Fingal Head, or 'Fingal Village' as it's known, is the last frontier in quiet, community-minded beachside living in the Northern Rivers. The village, with only around 240 houses, is surrounded by protected reserves. The lifestyle in Fingal is like no other. On one side, the iconic Tweed River system provides river living and boating access to the ocean, only minutes from the boat ramp. On the other side, the postcard-worthy Fingal Headland, Dreamtime Beach, Cook Island, and Pacific Ocean await.
2 Elizabeth Street, in Fingal Head, was first registered as a lot in 1911. The 1,012 m² lot has three-street frontages and is positioned in one of the most elevated areas of the village. It is also one of the last lots before you enter the headland and lighthouse reserve, and it is one of the largest lots in Fingal Head.
Today's owners first purchased the lot in 1991 (33 years ago) and in 2001 cleared the original cottage to build the beautiful bespoke home we see today. This 23-year-old home was built by award-winning builder Steve Kerr, a local luxury home builder. Kerr also won an award for this home in the 'North Coast Home of the Year'.
Today, the home is just as impressive. The use of recycled hardwood timber and Himalayan stone tiling throughout gives the home a warm and comforting feel. Perched high on the hill, it's almost like living in your own luxury treehouse.
Agent's Notes:
This really is one of the best-positioned lots in all of Fingal Head. There are other lots in Fingal over 1,000 m², or closer to the beach, or more elevated. But there are no other 1,000+ m² lots that are elevated and have three-street frontage. This is what gives the home that feeling of being in your very own piece of private and secluded paradise.
For those looking at growth opportunities, the existing home is positioned against the eastern boundary of the lot (along Bambery Street), making way for a potential subdivision and/or second dwelling/duplex to neatly fit along the western boundary (Elizabeth Street) while still opening all areas to the northern aspect. All are subject to council approval, of course.
After over 40 years in Fingal Head, today's owners have decided to welcome new owners to enjoy this truly unique property. They have secured their new home and are committed to selling.
