Set on one of the Clarence River’s most impressive stretches of frontage, 2499 Big River Way, Ulmarra is the kind of property that rarely becomes available. Solid, spacious and incredibly well positioned, this two-storey brick home offers the lifestyle people dream about when they picture living on the river.

The home itself is substantial, with a tile roof, ducted air conditioning, three bedrooms, a renovated bathroom and generous living areas that take full advantage of the setting. The floorplan offers comfortable everyday living upstairs, while the lower level provides a double garage, laundry and an enormous amount of storage or workshop space. For buyers needing room for boats, trailers, tools or hobbies, this property delivers well beyond the usual residential offering.

One of the home’s more unique features is its solar and battery system, including a 12V secondary power setup. For buyers who value energy efficiency, backup power or simply like the idea of a property that has been thoughtfully improved over time, this is a feature worth noting.

Of course, the real magic here is the river frontage. The block runs to the median high-water mark and offers a wide, grassed bank down to a solid rock-based edge. Unlike many riverfront properties where access can be steep or difficult, this frontage has been terraced, with a concrete path making the trip down to the water easy. Whether it is boating, swimming, fishing, launching a kayak, or simply sitting with a coffee in the morning or a beer in the afternoon, this is a riverfront setting that will be used and enjoyed, not just admired from a distance.

There is also a covered entertaining area positioned on the riverbank, giving you the perfect place to sit back and watch the Clarence roll by. It is easy to imagine family gatherings, lazy Sunday afternoons, fishing rods in the water and the kind of lifestyle that only genuine river frontage can provide.

The 1,039sqm block is wide, usable and well laid out. In addition to the double garage and the huge amount of storage space downstairs, there appears to be room for further shedding, subject of course to any necessary approvals. During the owner’s very long tenure, the property has never had floodwater through the home, adding another layer of confidence for buyers considering riverfront living.

Ulmarra itself continues to grow in popularity as one of the Clarence Valley’s most charming riverside villages. Positioned between Grafton and Yamba, it offers a primary school, a busy main street, cafes, specialty shops, art galleries and the famous Commercial Hotel, also set on the banks of the Clarence River.

Properties of this size and structure, with river frontage of this quality, are hard to come by. The owner has committed to a move and will consider genuine offers to purchase.
