20 acres of off-grid riverfront living — northern rivers
3 bedroom
2 bathroom
80900.00 m2 Land area
When we first came to Currawinya, it was the river, the space and the sense of freedom that really got us.
Since then, we’ve put a huge amount of work into creating the off-grid property we wanted to live in — somewhere comfortable, practical and genuinely independent, without giving up the things that make a home enjoyable.
Share 22 gives us our own 20-acre homesite with extensive frontage to the Cataract River, surrounded by the remarkable 6,500 acres that make up Currawinya.
THE HOME
Our fully renovated 17m x 9m three-bedroom shouse is warm, comfortable and easy to live in.
The open-plan kitchen, dining and lounge sit beneath a pitched ceiling with exposed black trusses. There’s a striking stone feature wall, wood fireplace, timber-look hybrid flooring and large openings connecting the living area to the covered deck and views.
The new kitchen has off-white cabinetry, timber benchtops, induction cooktop and oven, double-door Westinghouse fridge and walk-in pantry. The main bedroom has a generous walk-in robe, with another two bedrooms and a fully renovated bathroom completing the home.
The long covered deck is one of our favourite places — perfect for morning coffee, outdoor meals or a drink as the sun goes down.
A SEPARATE CABIN FOR FAMILY AND FRIENDS
A short distance from the house is our 9m x 7m cabin, used as guest accommodation and a studio/sleeping space. It has its own established Victron solar system and gravity-fed water supply, plus shower, composting toilet and small kitchen sink.
THE SHED — BECAUSE YOU CAN NEVER HAVE TOO MUCH SHED
There’s a substantial 9m x 18m machinery shed/workshop with plenty of room for machinery, vehicles, tools, storage and projects.
OFF-GRID WITHOUT ROUGHING IT
The main home is serviced by a 20kW solar system with lithium battery storage, while the cabin and shed have their own established 5kW Victron solar system.
We have more than 150,000 litres of water storage, with water pumped directly from the Cataract River. There are no mains electricity or water bills.
We’ve also established vegetable gardens, fruit trees and cleared areas. Approximately half of our 20 acres is cleared or gently sloping country, with the remainder predominantly natural bush and steeper country.
THE RIVER IS PROBABLY WHAT WE’LL MISS MOST
The Cataract River has become a big part of our life here. Our 20 acres has extensive river frontage, and it’s somewhere we genuinely use rather than simply look at.
We kayak, swim, sit beside the water, relax on the pontoon or sometimes just head down with a coffee. The river changes character along the property — quiet pools in some places and rocky sections in others — and combined with the surrounding bush and ranges, it’s probably what makes Share 22 feel most removed from everyday life.
OUR 20 ACRES IS ONLY PART OF THE STORY
Our exclusive-use homesite is approximately 20 acres (8.09 hectares) and includes the home, cabin, machinery shed, gardens, cleared country, bushland and river frontage.
Currawinya itself encompasses approximately 6,500 acres, shared by just 25 shareholders. While Share 22 is our exclusive-use area, we’re also part of a much larger property with access to extensive common land and communal machinery and facilities.
HOW OWNERSHIP AT CURRAWINYA WORKS
We understand company title may be unfamiliar, so we’d rather explain it clearly.
Currawinya was established in 1976 and has now been operating for 50 years. The approximately 6,500-acre property is owned by Currawinya Pty Ltd, with 25 shareholders.
When you purchase Share 22, you acquire a share in Currawinya Pty Ltd together with the permanent exclusive-use rights associated with our approximately 20-acre homesite.
The current annual company levy is $800 per share and contributes towards company and communal expenses. The levy can only be increased with an 80% vote of shareholders at the Annual General Meeting.
Serious buyers can request our comprehensive information pack to understand the structure properly before making any decisions.
AND YES — IT REALLY IS WALK-IN, WALK-OUT
We’re offering Share 22 for $729,000 as a genuine Walk-In, Walk-Out property.
The $729,000 WIWO purchase price comprises the Transfer Notice fair value (the dutiable share/homesite component) plus inclusions.
With the exception of our Ford Ranger and nominated personal possessions, essentially everything you see in the photographs stays.
The shouse and cabin come substantially furnished and equipped with quality furniture, televisions, outdoor furniture and appliances.
Then there’s the equipment needed to run the property — including our near-new 45HP tractor and implements, CFMOTO side-by-side, two ride-on mowers, box trailer, generators, workshop equipment, extensive shelving and much more.
WE’RE NOT JUST SELLING THE FURNITURE. WE’RE HANDING OVER THE SETUP.
Bring your clothes, unpack and start enjoying Currawinya. A comprehensive WIWO inventory is available to serious purchasers.
Please note: Share 22 is a cash purchase. As the ownership is company title with a perpetual exclusive-use lease rather than Torrens title real estate, conventional mortgage finance is not available.
WHY ARE WE SELLING?
We’ve put a lot into Share 22 and we’re genuinely proud of what we’ve created here. We’re not leaving because we’ve fallen out of love with the place — life is simply taking us in another direction.
For someone looking for genuine off-grid independence, their own river frontage, room to breathe and a lifestyle well outside the ordinary, we think Share 22 is pretty special.
But photographs and words can only tell you so much.
COME AND SEE IT FOR YOURSELF.
