One of the many ways to enjoy this stunning seven acre property is to kayak down the deep, wide creek in front of the house, then continue downstream through overhanging trees, seeing kingfishers on the wing. If that’s too energetic, you can lounge on a veranda with views of the creek as it tumbles downstream over rapids, or spend time in the airy study, listening to the sound of the rapids running far below as you write, read, sew, or simply daydream. That’s just the workshop, almost a house in itself, a wonderful place to pursue your craft activity or music. The house, a stone’s throw away through a rainforest garden, has many nooks and crannies for members of the family to get lost in. There are two bedrooms, a third as a loft, a sitting room, and verandas everywhere. The living room, with soaring cathedral ceilings, opens out through French doors front and back to a broad back veranda and an extended deck at the front, the perfect place to eat any meal of the day. For convenience, the property is connected to the grid, with the added advantage of solar power and hot water to reduce energy bills. There’s a gas stove in the kitchen, as well as a wood-burning stove to make the house cosy in winter. An efficient gas boost system ensures that you always have hot water on tap, whatever the weather. There’s a chook pen, and established vegetable gardens, a wood- fired pizza oven, and extensive rainforest gardens. All this just 20 minutes to Lismore, with a school bus at the door and council rubbish removal. In addition, the ducks resident on the creek, Little Duck and Pierre, have agreed to stay to extend their happiness to the new owners.
