Tucked into the peaceful valley of Reserve Creek, this enchanting former schoolhouse offers a rare blend of history, charm, and possibility. Originally built over a century ago as the area's very first school, it now stands as a beautifully preserved two-bedroom cottage - a quiet escape imbued with character and grace.
Positioned on a gently sloping north-east facing 2.8-acre block, the land is as practical as it is picturesque. There's room to plant a garden, space for a future shed or dream home (STCA), and the potential (with some selective clearing) to open up sweeping rural views, all while retaining the privacy that makes this place feel so special.
Inside, original sash windows, timber floors, and 3-metre-high ceilings honour the building's heritage, while abundant natural light brings softness and warmth to every room. The open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area is cosy yet airy, flowing out to a wide north-facing sun deck, offering the perfect perch for morning coffee, long lunches, or simply listening to the birdsong at dusk.
Recently refreshed with new internal and external paint, the cottage also includes a 5,000-litre water tank, bore water access, and under-house storage, making it comfortable, functional, and full of potential.
A rare small-acre holding in this tightly held valley, the property is perfectly positioned just 10 minutes from Murwillumbah and 15 minutes from the beaches of Cabarita - offering the ideal balance of country stillness and coastal ease.
Whether you're dreaming of a charming weekender, a creative restoration, or a peaceful place to plant roots and grow something meaningful, this historic home is ready for its next chapter.
