Situated just 1.5km from the village of Nimbin, this wood and iron home has a total of about 180 square metres of liveable space, including decks. The block is 2000 square metres, but it feels bigger having verges 8m plus wide on three sides. Only one side has an adjoining neighbour’s block.

It’s a very quiet place to live with no through roads in the community or nearby. The many birds are most likely the ones to wake you in the morning. The birdbath will be staying with the property!

If you live here you’ll become part of a friendly community which is based around permaculture principles. It is under Community Title – similar to Strata Title – so yes, the banks will lend against it. Not a Multiple Occupancy. In addition, there’s 30 acres of communal land with a shed, community centre, dams and some short walking trails. There’s even a waterfall after rain.

Roads to and within the community are all sealed.

On the main level, the house has two bedrooms, one with built-in-robes, as well as the refurbished bathroom, a composting toilet and the kitchen/dining area. There’s also a sunroom which leads onto the 3m wide deck with views of Nightcap National Park, Lillian Rock and beyond to the Border Ranges National Park. A servery window connects the kitchen with the deck for easy food/drink transfer and entertaining.

You’ll be entranced by the camphor laurel benchtops and the wood heater keeps the winter chill at bay.

The large upstairs loft is a wonderful light-filled space currently used as a casual office. A juliet balcony lets you look out toward the west and the north.

Next to the front door on another deck is a laundry cupboard making the whole house very practical and best utilising the available space.

Throughout are polished timber floors with white gyprocked rooms. Bamboo matting between Oregon beams line the whole length of the 45 degree pitched roof.

Three 5,000gal (22,500 litre) tanks make sure you won’t run out of water, or have a water bill. One of the tanks is fed off the garage roof on the high side of the block letting you gravity feed water for the garden or top up the other two tanks, under the house, if necessary.

There is 1.5kW of grid-interactive solar panels so your power bill will be small or maybe you’ll even have a credit.

An oversized 7m x 5m x 3m garage is big enough for any car as well as giving ample storage and workshop space. And there’s plenty of off street parking.

The yard has been tamed and is low maintenance. There’s lots of possibilities if you have a green thumb. At different times of the year the owners enjoy bananas, bush nuts, citrus, star fruit, mango, jaboticaba, black zapote (yes, a chocolate pudding tree!), guava and others.

Nimbin is a small but bustling village with a hospital, cafes, restaurants, schools, the library truck comes once a week, free swimming pool, farmer’s market, art gallery, World Heritage Sites nearby, the School of Arts puts on regular events showcasing all sorts of great talent and it’s the home of the world-famous Mardi Grass.
