There are many that desire a small cottage on a few lush acres in the countryside that is completely off grid and within 5 km of awesome Mullumbimby township. Back in 1970, after pushing your Kombi the last leg from the rat race you escaped from, achieving this vision was super easy.... but fast forward to 2023 and to find that dream, at an affordable price, is near on impossible!
Well here is the opportunity of a lifetime to secure this beautiful 5 acre property which is part of a total of the 160 acre Multiple Occupancy. Nestled in its own secret valley at the end of a well maintained internal access road and in a hidden and very private part of the entire MO, this particular acreage is stand out for its sense of calmness, tranquility and bird/ wildlife. With an original small cottage as well as a separate modern tiny home, this is paradise for all those seeking an alternate life whilst having everything you need and more.
With complete self sufficiency on offer with the only connection to the outside world being an internet phone line, if you choose to use it, and the road that only takes 5-10 minutes to main street Mullumbimby. You would honestly believe you are as far from anywhere when on the property. Self sufficiency with rainwater into large water tanks, ample stand alone solar battery setup and established fruit trees being just the beginning of your life adventure of disconnecting and reconnecting.
The 5 acres has a small, humble hardwood cottage featuring lounge with wood heater, kitchen with gas cooking and one small room. Outside is a covered deck that leads to another bedroom/rumpus and outdoor bath and shower area to bathe under the star filled sky. Fruit trees dot the property and share space with native trees. There is plenty of open spaces for kids and adults to play, swing and sing! There is a sunlight filled, modern, self contained and thoughtfully designed tiny home with own internal shower, positioned up away from the cottage, giving good separation.
This tightly held Multiple Occupancy, which is called Durrumbul Holdings, is considered one of the best in the Byron Shire, many believe, with such a large 160 acre land ownership overall which enabled all 14 in total of the 5 acre allotments within it to have privacy, separation and boundaries onto nature within the holding. This specific property is very special in the sense that it is a hidden gem very much at the heart of the 160 acres.
The vast majority of the lots have never been sold by their original owners which is testimony to how well the holding is loved and if you sit still on a quiet, star filled night, its easy to imagine time not existing at all.
(Note: Traditional mortgage lending is difficult with all MO purchases so the need for finance clauses are not acceptable / The MO constitution states no dogs and cats)
