A Historic Haven - ' Alice'
Nestled on the outskirts of the blossoming town of Dorrigo, this unique property offers a private, established treed sanctuary on approximately 3,200 sqm of land.
The north-east facing block enjoys convenient dual street access. Despite its sense of seclusion, you're only a 10-minute walk or a short bike ride to the town centre - a scenic journey along the Bielsdown River and over the footbridge.
This much-loved property includes a beautifully restored 1915 farmhouse, once the original home in the area. The 3-bedroom residence has been restumped, reroofed, and professionally renovated throughout. Recently repainted inside and out, the home features one bathroom, two toilets, a laundry, lock-up garage, and carport.
The third bedroom functions as a flexible home office or guest room, complete with a custom-built desk, shelving, and a concealed fold-down double bed. Other bespoke joinery includes fitted wardrobes, pantry, and clever storage solutions, all designed to complement the home's historic character.
Unlike most Dorrigo homes, this one is fully insulated-underfloor, wall, and ceiling-with double-glazed windows that honour the property's original charm. A combustion wood heater and reverse-cycle air conditioning ensure year-round comfort. A magnificent deciduous magnolia tree, one of the largest in town, shades the home in summer and lets the sunlight in through winter.
In the garden, a separate 5x4m studio with deck offers endless possibilities-perfect as an artist's retreat, workshop, or extra accommodation.
Garden lovers will delight in the vibrant, established grounds, which blend flowering exotics and natives with productive fruit trees including nectarine, plum, peach, persimmon, apple, and lemon. With both town water and sewerage, plus two additional water tanks for garden use, the property supports an abundant and sustainable lifestyle. There's ample space for vegetable gardens and chickens, too.
Adding further appeal, Bellingen Shire Council has approved a five-year subdivision consent, allowing the rear portion of the land to be split into two generous blocks (approximately 2,000 sqm and 1,200 sqm), designed in accordance with heritage guidelines to preserve the beauty and character of the existing home and garden.
