This rare retreat set on 5 healing riverfront acres offers a recently renovated home with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, open plan living and north facing kitchen, together with a separate western red cedar cabin perched near the river just waiting on gyprock to finish it off. The healing energy, abundant wildlife and pure spring water make this property very special indeed.

As you enter this property through the post and rail fence you immediately feel at ease and at peace. The luscious green grass, the abundant food and fruit trees the majestic National Park and the sound of the river flowing at the property’s edge are all part of the ‘magic’ that is this property.

The home was recently renovated and is ideally sited on the block to enjoy the northerly aspect and to keep its feet well and truly dry in the biggest of floods.  You enter the living area via one of two covered patios and step into a beautifully open space with tiles throughout that are both attractive and practical. The kitchen is fantastic with lots of bench and cupboard space, pantry, double sink, dishwasher, gas cook top, electric oven and beautiful views to the north, through the adjoining dining room and over the picturesque property to the river and the National Park beyond.

The main bedroom (4m x 4.5m) is spacious and carpeted with large built-in robe and reverse cycle air conditioner.  Bedroom 3 (3m x 4.5m) adjoins and is also carpeted with its own external access to the covered patio.  Bedroom 2 (3.5m x 4.5m) is also carpeted, with plenty of space, reverse cycle air conditioner and a lovely outlook to the back courtyard.

The open plan living area provides 2 distinct areas that work like a TV room plus a sitting room which enjoys that delightful cosy feeling in winter of the slow combustion wood burning fire.  The home is fully insulated and easily stays cool in summer and warm in winter - an absolute gem in this magical valley. There is a central bathroom/laundry with adjustable height shower head over a lovely deep bath, with vanity, mirrored cabinet and dual flush toilet, while the second bathroom offers shower, vanity and dual flush toilet.

The western red cedar cabin could easily be a self contained studio/guest house with water and power already connected.  Virtually everything is new from the ground up just awaiting the gyprock and finishing touches.  The cabin is perched over the river with magnificent views, well away from the house.

Whilst the improvements here are fantastic the land and surrounding environment are where the beauty and healing energy really lie.  There’s heaps of food on the property including mature oranges, mandarins, tangerines, guava, ice cream bean, kiwi fruit, passion fruit, lime, lemon, japoti carva, macadamia, pecan plus recently planted pear, lychee, mulberry, red and yellow grapefruit, walnut, custard apple, jackfruit, mango and chestnut, and of course the ever productive veggie garden.

The water here is absolutely amazing – there is a 10,000 gallon tank gravity fed from the head of a natural spring high in the forest and the river water is pristine and clear, a delight to swim in, fish or drink. The river is home to abundant fish, turtles and platypus.  The trees and the sky are home to birds of all varieties, their song is simply delightful as they dart, glide and soar in this special place.  There are lots of frogs – a very healthy sign – and even glow worms at night to keep you in awe.

In short this property is incredibly rare – a healing retreat set amidst the most amazing natural flora and fauna, just 25 minutes from Bellingen and 50 minutes from Coffs Airport.  It is refreshing and rejuvenating and it is easy to rejoice in the majesty of this place.
