Tucked amongst the trees on just under half an acre, this character-filled red cedar home offers a wonderful sense of privacy, space and relaxed hinterland living. With established greenery and glimpses across the valley, it feels like your own little patch of the Northern Rivers, perfectly positioned between Alstonville and Ballina.
There's something about this home you don't fully appreciate until you step inside. Surprisingly spacious, yet instantly warm and welcoming, soaring timber-lined cathedral ceilings open up the living areas, while exposed beams, polished timber floors and a slow-combustion fireplace give the home its unmistakable character.
Large windows draw the greenery inside, while the expansive wraparound verandah creates another living space altogether. With different places to sit and entertain, you can follow the sun or shade around the home throughout the day and across the seasons - from morning coffee and long lunches with friends to evenings around the outdoor firepit.
At the heart of the home, the timber kitchen continues the character with rustic-edge benchtops, stained-glass windows, a breakfast bar, generous preparation space and large walk-in pantry. The flexible floorplan offers three bedrooms, with one downstairs and two charming bedrooms upstairs beneath the timber-lined ceilings.
Outside, the 1,853sqm property gives you room to make this lifestyle your own. Grow veggies and fruit trees, keep a few chickens, establish gardens, create spaces for the kids or simply enjoy the trees and visiting birdlife. Established gums attract kookaburras, king parrots and other native visitors, while spring evenings can even bring the magical flicker of fireflies through the garden. Three rainwater tanks and a bore complement the gardens and outdoor lifestyle.
For those who love to tinker, create or need room for the toys, the recently built double shed and workshop features remote doors, natural skylights and plumbing in place for a toilet and shower, adding exciting potential for a studio, workspace or additional use (STCA). There's plenty of room for the caravan, boat, trailer and additional vehicles too - although unfortunately, the family's much-loved Bedford truck isn't included!
