This enchanting rainforest retreat on Darkwood Road is a truly special haven for nature lovers. Known as “Mudbilly,” the eco-friendly reclaimed timber and mudbrick home sits on approximately 52 acres of biodiverse land, offering a peaceful sanctuary less than 20 minutes from Bellingen. The home rests in a level clearing surrounded by gently undulating foothill forest, with walking tracks weaving through the landscape.
Enjoy a relaxed bushwalk beneath a lush canopy where you may spot lyrebirds, wallabies, and ancient Gondwana plant species thriving in the creek gully.
Thoughtfully designed to blend with its surroundings, the home features high vaulted ceilings that fill the living areas with natural light, while soft dappled sunlight creates a warm, tranquil atmosphere in the bedrooms. Selective clearing frames beautiful views of native flora from every room.
The productive garden includes established fruit trees, veggie beds, edible flowers, and abundant birdlife. Spend evenings around the campfire, entertain in multiple outdoor spaces, or simply enjoy a peaceful morning tea in the sun.
