This 43 acre (17.4ha) property is just 9km (10 min drive) from the heart of Bellingen and offers a huge sandstone home (360m2 including verandahs) just 1 year old with 4 bedrooms plus study, separate 2 bedroom guest accommodation, 12 x 18m shed, 7 x 14m shed, 6 x 20m stables, over 1 km deep Kalang riverfront (navigable to the ocean), huge spring fed dam, 800m of Spicketts Creek running through property, mountain views, northerly aspect, good fences, 16Kva generator, 4-5Kva back to grid solar, 100,000 litre water storage, reverse cycle air conditioning and palpable peace and privacy with prime proximity to town.

When you first arrive at this property, you may not realize that from the time you crossed the Kalang River, all the river flats on your left are a part of this property. The possibilities for livestock or crops are almost endless with plentiful water, river flats and north facing slopes – do it yourself or lease/agist to somebody else.

As you come through the front gate, you will instantly find yourself on the concrete driveway atop the dam wall, admiring the splendour of your surroundings. Then you’ll continue up the drive, past the post and rail fence, past the first shed (7 x 14m), past the stables (6 x 20m), past the carport, past the 2nd shed (12 x 18m), and park at the apex of what could be your own private paradise.

Then climb the comfortable curved wide steps, cross the 3.6m covered verandah, past the covered BBQ area and step into the magnificent open plan living/dining area (9 x 9.5m) featuring polished iron bark floors and lap up the luxury of space. The generous kitchen (4 x 4m) offers black granite bench tops with custom made brush box timber cupboards and drawers, there’s absolutely loads of bench, cupboard and drawer space, and 5 burner gas cooktop, extra large electric oven, split dish washer, walk in pantry and double sink facing north to the mountains. Nearby, you’ll find the laundry (3.5 x 2.5m) with more custom cabinetry, there’s a separate toilet and washbasin adjacent, and in the other direction – you’ll find the utility room/wine cellar, complete with large, double stainless sinks.

Then enjoy the second living area (8 x 5.5m) with more polished timber floors and with custom made African rosewood bar and timber sliders onto the covered verandah. The carpeted study (4.2 x 3.7m) is adjacent and needless to say if you could possibly need more bedrooms, this could easily become one.

Now up the African teak stairs, you’ll find the carpeted master bedroom suite (8 x 5m) with mountain views, large walk-in robe, timber/glass sliders onto the 3.6m covered verandah, and generous ensuite bathroom offering large shower, double vanity and dual flush toilet. There’s also a 3rd living area (6.5 x 5m) upstairs, also featuring polished ironbark floors, mountain views and direct access to the covered verandah.

Bedroom 2 (6 x 4m) is carpeted with 4 door built-in robe, mountain views and direct access to the covered verandah, bedroom 3 (4.3 x 4m) is carpeted with 4 door built-in robe and bedroom 4 (4.3 x 4m) is also carpeted with 2 door built-in robe.

The main bathroom is generous in size (4.3 x 4m) featuring claw foot bath, large shower and double vanity, while adjacent you will find the separate toilet and handbasin, also luxuriously large (2.4 x 1.8m).

Leaving this luxuriously lovable home for the moment, you’ll find the separate 2 bedroom guest accommodation with living/dining/kitchenette and bathroom, set atop your first workshop/storage space (10 x 7m). Behind the home you’ll find the separately housed 16Kva generator that powers the property in the event of a prolonged blackout and then follow the path to your next shed, a whopping 12 x 18m with high (6m) clearance providing 6 generous parking spaces plus enclosed workshop/storage area together with bathroom and toilet.

If sheds are important to you, you won’t be disappointed here because there’s also another 7 x 14m shed and they all come with concrete floors, power and lights. While we’re outside, the post and rail fence borders the “dam paddock” which is ideal for one horse all year round and adjacent to the state of the art stables (6 x 20m).

There’s so much to tell you about here and we’ve only just ventured outside the house paddock, where beyond the “dam paddock” you will find approximately 30 acres of lush, fertile river flats, flanked by the Kalang River and with the permanent Spicketts Creek flowing through, providing the locally legendary, blue pools swimming and fishing hole.

Speaking of fish, if you are a fisherman, this could well be your dream come true with 1.2km of the Kalang River navigable and fishable all the way to the ocean (20km) as well as Spicketts Creek for freshwater fishing.

You’ll never be bored with the everchanging views and the myriad of activities you can undertake here. You’re just 9 km from the heart of Bellingen and there’s flood free access along Martells Road when you need it. You can be truly self sufficient here with 4-5Kva back to grid solar system, established orchard, hardwood plantation and plenty of potential for further agricultural development. Since the home is just one year old, it meets all modern safety standards including fire sprinkler system in roof and all around house, Stegbar AT200 windows and doors and the home enjoys fully insulated walls, ceilings and roof.
