Hidden on the side of a mountain with stunning views over the valley to the ocean beyond, this hinterland hideaway is only a short drive to Ballina and Byron Bay, and closer still to the riverside village of Wardell.
The one-bedroom studio cottage, serviced by tank water and solar power, is perched on a ridge with a large covered timber deck providing a perfect vantage point for those amazing views below.
Situated in the heart of a koala corridor, the property is home to an abundance of bird and other wildlife. With its lush rainforest, creeks and gullies, this peaceful sanctuary offers all the ingredients for a simple, self-sufficient life. For the more ambitious buyer, there’s the potential to extend the home, apply for dual occupancy or develop an eco-tourism facility. Surrounded by tall trees, a beautiful native garden and a vegetable plot, the colourful cottage bestows all the comforts of home with its cosy bedroom, kitchen and open-plan living/dining area. An outhouse features a claw-foot bath and eco-friendly toilet. Below the elevation lies an expanse of flat, cleared land with a spring-fed dam, suitable for cattle or horses. There’s also a spring at the top of the property and a creek running down to the bottom. Retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life to your very own bushland Nirvana, but still be close to all the amenities of town. The town of Alstonville with it new trendy reputation is only 15 minutes’ drive inland while the Wardell highway by-pass now under construction will make the Gold Coast and Brisbane so much easier to reach.
