FROM COAST TO COUNTRY

The abundant charms of Uki

By Jo Kennett

UKI IS a lovely village with quirky residents who like a bit of fun and if you are in the market for property and like the rural lifestyle it’s a great place to hang your beret.

Uki is a stepping stone for a lot of the natural wonders in the area including Wollumbin National Park and Clarrie Hall Dam, with the upper reaches of the Tweed River running right through the village.

It’s home to the mighty Uki Pythons Football Club and the Mount Warning Hotel, which tragically burned down in 2013, but has been rebuilt and is a popular watering hole for tourists and residents alike.

Kunghur author Megan Albany loves Uki which is her closest town.

“It’s a really lovely community like Kunghur,” she said.

“When times are tough everyone pulls together and helps each other.

“Gary who took over the Uki Post Office now has a roast office and roasts his own coffee and he puts on all sorts of fun events.

“Everyone has a sense of humour so that’s pretty cool.

“The worst thing about Uki is you can’t do a quick shop; you go in to get some veggies and three hours later after you’ve talked to every single person you finally go home.

“I have my writers group there which I couldn’t live without.”

Megan wrote most of The Very Last List of Vivian Walker at the Uki Cafe, which has unfortunately closed because of COVID.

“Hopefully that will reopen soon, but there is a new cafe Village and Co and they are my Saturday morning brekky and chai spot,” Megan said.

“I’m often at Happy High Herbs for health advice, chats and natural immunity stuff and I go to the Saturday Farmers Market in the Uki Hall for organic fruit and veg and for the best bread in the known universe.

“We have a little supermarket and they were amazing during the floods helping people out when none of the ATM cards were working.

“They had an honour system for all the locals which was lovely.”

Megan says The Buttery has

“fabulous boutique shops” and great music at the monthly markets where everyone pays her out for being a “famous author”.

“We get takeaway from Uki Love or Uki Pies run by two of the many fabulous women in Uki,” she said.

“The most fabulous of all is Ida Daly, she’s in her 90s and is the matriarch of the town.”

Uki also has lots of homes and last month there were three properties available for rent and ten properties for sale which is great news for buyers.

The median price for houses from April 2020 to March 2021 was $805,000.

From July 2021 to June 2022 it was $935,000, so it’s been steadily climbing, which is no surprise at all really since it’s become increasingly popular.

The cheapest properties in Uki right now are a couple of blocks of land in the middle of town, with one on the market with Elders Tweed Valley Murwillumbah for $469,000 and the other for $475,000, both with water, power and sewerage already connected.

Tate Brownlee has this revonated Queenslander for sale for $700,000 to $750,000

market is with Tate Brownlee for between $700,000 and $750,000. It’s a beautifully renovated Queenslander on a big (1,725 square metre) block.

At the other end of the pay scale is a 68.76 hectare property with two homes on Clarrie Hall Dam Road.

It’s on the market for $2.4 million with First National Real Estate - Murwillumbah.

It’s surprising how many lovely

character-filled properties are up for grabs in Uki, and some of them seem to be quite cheap when you look at other parts of the shire.

It’s only a short drive to Murbah, but this old timber cutters town is a world away in every other respect and it’s got to be one of the best value areas on the market in God’s Own Country, our wonderful Tweed Shire.

Introducing Amy Rosser Sales Consultant

Stepping into a Sales Consultant role with Elders Tweed Valley after a long career in Property Management was what I believe to be a natural progression.

Over my career so far, I have been fortunate to have worked alongside some of the best Real Estate Agents in the industry, and to have been involved with many sales in my time. I have also assisted and advised many landlords to secure market rent for their investments both residential and commercial in varying markets by working to secure them high quality tenants so to transfer this dedication and results into launching my Sales Career, I wanted to start off fresh with an energetic and excited approach and to put emphasis on my attributes as a born and bred local lass who is committed to assisting our community in all of your real estate transactions and enquiries.

From my Property Management career, I have a strong understanding of Tenancy Legislation so if you are looking to buy or sell an investment or simply would like to try a down to earth, honest and transparent approach to selling your biggest investment, give me a call.
