You will just know that this is the place for you when you visit this private and secluded 241 acre retreat, nestled in the Caldera of Mt Warning, Northern New South Wales. It lies below the western rim of the QLD/NSW Border Ranges.

This is the last property at the end of a country road, the land runs up into the face of the escarpment of the range, and you literally have the Border Ranges for your backyard, ‘wrapping around’ it, with iconic features like The Pinnacle, The Cockscomb and Mt Warning all viewable from many vantage points across the property.

After a slightly rugged approach, a serene and tranquil paradise awaits you. There is a back and front garden, that needs some care, a vegetable garden and an 18 treed orchard. This property is set in a drought free, frost free area. It has several intermittent watercourses that run through the land plus a permanent creek on the boundary – the water reticulation system is set up to gravity-feed from the creek to the house – so you have an unlimited gravity fed supply of mountain water! There are also 5 concrete water tanks on the property, of which only two have ever been needed. There are pockets of rain forest and a lagoon high up on one of the ridges.

Most of this property is accessible via well formed logging tracks. The land is predominately forest with small, selected areas cleared; the balance of the property is steep and only really suitable as nature reserve – as you would imagine native wildlife abounds here. The property also owns satellite Broadband, currently under month to month contract with 30 days notice to be given. 2 gigs for $39.95 per month or 1 gig for $29.95 per month.

The house is a large, federation style ranch, built of Burleigh Buff split face Besser block aggregate fully water proof block. The dwellings footings were poured in 1984 and work has been going on ever since. The house still has a few things need finishing off. It features 3 bedrooms plus a sitting room as well as a family room and a large loft/studio area upstairs. The master bedroom is spacious and also has a fire/stove. Kitchen has both gas stove and Maxi-logger stove. The sitting room dining area has high raked Western Red Cedar ceiling, as does the attic, which would make a lovely winter day sitting room. Verandas right around, the self-sufficient home is powered by a state of the art solar system with new battery banks and inverter and fits ideally into its environment with a private, elevated, sunny and perfect north-easterly aspect and location. Solar hot water of course and near new gas hot water system back up for those prolonged over-cast days.

This location is within 10 minutes of the historic Tweed Valley village of Tyalgum, around 25 minutes to Murwillumbah and 55 minutes to Tweed Heads, the Gold Coast Airport, Coolangatta and Tweed & Gold Coast beaches.
