Are you seeking refuge from the hustle and bustle of everyday life? Do you want to get away from it all, but still be close to all the amenities of town? Here’s your chance to buy a slice of paradise—a 33-acre sanctuary with its own rainforest and a studio cottage in an elevated position, offering stunning views over the valley to the ocean beyond. Hidden on the side of Buckombil Mountain, this magical haven is a million miles from care but only 10 minutes drive to the major regional centre of Ballina. Situated in the heart of a koala corridor, the property is home to an abundance of bird and other wildlife. With its lush rainforest, creeks and gullies, this hinterland hideaway provides all the ingredients for a simple, self-sufficient life. For the more ambitious buyer, there’s the potential to extend the home, apply for dual occupancy or develop an eco-tourism facility. Surrounded by a beautiful native garden and a vegetable plot, the colourful cottage offers all the comforts of home with a cosy bedroom, kitchen and open-plan living/dining area, leading out to a large front verandah with its spectacular outlook. A separate bathroom features a claw-foot bath and eco-friendly loo. Below the elevation lies an expanse of flat, cleared land with a spring-fed dam, suitable for cattle or horses. There’s also a spring at the top of the property. For inspections by appointment, call Andrew Nieuwenhof 0468740019
