NATURE, WILDLIFE, FISHING & ISOLATION. There are approximately 2-3,000 people in the area during dry season. Over 2/3rd Tourists. In the wet season there is less than If this doesn't make your heart sing, this is not the property for you. Remote location 7km from the Daly River, home of the Barra Classics and the Barra Nationals. Within 7km's from River, post office, boat ramp, arts gallery, store, take-away, pub, sport & rec centre, courthouse, service station & workshop, numerous holiday resorts and caravan parks. 2 hours drive from Darwin. 1 hour from Adelaide river. Duties-Occassional Ride on mowing in wet season, small amount of watering chillis, papaya, banana, tomatoes for you to eat. We are a family of 4 and have to move to Darwin for work reasons and want someone to enjoy this natural block and quiet lifestyle. Leaning towards self sufficiency and not many modern cons. Fishermans Shack/Home. Converted shed into 3/4 complete huge home. Rough but cosy. Has 2 brms, 1 donga, 1 caravan. 1 internal bedroom is airconditioned, has kitchen dining and bathroom. Water is run by pump to house. Conservation of water is necessary during dry season. Running of rainwater tanks. Carting water in during dry season. Mountain side block that does not get affected in the wet season. All year access to Darwin. Huge covered area. Concrete, block and tin. Internet and landline available for your use if required. We have good Telstra mobile coverage on our property. A BIT OF THE WILD WILD NORTH. UPDATE TO ADVERTISEMENT I am in the process of altering my listing as the position has been filled. 2 Surveyors who are contracted for the New Daly River Bridge Construction thru Falton Hogan will be taking the property for approximately 18 months, I would love to store interested peoples details should we require someone for a further period after that? Or if someone is interested in purchasing, we will most probably consider. Our intention is to come back and open a restaurant and few other little things. We paid $14,000 to put 3 phase underground and 8 power outlets going down the property. only to be told incorrectly that they could just switch it. We have to pay another $24,000 to POWA for a roadside transformer. Then we need to put septics, ablutions and bore. Currently it runs of tanks on the home with a electric pump that supplies the house. Our Property does not affected get by the wet season, we have access all year. Last year we were able to help others and get to Darwin all through the flood times. This block is worth holding on to that is why we advertised house sitters for free. Sorry to waffle on but it is hard moving as it is beautiful, to say the least. i am having to many, to tell them the property has been taken. Cheers Ella
