Overview
347 Acre Retreat at the End of the Tyalgum Creek Valley - Absolute Privacy, Crystal-Clear River, an Hour from the Gold Coast
The Phone Code for this property is: 40073. Please quote this number when phoning or texting.
347 acres at the head of the Oxley River - wrapped on two sides by World Heritage national park, with views of the Mt Warning caldera and the Border Ranges.
Set at the very end of a quiet country road, this holding offers a level of privacy, natural beauty and long-term security that is almost impossible to find - anywhere. Nestled into World Heritage rainforest, it is the first land the water touches after leaving the national park - a crystal-clear stream cascading through it. Land like this cannot be created; it can only change hands, and it almost never does.
You feel it the moment you arrive: the road opens from closed forest to uninterrupted views up into the Gondwana rainforest mountains, and the world drops away. It feels like the middle of nowhere - yet it is an hour from the Gold Coast international airport, and ten minutes from Tyalgum village. The world and its troubles seem to disappear, because there is no hint of them: no hectic pace, no passing noise - just the forest, the mists, the changing weather, the birds, the sound of the water running down the creek - and the wildlife that lives as though you weren't there: koalas in trees the owners planted fourteen years ago, wallabies resting in their shade, wedgetail eagles soaring above.
With sweeping elevated building sites, permanent water and complete seclusion, this is a rare opportunity to establish a private hinterland estate, a wellness or nature-immersion retreat, or a legacy landholding - held as one title, or in time as three blocks of 100 acres and more (STCA) - within easy reach of Byron Bay, the Gold Coast and Brisbane. A sealed driveway already climbs from the end of the road to the highest of them.
THE HOMESITES
The lay of the land: as you arrive, you are in the cleared forty acres - gentle, open country running from a plateau down to the river. From there the property rises through gentle mid-slopes - timber plantations with cleared ridges between them, dams down either side - then steps up to the elevated country, and runs on through native forest to two mountain plateaus that meet the national park. The river runs the length of the northern boundary. The whole reads less like a farm than a private wilderness reserve that happens to be yours.
Three homesites stand out - though the land holds more.
The elevated site sits at the end of the sealed driveway in its own three-acre clearing, one of the most elevated positions in the caldera - and the view runs two ways. Out, over the full panorama: the valley below, the caldera around its rim, Wollumbin at the centre. On still mornings the valley fills with mist and this site sits above it - from here, you watch the mountain rise out of the cloud. And up, into the headwaters of the Oxley: the rainforest-covered mountains of the Border Ranges and Limpinwood Nature Reserve, close enough to pick out individual trees on their slopes - and after rain, waterfalls come off the Limpinwood plateau, white lines of water all along the cliffs, pouring straight out of the rainforest above.
The second site is the best home site on the property. It sits on the lower plateau, in one of the property's sections of cleared country - around ten acres on the plateau side, and a further thirty cleared, gently sloping acres across the road: a long run of ground facing the mountains, looking up the valley and down to the creek, with easy road access. The plateau carries a genuine 360-degree outlook - the caldera and Mount Warning in the distance, the large, clear, spring-fed dam and the creek flats below - and needs only a short, gently rising driveway from the road.
There is room here for a home of any scale - or for more than a home: retreat cabins, camping, a wedding or conference venue. The nearest neighbouring houses sit 500 to 900 metres away - the kind of separation event venues search for and almost never find. All of it can sit together on the plateau, all of it across the road, or split between the two (STCA). Both are a short, gentle walk to the creek.
There is enough cleared land here for something special - and not so much that maintaining it becomes the job. That balance is deliberate.
A third site, on the cleared ridge in the centre of the property with around five cleared acres, looks to Wollumbin and up the rainforest valley - the natural homesite if the property were ever divided into 2 or 3.
All three sites share the same aspect: uninterrupted views north, over forest and valley, to country where nothing will ever be built.
WATER SECURITY & NATURAL ENVIRONMENT
The property shares its boundary with the national park - protected, in perpetuity, on the land you look out over every day. A crystal-clear rainforest river runs through the property with 1.9km of frontage: waterfalls, swimming holes and rocky flowing reaches.
And this is the Oxley - a major tributary of the Tweed - at its headwaters, with nothing upstream but World Heritage rainforest: no farms, no roads, no man-made activity anywhere in the catchment. Many rivers - even some flowing through national parks - carry farm runoff from the country above them. This one arrives absolutely pure. In the driest years, when smaller creeks across the region stop running, this river does not.
The household water is gravity-fed from the rainforest, upstream of any farm runoff - no pumps, anywhere on the property, even to the elevated house site - and the fall is there for micro-hydro if you ever wanted it. Several springs run in the hills above the elevated site as well, and with a creek crossing the highest plateaus, virtually every cleared area of the property could be supplied by gravity. The water is so clean you could drink it straight from the stream.
And the river is only half the water story. Nine dams sit across the property, six of them linked by a kilometre of water-harve
