45 Forest Drive, Repton
Flattened 360 degree image - Hand crafted & lovingly landscaped

 

This 3 bedroom home is handcrafted from solid half round timber slabs and set on a lovingly landscaped block of around 1.5acres featuring giant clumping bamboo. Offering a northerly aspect, polished timber floors, claw foot bath and covered verandahs on 4 sides, this property instantly says 'peace & privacy with coastal curves' just 5 minutes to the beach or river and 15 minutes to Coffs Harbour or Bellingen - an ideal location for work or play.

Whilst inspired by the classic Australian slab hut, this home has a level of finish and quality of workmanship that elevates it to a class of its own. Set on lush undulating grounds with absolute privacy, plenty of sun and lovely cool sea breezes, it offers an earthy character akin to a fine red wine.

The 3 bedrooms are all double rooms and the polished timber floors run right throughout the house, including the bedrooms and even the bathroom. The kitchen enjoys a beautiful view over the park like land, and offers plenty of timber cupboards and benches as well as a feature stone bench top, a gas cook top and an electric oven. The bathroom offers plenty of space and features a lovely big claw foot bath, just perfect for those long luxurious soaks.

The living area also enjoys that beautiful outlook over the garden and spills onto the covered verandahs, resplendent with bougainvillea and a favourite place to relax all year round. Although the internal living area itself is not huge, the covered verandahs on 4 sides provide plenty of living space that's ideal for the classic coastal climate of Repton.

Outside there's a double carport and a garden shed/workshop while the 1.5 acres of land has been planted out to provide maximum privacy and plenty of opportunities to find a peaceful spot to read your book. It provides a delightful outlook, there's a great BBQ area and there's plenty of room for big kids or little kids to play.

If the beach is your thing, it's just a 5 minute drive through Bongil Bongil National Park to the beautifully private Tuckers Rock Beach, which then stretches almost endlessly to the north past Bundagen to Sawtell Creek or to the south past North Beach and all the way to that magic place where the Bellinger river, the Kalang River and the Pacific Ocean meet. Beach fishing and surfing are popular pastimes around here, as well as beach walks and early morning dips.

If the river is more your thing it's just a 5 minute drive to the Bellinger River and fishing, water skiing, canoeing swimming or just plain relaxing. The North Beach Bowling Club provides great food, well priced drinks and a popular community meeting place, as well as all weather tennis courts with night lights and some of the best river and mountain views you'll see anywhere in Australia.
