Tucked away in one of Mullumbimby's most tightly held addresses, 32 Melaleuca Drive is a private sanctuary of remarkable scale, beauty and flexibility. Set on an expansive 8,288m² estate, this exceptional property offers space, privacy and a deep connection to nature, just a leisurely 30-minute walk from the heart of town.
Framed by established gardens, wetlands and mature rainforest planting, the property is home to two architecturally considered residences, thoughtfully positioned to ensure complete privacy from one another. Birdsong, filtered sunlight and lush greenery define daily life here.
The Main Residence (Top House)
Elevated to capture a true north aspect and views to Mount Chincogan, the main home offers three to four bedrooms, raked ceilings and a wonderful sense of light and openness. Beautiful timber floors and decks extend the living spaces outdoors, creating an effortless flow ideal for family living or relaxed entertaining.
The top residence also presents exciting scope for those looking to further capitalise on the site. With its generous position and established infrastructure, there is clear potential to renovate, reimagine or ultimately create a brand-new residence (STCA), while benefiting from holding income in the interim.
Kookaburra House
Designed by Barefoot Building Design, the second residence is a stunning two-bedroom retreat with its own north-facing orientation and a distinctly private feel. The custom kitchen is a standout, featuring full stainless-steel benches with integrated sinks, a pull-out pantry, soft-close cabinetry, and a Neff slide-and-hide oven.
Outdoors, a 12m x 3m magnesium lap pool, directly adjacent to the deck, creates a serene, resort-like setting surrounded by greenery.
Each residence includes its own bathroom, high ceilings, timber floors and generous decks, making this property perfectly suited to multigenerational living, guest accommodation, rental income or a home-and-retreat combination.
The grounds are truly special, with mature rainforest species including plum pine and cedar forming a natural green buffer between the homes. Extensive wetland planting screens the property from the road, enhancing privacy and attracting abundant birdlife and wildlife.
A productive orchard includes mixed citrus, mangoes, nectarines, mulberries, Davidson plums, Burdekin plum, jaboticaba and more, complemented by raised vegetable beds at both houses, an idyllic setup for a sustainable, self-sufficient lifestyle.
A property of this calibre, size and flexibility is rarely offered. 32 Melaleuca Drive is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to secure a deeply private hinterland haven without sacrificing connection to town.
