This rural and rainforest riverfront retreat just 8km from Bellingen township offers both excellent cleared land for livestock and valuable timbered land, including rare rainforest patches and palm lined creeks. The existing home has been extensively renovated since 2009 and offers 3 bedrooms, open plan living/dining/kitchen, polished timber floors, high ceilings and covered deck. The land has also been greatly improved in the last 2 years and now offers good fencing, covered horse yards, sheds, workshop and fantastic, easy access swimming holes.

Riverfront!

You'll enjoy the bitumen road all the way to this property which will take you around 10 minutes (8kms) through timbered and cleared country, criss-crossing the Kalang River as you go. Just after Pearn's Bridge is where you'll find this well maintained property with landscaped house yard and river views.

You'll step through the front door onto lovely polished hardwood floors and high ceilings with high set, north facing windows to capture as much light as possible. The open plan arrangement flows onto the dining and kitchen area where the new kitchen offers reasonable bench and cupboard space, pantry, gas oven, cooktop and double sink looking north to the paddocks.

All the bedrooms enjoy a level of separation from each other and bedroom 3 (3 x 3.5m) in the SE corner enjoys delightful morning sun. Bedroom 2 (4.5 x 4m) is found up 3 steps and along a hall to the NW corner and enjoys delightful winter sun and views over paddocks to forest, while bedroom 1 (4 x 4m) also up 3 steps from the living area, enjoys a large additional study/robe area (3 x 3m) together with lovely views, winter sun and direct access to the NE covered deck.

The bathroom is centrally located and offers shower, vanity and separate toilet, with the compact laundry adjacent. This home is now very well insulated and stays cool in summer and warm in winter especially if you fire up the cast iron slow combustion log burner.

The land itself is a delightful mix of cleared and timbered country with approximately 18 acres cleared, and fenced into 5 paddocks with balance in timber including mature Tallowoods, Mahogany, Spotted Gum, Grey Gum, Ironbark, Coach wood and Black Butt as well as abundant rainforest species like Beech and Ash.  The paddocks are pasture improved, there are 2 dams and you’ll enjoy bountiful water. While the forest provides a great resource for building or fencing on the property and is a significant contributor to “carbon credits”, you may choose to selectively log some of the mature hardwoods available.  Needless to say you will have virtually endless supply of firewood for sale or personal use.  The tractor shed and workshop have power and lights and include 2 high quality, sealable containers which provide an idyllic environment for all those shed type jobs you’ll have on your new property.

Having your own riverfront is, of course a huge bonus for any property and this property has the added benefit of a river bend providing a perfectly private and deep swimming hole with easy access for those sultry summer swims.  The property is well set up for horses with covered yards and suitable fencing and if you like riding forest trails – the sky is the limit here – you’ll love it.

The current owners have established a track to a magnificent alternative house site with excellent elevation and expansive views and they have already had a fire rating report prepared.  If a new owner chose to build here the existing home would need to be converted to a studio status in order to transfer the permanent dwelling status to the new home.
