Elegant Contemporary House on 3 Titles – All with Dwelling Entitlements

Drive through Bellingen along Waterfall Way to Thora. Enjoy the lush country side, intermittent river views and the pure, unpolluted air. Turn left into Darkwood Road (opposite the Thora Store) and travel about 15 minutes to one of the most glorious working properties in the valley.

This magnificent working farm of 80 hectares (approximately 200 acres) consists of three separate titles and fronts onto the pristine Bellinger River. Each title has its own dwelling entitlement and this provides for future subdivision if you desire. The lots are 21 hectares, 40 hectares and 19 hectares.

The spacious, north facing, 4 bedroom, architecturally designed (Bill Hawkshaw) double brick colonial house on the central parcel of land was built by well known and respected builder, Ray Nolan. The stunning sunlit open living areas (approximately 13m2 x 10m2) and French doors leading from most rooms onto 3 metre wide verandas, capture stunning valley and mountain views.

There is a full bathroom with toilet. Built of double brick in the best quality Armidale bricks with matching grouting, terracotta flooring features in all the living areas and the bedrooms are carpeted. All doors and window surrounds are built of wood. The ceilings are high and fitted with fans for the summer months and for winter warming there is an open, brick fireplace which warms the living area and the main bedroom (through hidden vents inbetween the bricks).

The kitchen is very functional and includes a Rayburn wood stove and oven, a walk-in pantry and plenty of cupboards and work bench areas.

Additional features of the house include a 1 acre landscaped garden with various fruit and ornamental trees and shrubs including a garden folly, insulated ceilings, undercover parking for 3 cars, 15 ft high blue gum ceilings, satellite dish for internet and television, built-ins in all bedrooms, internal laundry with storage space and toilet, a computer/office nook in one of the bedrooms and a large open workshop.

Farmwise, there is a huge, hidden water tank for the cattle, irrigation, garden and general use and a rainwater tank looks after the kitchen’s needs. There is also a medium size shed for machinery and maintenance tools and a larger shed for the tractor, pumps and slasher. All machinery is included in the price of the property.

Finally, there is a separate and private pioneer cottage overlooking the pristine Bellinger River, with power and water connected. This consists of 1 bedroom and a sleepout, a kitchen and bathroom/toilet and it is heated by a slow combustion stove.

While this property is already approved for sub-division, its charm and appeal is that, once past the deep soil grazing river flats, it resides in a crucible of trees and distant mountains as far as the eye can see. One is Lord of all one surveys. This privacy, uniqueness and exclusivity, plus the right for other dwellings (if one so wished) makes it a rare property in a paradise-like setting.

There are good deep swimming holes on the property, the home to the rare Emydura Turtle and four families of Platypus.

And not least, the last bonus is the 11 Megalitre water license from the river for all your agricultural needs.

Come on, now you have the chance of owning your very own heaven on earth… now!
