With an amazing location taking in close views of the Nimbin Rocks and full vistas of Blue Knob Mountain, this gorgeous offering will delight the senses both architecturally (inside and out), as well as around the sensational grounds. Commanding an elevated section of the 11 acre property, the owners have showcased the best features of an original Queenslander in bespoke ways and with a richly coloured paint-palette, then refurbished a light and airy contemporary 'oversized studio' at the rear as a secondary living set of spaces. But the uniqueness of the home lies in the joining of the two by way of nooks, courtyards, verandahs and wide covered-in hallways. Currently configured as a four large conventional bedroom home with a big studio annexe and 2 ½ bathrooms, the combined spaces give you the unique potential of 3 immediate changes of floorplan without any renovations at all! These are:
* Leave the home in its present form: 4 large bedrooms 2 ½ bathrooms multiple living and storage spaces OR
* Use the extra studio spaces as bedrooms to create a 7 bedroom 2 ½ bathroom home with one large living space OR
* Configure the spaces at the home's rear as a 1 or 2 bedroom, 1 ½ bathroom rentable space with its own entrance and adequate separation from the main home.
If ambience is your main priority, this home has it in spades. As you enter the well maintained long and treelined driveway you will be smitten by the carefully manicured lawns, professionally landscaped nooks and mature specimen trees with the most prominent feature tree being a huge Queensland bottle tree with an enormous girth. A beautiful rainforest section has been preserved to the rear of the property. The lawns are dotted with specialized food-producing gardens with one paddock (on the creek side of Nimbin Road) left clean and mowed leading to the pretty creek-boundary. Notably, the majority of the property is more cleared than forested great for animals, and all of this land is extremely gentle yet affords you beautiful views.
This home has historically been owned by artists, and those Nimbin Rocks views from this property have been the subject of many beautiful local artworks over many years.
Beautifully presented and showcasing the house and property's best attributes, this is a truly comfortable and spacious home with far too many wonderful characteristics to appreciate without visiting. So consider these features, look at the gallery of photos, then book an appointment with John Wilcox on 0428 200 288 for a personal tour.
