Drake NSW 2469

Escape to 40 hectares of beautiful Australian bushland where privacy, wildlife and simple
off-grid living come together. Bordering Girard State Forest and with over a kilometre of Ti-Tree Creek frontage, this is a property for buyers seeking a genuine connection with nature, peace, and purpose.

Comfortable Country Living
The comfortable one-bedroom weatherboard home is complemented by a separate studio with loft and wide verandah overlooking the forest, plus a large workshop with double carport.

Solar power, three large water tanks, wood heating, composting toilet, and garden
provide everything needed for a relaxed, self-sufficient lifestyle.

A Landscape to Enjoy
Swim in shaded creek waterholes, explore your own forest, watch abundant birdlife, or
simply unwind in complete tranquillity.

Conservation with Lasting Value
Sensitively managed by the current owner for over 40 years, the property is largely free of lantana, has benefited from careful fire management and forms part of the Land for Wildlife network. More than 90 bird species have been recorded, along with koalas, greater gliders, glossy black cockatoos, powerful owls and many other native animals.

Wildlife, plant lists and a 2024 Land for Wildlife assessment are available to interested buyers. Historical logging areas have regenerated strongly, with many mature hollow-bearing trees remaining.
