Having grown up on a farm and spending much of her childhood yip-yarring around the local cane farms on horseback, horses have always been a big part of Samantha's life. From pony club days through to owning and riding horses herself as an adult, Samantha understands the unique lifestyle, infrastructure and practical considerations that come with rural and equine properties.
Today, Samantha combines that lifelong passion for horses with her local real estate knowledge to help buyers and sellers across the Northern Rivers. Whether it's acreage, lifestyle properties, hobby farms or established equine facilities, she understands what horse people are looking for - from quality fencing, water and pasture management through to arena space, float access and proximity to riding communities and events.
Samantha has also owned and operated her own production nursery on acreage in the Northern Rivers and previously served on the NSW Nursery & Garden Industry Board. This hands-on experience gives her a practical understanding of rural businesses, land management, water infrastructure, compliance requirements and the many factors that contribute to a property's long-term value. She brings both a business mindset and a genuine appreciation for the rural lifestyle.
Having lived in the Northern Rivers for many years, Samantha is actively involved in the local community and also serves as an on-call firefighter with Alstonville Fire Station. Her strong local connections, genuine approach and understanding of country living help her connect the right buyers with the right properties.
With more than 20 years of experience in marketing, communications and project management, Samantha brings a strategic and personalised approach to every campaign. Having bought, sold and renovated properties herself over the past 20 years, she understands the emotions and decisions involved in every move.
Most importantly, Samantha understands that rural and equine properties aren't just real estate - they are homes for families, businesses, horses and other animals. Whether you're selling a cherished family farm, searching for your dream horse property, or looking for acreage that suits your lifestyle, she is committed to making the process as smooth, rewarding and enjoyable as possible.
