Set on 82 acres, this property is secluded and convenient to town, being just five minutes’ drive from the heart of Bellingen township, 10 minutes to beautiful beaches, and just 25 minutes to Coffs Harbour jet airport.
The narrow winding road to this beautiful property delivers you to an oasis. The road has very little traffic and is quite safe at reasonable speeds. The property has just 2 neighbours, both over half a mile away so there is peace and quiet and total privacy. With the completion of the highway update next year, Sydney will be a predictable and safe drive of well under 5 hrs.
This two storey grand residence sits on a ridge and captures the ocean breeze making it 5 degrees cooler in summer than the surrounding districts, and 5 degrees warmer in winter. Wake up and find yourself in the clouds, sitting above the fog in the valley floor, or watch the storms roll in across the valley and the constantly changing vista against the massive mountain backdrop.
The house was owner built and this is the first time offered in nearly 30 years and boasts extensive engineering that would be prohibitively expensive to undertake today. The house is also already connected to the NBN.
The hallway leads through to a massive open plan entertaining area so your whole family can be part of this glorious layout and never feel apart from the hub of what’s happening. To add to the extraordinary location, the polished timber floors are a feature and the huge feature windows allow you and your family to always enjoy the absolutely stunning views as well as letting in lots of light.
The kitchen offers plenty of bench space along with excellent appliances. It is well positioned to take advantage of the living/dining room and ensures you have easy access to your outdoor entertaining areas.
Every aspect of this unique house is tied to your view including the in-ground swimming pool overlooking the township of Bellingen and spectacular mountains beyond.
There are 3 substantial bedrooms plus a dedicated study. Two of the bedrooms have generous walk in closets and open onto the wide verandah. The main bathroom, with its separate toilet facing a bold floor-to-ceiling window, offers a unique perspective of the bush.
Downstairs, the massive three-bay garage allows plenty of storage space for tools and toys. The laundry is conveniently located complete with a downstairs bathroom.
The fully fenced pastures offer cattle and horse grazing – either agist for your neighbour, breed some of your own, grow some vegetables or simply soak up the beauty. There is this four-bay shed with attached stables and corral. This rolling countryside offers various picturesque perspectives, including delightful views of the three placid dams.
This hilltop sanctuary with its commanding view of the Bellinger River and the ever-changing rain-forested mountains of the great divide is perfect. No matter which way you turn, the view is jaw dropping.
It is unlikely that you will have seen a property in the shire which offers such a magnificent outlook over the mountains, ocean and Bellinger valley. As they say in real estate, houses depreciate and land appreciates, and you’d be hard pressed to find anything that can compare, and yet be so accessible
Please phone to arrange an inspection – this beautiful property really is quite extraordinary.
