The elderly man was last seen on New Year's Eve moving equipment on his property in Nerrigundah, NSW Police say.

Officers had been unable to access the area until Monday when a large-scale land search located the man's body between a destroyed home and car.

Police believe the body is that of the 71-year-old but are awaiting formal identification.

A person from south of Bombala in the Far South Coast region remains missing.

Ten people have died in NSW bushfires in the past week. Another died on December 29 from serious burns sustained in a fire in November.
