Welcome to this simply spectacular, cool climate mountain-retreat only a 15-minute country drive from the township of Dorrigo.
If it's peaceful solitude you are looking for, then this nature lovers haven is for you. The 12 ha (30 acres) of land is yours to enjoy and explore. Lose yourself in the forest's walking/riding tracks whilst taking in the pristine mountain air. Meditate atop the yoga platform overlooking your stunning waterfall and magical moss and fern gully that happily meanders along the spring's riparian habitat. Gaze at the magnificent mature trees in beautiful autumnal colours that stand amongst the wildflowers and are home to a wide range of birdlife.
As you enter the property you can feel the stresses of your day alleviating. The elevated 2/3 bedroom 'American Barn' style, fully insulated home, has been tastefully and meticulously built and is designed for a relaxed, easy indoor-outdoor lifestyle. The open plan kitchen/dining area flows into the lounge room, complete with a wood burner fireplace - perfect to warm you up on those chilly winter nights. The second-floor area makes a lovely, quiet home office. Connectivity is through a home phone line with ADSL internet and mobile reception through Wi-Fi. Sunsets from the rear deck looking down over your beautiful property are phenomenal.
This property is totally off-grid - say goodbye to large power bills due to your state-of-the-art solar system with batteries. There is also a backup generator, if required (though this has been rarely utilised).
Approximately 2/3rds of the property are cleared paddocks, perfect for a few horses or even some cattle. The land has rich basalt soils.
The spring water has been laboratory tested and is the purest of drinking water. The two spring fed dams are used for wonderful summer swims and also for the natural habitat to enjoy. Great for livestock, irrigation, and ample extra tank rainwater collection, if needed.
The property is noted as being totally flood free and has no bush fire history.
There is an as-new separate garage and carport for storage of your firewood, machinery and vehicles.
Further enhancing this gorgeous location is Deer Park Creek close to your boundary. Just a short walk from your bottom gate to enjoy magnificent swimming holes or perhaps a little trout fishing.
Our vendor has a new DA in place to build a studio / cottage separate and private from the current dwelling (drawings and approvals available upon request).
Dorrigo has a lovely, country vibe and has a small supermarket, primary and high school, post office, eateries, and coffee! Perfect for your everyday needs. The regional city of Armidale, renowned for its lovely historical buildings, schools and university is only a 50-minute drive along Waterfall Way. The eclectic, thriving township of Bellingen is also only a 50-minute drive.
Welcome home!
