This property sits majestically atop the Dorrigo Mountain with sweeping views of lush pasture and rich rainforest. The heritage homestead was fully renovated in 2006/7 and offers 4 bedrooms. 1 bathroom, generous, open plan living/dining/kitchen and wide covered verandahs on 3 sides. With approximately 90 acres cleared and 90 forested, it offers a great agricultural balance with 2 cattle yards, machinery, shed, good fencing and good water with Sandy’s Creek and a bore into a natural spring.

Arriving at this property, you will enjoy the vast vista that you can only get at the top of a mountain. The panorama is simply stunning and you will be hard pushed to draw yourself away as you step across wide (3m) verandahs and into the large open plan living/dining area (8 x 5m) featuring polished timber floors and lots of glass to ensure that you continue to enjoy those magnificent views.

The kitchen was replaced in 2007 and offers plenty of bench, cupboard and drawer space, with granite bench tops, pantry, gas cook top, electric oven, dishwasher and double sink with views that will make washing up an absolute pleasure. The laundry is cleverly concealed in a cupboard in the kitchen, close to the washing line and with a double laundry tub on the verandah.

The bathroom was also new in 2007 and offers a deep, separate bath, generous shower, timber and granite vanity, dual flush toilet and lots of natural light, with floor to ceiling tiles.

All the bedrooms are carpeted and the main bedroom offers plenty of space (4.4 x 3.5m) with timber windows, a wall of built-in robes and more of those magnificent views. Bedroom 2 (3.6 x 3.6m) also has a built-in robe along one wall while bedroom 3 (4.4 x 3.6m) and bedroom 4 (2.6 x 3.6m) don’t have built-in robes but do offer ample space.

That view again!

In the hallway you’ll find a large storage cupboard as well as a generous linen cupboard and, returning to the living areas, let’s not forget the large, slow-combustion log burner for those deliciously cool winter nights. There’s a custom-built entertainment system here as well, with a flat screen and perfectly positioned speaker system, all wired through the wall cavities.

The water here is fantastic with a bore into a natural spring providing water to the house and cattle troughs, and the permanent and picturesque Sandy’s Creek wending its way through the lower reaches of this pastoral paradise. The balance of cleared land and forested land is an ideal mix for lifestyle and environmentally sustainable agricultural pursuits, with lush paddocks and rich rainforest.

The fencing is all in good order and the irrigation lines to troughs etc. are buried well underground so as not to be a problem if ploughing or sowing crops. The machinery shed (10 x 10m) is a great space complete with power, lights and workbenches, while the oversized, single lockup garage is another handy space together with a storage shed and a chook/wood shed.

So, if you’re seeking a property with magnificent views and excellent lifestyle opportunities, this is well worth your attention. Ideal for horses, cattle or both, as well as many of the livestock and crop options, you could easily be virtually self-sufficient on this property. With a creek to call your own and wonderful walks through your own rainforest, you won’t soon tire of the vital variety available here.

Of course, the vast vista of panoramic views is likely to be the first and last major impression from this property, along with the classic heritage homestead offering easy living with old-world character and modern conveniences.
