2 Houses & Landscaped wildlife refuge gardens and rainforest …

This property sits on 7 1/2 acres and is the oldest property on Mountain Top Road! It consists of a very private 3 bedroom weatherboard and iron house and separate 2 bedroom western red cedar cottage/studio – 5 bedrooms in all – with potential income. 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 access to permanent spring water and the rich, red basalt soil will grow anything in this cool climate – comfortably sunny summers and cool 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 number of species. There are more than 150 camellias and magnolias, 1000′s of bulbs and hundreds of different varieties of daffodil. This is in addition to the many rare and unusual plants that have been incorporated in this keen garden 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, deodars, 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 5 minutes to Dorrigo (where there is a small hospital), 20 minutes to Bellingen, 40 minutes to the best beaches on the north coast and under 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.

The clean, pristine air and the clean, pristine water
The seclusion and peace
Well maintained 2 houses
The potential income
The simply stunning gardens
The country life, but with services not to far away
