Hidden away in an idyllic rural setting just 35 minutes west of Kempsey, this remarkable lifestyle property offers a rare opportunity to escape the hustle and embrace a life of peace, privacy and spectacular natural beauty.
Perched approximately 200 metres above sea level, the home enjoys uninterrupted panoramic views towards Mount Parabel and across the surrounding countryside. The property's unique amphitheatre-like landscape creates its own sheltered microclimate, providing sunny, protected living throughout the seasons while immersing you in the tranquillity of nature.
Originally built in 1992 and purchased by the current owners in 2015, the home has undergone an extensive renovation between 2019 and 2022. Completed by the owners' son, a licensed builder, with all plumbing and electrical work carried out by qualified tradespeople, the renovation has transformed the home into a comfortable and character-filled country retreat.
Wrapped in corrugated and recycled iron, the home blends beautifully into its natural surroundings while offering modern comfort throughout. The entire home has been reframed and fully insulated, complemented by new windows and screens, complete rewiring, new lighting, ceiling fans, power points and TV aerial.
The stunning Spotted Gum deck, constructed using fire-resistant timber and framed with impressive hardwood beams beneath a new roof, is undoubtedly the heart of the home. It's the perfect place to relax with your morning coffee, entertain friends or simply soak in the ever-changing mountain views.
Inside, the upstairs level features new plywood flooring, ceilings and wall linings, along with custom-built bed bases incorporating clever storage solutions. Downstairs, the home boasts a beautifully crafted form plywood kitchen with generous pantry storage, while recent additions include a new refrigerator, dishwasher, electric hot water system, laundry facilities, bathroom cabinetry and shower. The original composting toilet remains in place, perfectly complementing the property's sustainable lifestyle.
Water security is well catered for with five water tanks, including four newly installed steel tanks, providing a combined capacity of approximately 14,000 litres.
Outside, significant improvements have enhanced both accessibility and usability. A newly bulldozed access track provides easier entry to the property, while established garden beds, selective tree clearing and two large storage containers offer practicality for country living.
Backing directly onto the Boonanghi Nature Reserve, the property offers a genuine connection to the Australian bush. Explore private tracks leading through diverse native forest to rocky ridges, dry creek beds and a seasonal waterfall, or venture to elevated lookouts where breathtaking views extend north, south and west across untouched wilderness.
Whether you're searching for a peaceful permanent residence, a secluded weekend retreat or an off-grid inspired lifestyle immersed in nature, this exceptional property delivers privacy, quality and scenery that is increasingly difficult to find.
