MARINGA NEEDS SOME LOVE. AND THE PRICE REFLECTS IT.
TWO HOMES. 40 ACRES. SEPARATE OFFICE & PRODUCTION FACILITY. WORKSHOP. VEHICLE HOIST. HYDROPONICS. GREENHOUSES. COLD ROOM. DAM. SOLAR.
And that's only the beginning.
Welcome to MARINGA — 256 McLean Road, Durong.
This is one of those properties that's genuinely difficult to compare with anything else on the market.
So let's be completely upfront.
After more than 30 years in the same ownership, MARINGA could use some love.
There are jobs to finish. Some trims and cabinetry need completing. There's painting to do. The driveways need attention. The acreage would benefit from a good tidy-up and House Two has a substantial laundry area still waiting for someone to realise its potential.
But look beyond those jobs and look at what is already here.
And that's exactly why MARINGA is priced to sell at around $750,000 — rather than carrying the $1 million-plus price guide you might expect if everything here had already been polished, completed and presented to its full potential.
We're not asking buyers to pay for somebody else's finished product.
We're offering the opportunity to recognise the infrastructure, the land and the potential that's already here, then put in the work and make it your own.
HOUSE ONE
A character-filled one-bedroom home with a smaller second or multipurpose room and a large open-plan kitchen and living area.
There's a log fire for winter and the living space opens onto a deck and built-on above-ground swimming pool surrounded by an established Boho/Bali-inspired landscaped oasis.
Private, relaxed and completely different.
HOUSE TWO
The second home offers two bedrooms and a large family bathroom, together with a substantial unfinished laundry/utility area.
Laundry. Mudroom. Storage. Boots. Saddles. Work gear.
There's room here to create something seriously practical.
WORK FROM HOME — WITHOUT WORKING IN YOUR HOME
Completely separate from both houses is the former Maringa Farm office and production facility.
It's a substantial building containing multiple rooms including two offices, a laboratory, production room and extensive storage.
Keep it as a serious home-business base.
Explore consulting or therapy rooms, studios or creative spaces.
Or investigate an entirely different future for it.
Whatever your vision, there's a considerable amount of existing space to work with, subject to any necessary approvals.
TRADIES. MECHANICS. TRUCKIES. THIS PART'S FOR YOU.
There's a large open-front workshop and machinery shed complete with hydraulic vehicle hoist, plus a separate 6m x 6m lock-up double garage.
Cars. Machinery. Tools. Bikes. Boats. Caravans. Trailers.
Bring them.
GROW IT. RAISE IT. BECOME MORE SELF-SUFFICIENT.
The former Maringa Farm operation has left behind another extraordinary layer of infrastructure.
There's an extensive hydroponic setup ready to be planted, together with additional greenhouse structures offering potential for poultry or other suitable rural uses.
Toward the rear you'll also find a small fenced piggery area.
Add the acreage, tank water and large dam and there's genuine scope here for someone wanting to produce more of their own food and build a more self-sufficient lifestyle.
AND THERE'S STILL MORE...
Near House One and the office is another separate building containing a walk-in cold room plus an additional unfinished room.
The owners always intended that second space to become a man cave or lady cave.
It never happened.
Maybe you'll finally give it a purpose.
40 ACRES TO MAKE YOUR OWN
The property is fenced on three sides, with the remaining side adjoining a vacant neighbouring block.
The current owners presently have permission from the neighbouring owner to run livestock onto that adjoining land. Buyers should note that this informal arrangement forms no part of the property being sold and should not be assumed to continue.
The substantial dam has supported the property for many years, with the long-term owners advising they have never seen it run dry, including when Maringa Farm was operating at full production.
Services include tank water, septic, solar power and grid-connected electricity.
THIS IS WHERE WE SEE THE OPPORTUNITY.
Get your tradie mates around.
Roll up your sleeves.
Finish a few jobs. Tidy the acreage. Bring the growing infrastructure back to life. Put the workshop to work. Give MARINGA the attention it deserves.
Because you're starting with:
Two homes.
A separate office and production facility.
Workshop and machinery shedding.
Hydraulic vehicle hoist.
Lock-up double garage.
Hydroponics.
Greenhouses.
Walk-in cold room.
Animal infrastructure.
Large dam.
Solar and grid power.
And approximately 40 acres.
For the multi-generational family, tradie, mechanic, truckie, contractor, home-business owner, hobby farmer, horse owner, self-sufficiency dreamer, or simply someone with too many toys and nowhere to put them...
MARINGA doesn't need reinventing.
It simply needs some love.
And at around $750,000, we think there's an enormous amount here to love.
Private inspections only, arrange yours today.
