Easy Street Retreat is situated in the lush Thora valley, just west of Bellingen.
You will love this easily managed 5 acres with frontage to the Bellinger River. You and your family will sit on the verandah and gaze at the absolutely glorious views over the river to the Bellinger River National Park.
As you drive through the classic timber gates and enter the beautifully manicured 5 acres you are welcomed by an array of fruit trees and tropical gardens.
Weave down to the end of the driveway and you get to the magnificent main home surrounded by beautiful gardens and perched overlooking the breathtaking Bellinger River.
When you enter this master built home your eyes just get drawn straight through the large windows to the river and you immediately feel peaceful. The main home is a pavilion style home designed around enjoying the river. Every room has a special view over the river and the verandas wrap all the way around the home.
The open plan kitchen, dining and lounge are very spacious with polished timber floors and high cathedral timber ceilings and loads of windows and timber sliding doors to bring the outside in.
The chef of the family will love the spacious kitchen boasting an imported French Lacanche cooker with 4 gas hotplates, gas simmer plate and three electric fan forced ovens.
Head through the large timber doors out to the very large covered timber deck and you realise this is the area where you would spend most of your time watching the Bellingen river flow past.
The main bedroom is generous in size with views of the river, walk in wardrobe, and access to the verandah.
There is a lovely bathroom with garden views and a special deep bath for you to soak in after a day in paradise.
The second wing of the pavilion is currently being used as guest accommodation; it offers a kitchen, dining, lounge, large bedroom and art studio workshop with great views to the river.
A short stroll through the garden on a path to river and there you’ll find a spectacular deep swimming hole to cool off in the warmer months.
The home has back to grid solar and solar hot water and water is gravity fed from a mountain spring to two 20,000 litre tanks. It’s free, sweet, pure and plentiful. You’ll never buy bottled water again.
Accommodation lifestyle business:
Easy Street Retreat is one of the few properties in the area which is council approved to accommodate up to 14 people, and is certainly the only one licensed to do so along Darkwood Road.
At present 2 out of the three cottages are let to holiday makers. There are listings with Stayz, AirBnB, and Mid North Coast Tourism and the property consistently receives 5 star reviews.
Should you choose to continue the accommodation business, it’s seasonal, easy to operate and provides an opportunity to meet people from all walks of life whilst providing a handy income. Alternatively, you may want to configure the property’s numerous options in a different way.
Please phone Rain to arrange an inspection of this quite amazing property.
