This magnificent mudbrick and timber home set on approximately 15.5 acres (6.2ha) fronting the Never Never River was a labour of love constructed by talented tradies in 1992. With a memorable mountain vista to the north, this handcrafted home is solar passive and offers three bedrooms, two bathrooms and opulent open plan living, dining and kitchen with lots of glass to bring those mountain views and winter sun directly to you. The separate guest accommodation also comes with bathroom and toilet, the storage shed is a great space and the Never Never Riverfront is yet another asset for this artistic home.

View from the house

The driveway from Roses Road through the forest, just reinforces that feeling of "leaving the world behind" as you wind your way to this special house site, close to the river and enjoying some of the best Bellingen has to offer in terms of aspect and views. Park in the double carport and soak up those views as you cross the paved, covered verandahs and step onto the low maintenance slate tiles that extend throughout this home, providing the ideal solar passive environment.

Mountain views

The open plan living/dining/kitchen enjoys an idyllic aspect and views throughout, and the slow combustion log burner makes for cosy comfort on cool winter nights. The craftsmanship in this home is evident everywhere and you will find many leadlight features throughout. The timber kitchen offers plenty of bench and cupboard space, pantry, gas oven and grill, gas cooktop, dishwasher and double sink with, of course, beautiful views.

There’s no such thing as a square room in this home and the main bedroom (sort of 4x5m) enjoys mountain views and direct access through timber and glass sliders to a paved patio.  The ensuite bathroom offers shower, vanity and dual flush toilet and there’s another timber and leadlight door providing direct access to the paved and covered verandah on the other side.

Bedroom two (sort of 4x4m) offers plenty of space and bedroom three (sort of 3x4m) also enjoys dual access and another interesting shape.  The main bathroom offers a luxuriously large separate shower and bath together with timber vanity and feature leadlight and timber windows, while the main toilet shares its space with the laundry, complete with timber bench and cupboards; with the double linen press nearby.

The separate guest accommodation (approx 8x9m) is timber and offers kitchenette, bathroom, dining, living and bedroom with covered, north facing verandah – an ideal space for guests, granny’s or touchy teenagers.  The storage shed enjoys a concrete slab and lots of natural light through north facing windows as well as a roller door that would allow for use as a single lock up garage if that better suited your needs or it would also make a great workshop space.

The peace, privacy and serenity provided by this property is second to none with the enchanting chirping of birds providing a beautiful background all year long.  You could be forgiven for forgetting that there is another world out there while you are here lapping up those luscious mountain views and enjoying the other various wildlife visits that will be a feature of your life if you’re lucky enough to live here.

When summer arrives and many others are travelling some distance to get to swimming holes, your swimming hole is just down the hill on the legendary Never Never River.  What better place to spend hot summer days with a picnic lunch or return to your naturally cool, solar passive, mudbrick home for some favourite food and refreshments before heading back for more of the Never Never magic.

...Oh alright, then!

The abundance of native flora and fauna here is a constant delight and with a roughly 50/50 mixture of cleared and timbered land including two rare rainforest pockets you will enjoy peace and privacy and plenty of precious time in this rural retreat.  You’ll also enjoy your own fruit including mangos, citrus, avocados, macadamias and more.

So if this sounds like your dream property, it possibly is, so call to view at a time to suit you.
