"Eagles Rest" --Leave the stress behind, but bring your golf clubs...

1.5 hectares of private land with a modern, mostly renovated brick home, all located in the 'Fairways' neighbourhood, nestled by Grafton's 18 Hole Golf Course.

Walking from its back boundary towards the home, you have to remind yourself that you're not at the fringe of a National Park out in the countryside, but just 6.5km or around an 8 minute drive from Grafton Post Office and CBD shopping.

The mistake is easily made though, because in the backyard you can see nothing but eucalypts, native birdlife, kangaroo mobs and a large body of water through the trees - as it happens a lake sized dam in one of the adjoining lots. The neighbouring houses are hidden by the flora and fauna, adding to the privacy.

Inside, the hardwood-framed brick home is centred around its flexible and spacious living areas: a carpeted lounge room complete with air conditioning and fireplace, and a tiled everyday dining area with glass walls offering you lots of natural light and a terrific view out into the gardens and bushland. The renovated kitchen is low maintenance, modern and allows the chef particpation in conversations in the dining areas thanks to its clever design.

There are 4 bedrooms, serviced by a renovated bathroom; easy to clean thanks to its disabled-friendly screenless shower.

Cars, tools and caravans are well catered for at "Eagles Rest" courtesy of a double garage and double caravan port.

You'll want to buy membership at the Course. It's a brisk 700 metre walk, thereabouts, to the pro shop, and locals use it for social, sporting and entertainment reasons year round.

Such a unique package of privacy, size, location and convenience was difficult to value by owner and agent alike, so "Eagles Rest" will be going to auction to meet the market as the owners next move in retirement is already arranged.
