house sites invite the opportunity to embrace stunning outlooks, with the possibility of capturing ocean views from the top of the property.

Fronting the Ballina Nature Reserve, the estate is rich in native wildlife, including Brolgas and Jabiru, and offers a rare connection to nature while remaining close to coastal conveniences. Importantly, the property is located within a future growth area identified by Ballina Shire Council, presenting exciting development potential (STCA).
