The striking scene on arrival at this property is of peacocks strutting their stuff around the beautifully designed, established gardens.

The 3 bedroom, weatherboard family residence and 2 bedroom studio both sit amid an acre of splendid, botanic-like gardens. The bull-nose roofing covering wide verandahs and high ceilings are reminiscent of its federation era.

There is also an informal tea house, wood and hay shed and under cover machinery parking “shed”, 2 extensive chicken houses with multiple rooms – and the remains of the huge tree that the original house was built from.

The living areas of the main house are heated in the short winter weeks by a large slow combustion wood fire and this warms the kitchen as well. All rooms lead to verandahs and gravelled, sunny courtyards – so there’s plenty of room for dining and entertaining in and around the dwelling.

The views from every window and deck are stunning ….. there are mountain views, garden views and river views! The gardens include Australian natives, exotics, sub-tropical fruit trees, camellias and dozens of varieties of bulbs and bromeliads, ferns and palms – the mix ensuring different colours all year round.

30 acres of the property are on the mountain side of the road and there are another 15 acres on the Bellinger River, you have the best of both worlds. It is under 20 minutes drive to the historic township of Bellingen, so you are close enough to fulfil your daily needs and yet far enough away to experience and peace and quiet of the country.

You will have peace of mind knowing that you will have plenty of water, with 2 creeks on the property, one with pure drinking water flowing direct from the mountains, 2 pumps, one on the creek and the other the river, complete with one new pump and pump houses. There are also rain water tanks, a dam and of course absolute frontage to the Bellinger River, with a fabulous swimming hole and great canoeing facilities.

Other assets of the property include timber and tile flooring in the main house, painted cement floors and spring-out windows in the studio, ceiling fans in all bedrooms and all rooms having direct access to different verandahs. There are 4 electrical boxes on different points of the property and 2 separate telephone lines (one in the house and the other in the separate accommodation/studio).

The property is fully fenced and there are many separate paddocks for either stock or produce growing.

The current owners must re-locate for business reasons and want this property sold; otherwise, they would live out their days in this magical piece of paradise.
