This property sits on 7 1/2 acres on the Dorrigo escarpment and is the oldest property on Mountain Top Road! It consists of a very private spacious home with loads of charm and character and separate 2 bedroom cottage/studio – 5 bedrooms in all – with potential income from studio. Both houses have gas heating, car parking and sheds.

Tank water is assured all year round, with the average annual rainfall being 60 inches. The property has permanent access to spring water and the rich, red basalt soil will grow anything in this cool climate – comfortably sunny summers and cold winters. 4 acres are professionally landscaped, mature gardens and there are 3 1/2 acres of pristine rainforest.

The gardens are very special and would “exceed any regional botanic garden in species diversity”. There are more than 200 camellias and magnolias, and 1000′s of bulbs and dozens of different varieties of daffodils. This is in addition to the many rare and unusual plants that have been incorporated in this keen gardener and bird lover’s paradise.

The “backbone” of the garden boasts mature bunyas, persimmons, china pear, Chinese elm, liquid ambers, silky oaks, a dawn redwood, Japanese cedar and maples, a Monterey cypress, an ash, a very large tulip tree, hoop pines, cedars, evergreen and deciduous magnolias, camellias and dozens of fruit and nut trees; walnuts, apples, pears, plums, nectarines, almond, peach, oranges, mandarins, grapefruits and lemons.

This is a wild garden that ties in well with the rainforest, which is undisturbed except for weed removal around the boundary. Any plants that could become potential weeds have been avoided.

So, are you ready for this wonderful new lifestyle just 4 km to Dorrigo (where there is a small hospital), 16 km to Bellingen, 45 minutes to the best beaches on the north coast and only an hour to the centre of Coffs Harbour, the jet airport and university campus ….. and there are national parks in every direction!

The wonderful alternative ….. part time or full time.
