Spanning over 100 private acres across three elevated, flood-free zones, 669 North Bank Road represents a rare holding in the Bellingen Shire that combines immediate turnkey comfort with exceptional long-term estate potential. Featuring a sustainably considered modern residence, a separate native hardwood studio retreat, dual licensed bores with independent water licenses, and a registered hardwood plantation, this coastal hinterland estate offers the ideal blend of self-sufficiency, natural beauty, and strategic rural planning-all just 7 minutes to Bellingen and 12 minutes to pristine beaches.
The Residence
Designed with clean lines, light-filled open-plan living, and expansive timber decking capturing green valley outlooks and coastal breezes, the current 23 bedroom home serves as an effortless, high-quality primary residence today.
The home has beautiful timber features throughout and was deliberately designed to meet secondary dwelling planning parameters. This preserves the estate's crown jewel: an unencumbered, elevated northern hill primed for a landmark future primary residence (STCA). Enjoying an ideal sun-drenched northern aspect, this building envelope commands panoramic, completely private views across your own land and the surrounding native bushland, complete with glimpses of the river. Incoming owners can live comfortably on-site with zero compromise while designing their dream home, with the existing dwelling transitioning seamlessly into luxurious guest quarters, multi-generational accommodation, or a high-end rural retreat.
The Studio Retreat & Shedding
- The Hardwood Studio: Positioned on its own private knoll for visual and acoustic separation, the charming native hardwood studio offers a secluded sanctuary. Built using locally sourced timbers, it is perfectly suited as an executive work-from-home creative space, yoga/wellness studio, or private guest retreat.
- Workshop & Shedding: Set on a dedicated elevated spur with separate vehicle access, the property's substantial workshop and machinery shed provides extensive dry storage, power capacity, and a heavy-duty platform for equipment, farm machinery, or serious hobby projects.
Water Security, Land & Natural Capital
- Dual Licensed Bores: An extraordinary water security asset featuring two separate, fully licensed bores backed by two independent water licenses, ensuring dependable, high-quality water across all seasons and agricultural pursuits.
- 100 Contiguous Acres: A balanced, versatile topography of flood-free ridges, open grazing paddocks, and mature native wildlife corridors frequented by resident wallabies, koalas, brolgas, and echidnas.
- Registered Timber Plantation: An established hardwood plantation offering significant natural capital, ecological diversity, and sustainable future timber utility.
- Unmatched Coastal Hinterland Position: Absolute privacy without isolation-7 minutes to Bellingen's renowned culinary and arts scene, 1012 minutes to the sand at North Beach and Mylestom, and under 30 minutes to Coffs Harbour Airport.
