Amenity
45 minutes from Byron Bay and 20 mins to Lismore, The Channon is a gateway to the world heritage Nightcap National Park. The property is walking distance to the village where the school, preschool, tavern, store and hall are the centre of a creative resilient community.
Note: The property has a Clivus Multrum composting toilet system, no flushable toilets, it does have an existing grey water septic system but the system needs an upgrade in which a second bigger and unused tank can be utilised for an upgrade in which there is a grey water only upgrade management plan the owners have had done and is available, additional plans would be required for full septic upgrade for flushable.
