This magical mudbrick home set on 1.25 acres (4770sqm) of rare river reserve land has been lavished with love from the day it was conceived. Built in mudbrick & timber with leadlight, stone and mosaic features it offers 3 bedrooms, split level, open plan living/dining/kitchen, polished timber floors’ high ceilings and lots of great flat land leading to the river reserve and one of the best swimming holes in Bellingen. In a quiet cul-de-sac just 1km easy walk to town this is a very special place.

As you arrive at this property you won’t see much, the thickly planted natives provide a great privacy screening from the road and a perfect playground for lots of birds. As you continue through the side gate you are greeted with a character filled, covered deck with un-milled logs for handrails and feature leadlight & timber windows set into the mudbrick wall.

Inside you will find polished timber floors, a feature crystal infused granite wall, beautiful high ceilings and a dining area that opens onto a paved courtyard with feature blue glass bottles in the retaining walls. The kitchen is spacious with bloodwood slab bench tops, timber serving windows to the north opening onto the patio, double sink, pantry, gas cooktop and oven, and a beautiful painted view to the ocean, complete with seagull.

From here take the 4 steps down into the living room and marvel at the beautiful mosaic work on the stairs. The living room is spacious (4 x 7m) with a round leadlight window, an arched feature window, big timber and glass sliders onto the covered deck, and hand sculpted tealight candle nooks set into the mudbrick wall – creating a beautiful ambience all year round and perfectly teamed with the slow combustion log burner in winter.

The 3 bedrooms all have built in robes and polished timber floors, two have direct access to outside and the main bedroom enjoys a lovely ‘rural view’ over the back paddock to the tree lined riverbank and the rolling hills beyond. The bathroom is quite amazing with sunken bath and overhead shower, timber hand basin surround, separate toilet, more leadlight windows and featuring carefully selected river stones. The laundry shares the bathroom space and has direct access to the patio and washing line.

There is so much to talk about here but space is running out so let’s look to the outside. This home sits in a flood free position looking over the lush river flats that make a great soccer field and are sensitively planted with natives along each boundary. At the end of the ‘yard’ you’ll find another special treat – the swimming hole - known to locals as ‘the point’ this is the only property to have it just at the bottom of the yard. It’s big and it’s deep with rope swings and sandy river banks and it’s the perfect place on hot summer days.

In summary, we have an amazing 3 bedroom timber and mudbrick home with loads of very special features in a quiet cul-de-sac, set privately amid lots of natives, just a stroll down the backyard to the river, or an easy 1km walk into Bellingen.
