‘Daphne’ is the original homestead of the landmark property Dum Dum Farm, now operating as Mount Warning Estate and she is proudly strutting her stuff after restoration.
Located 10 minutes from the heart of Murwillumbah ‘Daphne’ is sited on a gentle rise with stunning views of Hattons Bluff and Mount Wollumbin (Warning).
The fabulous outlook can be indulgently enjoyed on the expansive deck with sliding glass doors that disappear into the wall providing the best of indoor/outdoor living.
Period features abound including stunning pressed metal ceilings, colour glass and transom windows, tongue and groove walls and hardwood timber floors. High ceilings and ample windows bathe all rooms in natural light and ventilation.
The homestead offers 2 bedrooms, the master featuring French doors out to the front verandah. The loungeroom is grand also offering French doors to the verandah and an inviting combustion heater. The dining room is framed by art deco fretwork and comes complete with chandelier. The kitchen has a massive eating area and there is a separate room that could be utilized as a walk in pantry.
The third bedroom is in the ‘Fruitery’, a separate building adjacent to the homestead where back in the day fruit was stored when the farm was working to capacity. This room would also make a great home office with views to the bluff and across a section of the orchard to paddocks.
The majority of the acreage and the orchard is maintained by the owners once a week and a small section of grounds are the responsibility of the tenants.
The home comes complete with filtered spring water, WIFI and a location that really must be seen to be believed.
Invitations to view will be scheduled once completed applications have been submitted and processed. Sorry – no cats or dogs.
