The home is situated on an incredible ridge-top position, offering northerly mountain views over the fertile Kalang River flats. Enjoy a cooling swim in the river, with over 600m of river frontage, fish, or simply sit on the riverbank and read a book in the serene atmosphere. The majority of the land is cleared and currently used for cattle and is ideal for horses, making it the perfect property for many “Wishlist’s” of acres close to Bellingen. Despite its proximity to Bellingen’s cafes, boutiques, clubs, pub, etc., the privacy is delightful and it’s hard to believe you are just four minutes’ drive away.

The property is easily accessible via a sealed road from Bellingen’s town centre. When you arrive, you’ll find a comfortable home in a private position, suitable for a large family due to the separated East and West wings. The grand entry, mountain views, architect-designed high ceilings, timber, and lots of windows to allow natural light all combine to create a sense of luxury.
Inside the home, the large modern country kitchen features quality stone and oak bench tops, 2 stove Belling Cooker with gas cook top and a walk-in pantry. Louvre windows, and timber-lined cathedral ceilings are a feature throughout this home. The two living areas both feature French and sliding doors that access the verandah and house yard beyond and look out to the below paddock, serene mountain and densely populated tree backdrop which is a feature of this unique property.
Reverse cycle air conditioning, slow combustion log burners for the cooler months, and ceiling fans throughout the home provide year-round comfort. Outside, there’s plenty of space for the kids and pets to run around, and perfect for family gatherings around the fire pit as you watch the sun go down and listen to the orchestra of unique amphibian species. A mature lone red cedar tree provides shade from the northerly aspect in the warmer months and is the perfect spot for soaking up the surrounds of the mountains, rare bird species, and marsupials.
The property is fully fenced, with six paddocks, and further showcases a 1.5kw solar power system, 2 stall stable, tack room, and cattle yards. There is also a well maintained metal stock-yard with new cattle crush and loading ramp. This property is perfect for anyone with an interest in being self-sufficient.
