9 Pristine Acres, Private River Frontage, Timber Cottage

You'll enjoy the drive to this pristine hideaway set on 3 ha (9.1 acres) with a level elevated home site, river frontage to the Kalang River and a timber cottage. The property is perfect for a couple of horses, animals and growing veggies. The timber home is unique and offers 3 bedrooms plus two loft areas, 1 bathroom and 1 toilet. Open-plan living/dining/kitchen, hardwood timber floors and high raked ceilings. Off the living area is a large covered verandah which faces North and makes an ideal space for creating and relaxing. The swimming holes are the stuff of fairy tales and the wonderful wildlife abounds here, with birds galore, pademelon, wallabies and yes platypus, just to mention a few. You truly do leave the rest of the world behind when you are here and yet you are just 19km from Bellingen.

The house is set in a flood-free location, atop the river flats with a delightful sunny setting. The home is unique and offers lots of lovely features, stone feature wall, leadlight windows, exposed timber poles, and it is built with a hardwood frame & has an iron roof. The ceilings are high and raked throughout which give the home a great sense of space.

The kitchen is a good size and offers hardwood timber bench tops, featuring a central Island bench with an overhanging pot hanger, gas cooktop, electric oven and double stainless steel sink.

The living area is open plan & offers plenty of space, with a slow-combustion log burner and direct access to/from the rear covered outdoor area.

The bedrooms offer a comfortable space, with bedroom 1 - 5.6m x 2.6m, bedroom 2 - 3m x 5.2m plus a loft space and bedroom 3 - 5.3m x 3.7m plus a loft space.

The bathroom is off the verandah and is open on one wall to the lovely fresh air and to view over the leafy surrounds. It offers a shower over bath plus separate toilet. The adjacent laundry offers plenty of space for a large family washing machine.

Of the 9 acres, there is approx 5 acres of cleared level land around the home, and this land would be perfect for horses, animals and for kids to play. The remaining acres are a mix of fertile forest with a beautiful, 'must-do' walk down to the river. Dozens of resident wallabies and pademelons frequent the property and it provides a healthy habitat for a vast abundance of wildlife.

The drive from Bellingen to this property is both soothing and scenic, as you wind your way into the Kalang Valley, crisscrossing the river as you go. The community hall, tennis court and pre-school are within easy walking distance and life here is relaxed and peaceful. At approximately 19km from Bellingen, this property is close enough to town to enable the daily commute, yet far enough away to really enjoy your own private utopia.

You'll find a herb and veggie garden nice and handy to the house, and you will never tire of the seemingly limitless number of native birds that will happily sing to you all year long. A walk through your own private rainforest is always a treat and you may decide to duck down to the 'secret swimming hole' where you are quite likely to encounter platypus living life and loving it!

There's, even more, to tell you about here, like solar hot water, limitless water from Kalang River, & for fruit and nut trees there is grapefruit, macadamia, banana, lemon and orange.

If you're seeking sacred seclusion with prime riverfront, wonderful wildlife and fairytale features then this really could be exactly what you've been looking for.
