1 Bouyon Street Lismore, NSW 2480

A rare opportunity to own a truly special piece of Lismore's history. Set on 7.5 acres of rich alluvial soil on the northern banks of Leycester Creek, "Locheil" is a unique rural haven within reach of town amenities - yet with the privacy and atmosphere of a countryside retreat.

Formerly the maternity ward of the original Locheil Hospital, this character-filled home has been preserved in its original yet well-maintained condition. The residence is thoughtfully lifted on 400 solid ironbark posts, raised 1.5 meters above the 1-in-100-year flood level to meet council specifications.
The home offers expansive space underneath, featuring a shower, toilet, laundry facilities, a mezzanine floor, and extensive shelving - ideal for storage, creative use, or further development. A side workshop, complete with wide-opening doors, allows for excellent airflow and panoramic views over the property.

The land is as productive as it is picturesque. With 43 mature Cherokee Pecan trees, the orchard generates an annual return of $10,000-$15,000 (weather dependent), supported by a dam and 600 meters of serene river frontage. The property is fully fenced, includes a small horse stable, and has town water and sewer connections.

Other features include:

• A large shed for machinery or storage
• Lush established gardens and large shade trees
• Established fruit trees
• A rustic outdoor barbecue area built from solid hardwood timbers
• No immediate neighbours - offering peace, privacy, and the charm of rural living

Locheil combines historical significance, income potential, and lifestyle appeal on one of Lismore's most scenic blocks. Whether you're seeking a family homestead, a small agricultural venture, or a peaceful retreat with charm and character, this property is a must-see.

Inspections are warmly welcomed - come and experience the atmosphere of this truly remarkable property.

please note: We also have a large archive of the property's history dating back to the 1800s
