From the very moment you drive onto this property, you know you’re in a special place. From the calming silence only broken by a nearby bird, to the clean air and filtered sun breaking through the gum trees, this timber-accented home with expansive green spaces and fully fenced paddocks on 16 flat acres has you immediately taking deeper breaths, having clearer thoughts and the reminder that life is pretty good.

Approaching the house itself, you’d be forgiven for being quick to judge this book by its cover with the charming external presentation of the iron roof, chimney and long timber verandas down the full length of the home akin to an oversize cabin offering year round comfort, but there are still a number of pleasant surprises to come.

A central hallway interconnects the elongated home, with the master bedroom plus en-suite at one end, which then opens out to the living spaces at the other end featuring high raked ceilings, air-conditioning and brick combustion fireplace. The walk-through kitchen is well appointed, naturally illuminated by skylights and serviced by a large walk-in pantry.

But it’s the additional screened entertaining room that draws you out into it and refocuses your attention to the external beauty of the property and the adjacent fenced pool sunk below the open deck. All four bedrooms have built-in robes and both of the bathrooms have been completely renovated simultaneously with a beautiful matching theme of colours and textures in line with the existing timbers and earthy tones.

There’s solar hot water, a 2-bay shed, carport, chook pen, stable, vegetable garden and the fenced paddocks are ready for anything from horses and cows to sheep, goats and alpacas.

This level home on flat land is truly a lifestyle property in a lifestyle location with access to fishing, BBQ and boat ramp on the Richmond River only 5km’s away or 11km’s to the beach. It’s 8.5km’s to the Pacific Highway, 16km’s to the nearest supermarket and within 30km’s to the major regional centres of Ballina and Lismore with direct flights to and from Sydney, Newcastle and Melbourne.
