Overview
WHIPBIRD GULLY | A private wilderness of extraordinary beauty
Welcome to Whipbird Gully: approximately 68 hectares of rainforest, river and rare stillness, where waterfalls whisper, fireflies glow at dusk, and the mountains hold the horizon.
This is not a property you simply purchase. It is a private world you are fortunate enough to discover. Whipbird Gully borders Hopkins Creek Road with three separate entrances, each offering its own character and possibilities for those imagining life across this remarkable holding. Held for almost 50 years, a reluctant sale, as the owners have put their heart soul into living this whimsical dream lifestyle.
Your first entrance opens to a flat, sun-drenched mango orchard, framed by ancient Bunya pines and encircled by mountain ranges - a rare piece of usable, level land within acreage of this scale.
The second entrance is gated and quietly tucked away, providing private access to another section of the land, with scope to explore future possibilities for those with vision.
The main entrance leads to two intriguing sites worth discovering. At the top sits a charming studio-style retreat with its own kitchen and bathroom - a peaceful perch above the landscape. Down by the water, the River House awaits: an open-plan sanctuary with soaring ceilings, a fireplace and a bathroom, built in harmony with its riverside setting. Both offer wonderful opportunity for the next custodian to reimagine, restore or simply enjoy as they are.
What makes Whipbird Gully extraordinary:
• The Rous River - the northern arm of the Tweed - winds approximately two kilometres through the property, revealing secluded swimming holes, crystalline creek beds and quiet places to pause. A private waterway of this scale is a rare and treasured feature few properties can claim.
• Wildlife thrives here, with platypus in the creek, koalas in the canopy and glow worms lighting the rainforest after dark. Living alongside such abundance is a daily reminder of just how special this land truly is.
• A rich variety of edible bush tucker grows naturally throughout the property, including Davidson plum, Bunya nut, Giant Native Spear Lily (Doryanthes palmerii), citrus, pecan and macadamia. The land quite literally provides - offering seasonal harvests and a deeply connected way of living.
• Ridgeline and river acreages are ideally suited to regenerative farming, with established plantings ready for harvest. For those drawn to sustainable land practices, the groundwork is already in place.
• Additional infrastructure includes a workshop, farm sheds, an outdoor kitchen, a studio space and horse paddocks with stables across both river and ridge. Practical foundations are here for equestrian pursuits, creative projects or country living at its fullest. Flat usable sections of the land is suitable for livestock, and the river house stands to ignite your creative flare with your wildest dreams.
• A cleared area with an existing slab is positioned to capture sweeping mountain views. It is a canvas of possibility, awaiting the right vision.
• Passive solar homesites have been thoughtfully identified across the property, optimised for northern aspect and natural liveability. Future planning here begins with an already considered advantage.
• The outlook reaches across the valley to the Border Ranges, taking in World Heritage areas and the Great Eastern Ranges. Uninterrupted views of this calibre are what elevate a property from beautiful to unforgettable.
• There is no traffic noise, no urban intrusion - only birdsong from morning to night. True quiet, in a world that offers less and less of it, is perhaps the greatest luxury of all.
• Approximately 68 hectares held and loved by the same owners for almost 50 years. Their home, crafted from recycled materials gathered on the land, tells a story impossible to replicate - and now waits for its next chapter.
Whipbird Gully is more than land. It is a private privileged wilderness, a living ecosystem and a piece of natural history waiting for its next custodian.
