This is a rare opportunity for anybody not frightened to take on a project so they can reap the benefits. Located in one of the oldest and quietest parts of Bellingen, it’s just 400m from the hospital entrance and 850m from the middle of town. It's a simply fantastic location with sweeping views, peace, privacy and proximity to all that Bellingen has to offer including cafes, boutique shops, tennis courts, hospital, playing fields, schools and more.

The house itself is a simple format with a large covered deck adjoining the living area and both enjoying those panoramic mountain views, while the kitchen also enjoys the views and the breezes. The 3 bedrooms are all a reasonable size with a small central bathroom and separate toilet. All rooms need repairs of some description and around half the timber flooring needs replacing. A quote for approximately $70K (excluding painting) has been provided by a local builder to repair & restore the property to the way it was before the fire, and the builder estimates the painting would cost an additional $7,000 although of course you could always do it yourself.

Separate to the house is a single lock up garage with laundry underneath that were both untouched by the fire and the garden offers a fantastic variety of trees and shrubs including camellias, a mango, mandarines, oranges, lemons, an avocado and a great enclosed veggie garden with rich soil in a well drained set up.

In short, for this property you could talk about location, location, location, or you could apply the “worst house, best street” formula either way it offers an amazing opportunity to the brave hearted buyer. Don't hesitate to inspect this property if you're looking for a value buy in today's market - a rare opportunity that can only be taken up once.
