James McCowan started his career in the industry as a junior property manager in 1991, when he worked diligently and finished each day with a new lesson learned. With his country upbringing, James has the clarity and simplicity of mind associated with those on the land. He says their approach to most things is pragmatic – whether it’s real estate or any other business – they work hard and love the process.
James also recognises that flexibility is another invaluable asset for real estate professionals as is the need to be a good listener, who can read between the lines and have an understanding of timing.
To date James’ top five sales include 62 Wunulla Rd, Point Piper ($28.75 million); 108 Wolseley Rd, Point Piper ($26 million); Santina Penthouse, Darling Point ($10.35 million); 5-7 Cranbrook Ln, Bellevue Hill ($10 million) and 99 Wolseley Rd, Point Piper ($10 million).
Situated along a wide stretch of the pristine Macleay river, this property presents a truly unique blend of laid-back luxury lifestyle living and working farm. With just under 160 acres, multiple residences, improved paddocks, an 18 metre infinity pool and cabana, a full sized croquet lawn, and over 1km of river frontage it is the very definition of a private, multi-generational haven.
The long, sealed driveway sweeps around the fish-stocked home dam and up to the primary residential compound where the main house captures the spectacular views over the river and beyond. Beautifully constructed from rammed earth and boasting polished concrete floors and recycled timber beams, the house offers luxuriously comfortable, year-round living through thoughtfully designed natural air flows and warming fireplaces.
Outdoor entertaining shines here. From the wisteria covered outdoor dining area, to the wrap around verandahs; from the championship sized croquet lawn, to the renowned bass fishing in the river. Relax poolside and take in the views from the cabana or cool off in the visually-stunning infinity edge swimming pool. Or simply get lost in the spectacular mature garden while being serenaded by the abundant bird life.
The pastures themselves have been improved to high standards with well fenced paddocks, stock lanes, cattle yards and a plentiful supply of water for livestock.
With an additional smaller residence that mirrors the construction of the main house, a manager's cottage and separate guest accommodation, the estate has been consciously designed to cater to all family generations and needs. With an additional barn ripe for a hampton-style conversion, potential airbnb or farmstay opportunities beckon. Just 20 minutes from Crescent Head beach and 45 to Port Macquarie Airport, this estate is more than a property; it's an embodiment of luxury living.
