697B Pinchin Road, Goolmangar NSW 2480

Federation acreage | 1898 residence | studio, barn, pool | rural retreat near Lismore | 5.47 hectares | four bedrooms | four car spaces The buying case is built on rarity: a fully intact Federation residence on 5.47 hectares within commuting distance of Lismore, with a studio, barn, and pool already in place. For buyers seeking heritage character combined with usable acreage and outbuilding infrastructure, this property removes the typical delays and cost of adding those improvements. The configuration suits a family wanting rural lifestyle without dense agricultural demands, or someone looking for a multi-use holding where the studio and barn support hobby farming, equestrian use, or guest accommodation. The competitive edge is that few acreage offerings at this price point combine period character with immediate functional outbuildings and a pool. The principal risk is that the circa 1898 residence may require ongoing maintenance typical of its era, and the automated value estimate of $1.204 million should not be relied upon without a physical inspection and local agent feedback. The address confusion between 697 and 697B Pinchin Road means due diligence on title boundaries is essential. The opportunity lies in the studio and barn: these additions increase utility for a buyer who can use them productively, and they add a layer of flexibility that standard acreage homes lack. Hold this property as a primary rural residence with potential for partial lifestyle income through the studio.
