A rare legacy offering within one of the region's most magical historic rainforest environments, Riverbelle presents an extraordinary opportunity to secure land today while planning for the future. Full power to each Lot provided. Properties will require tank water storage and septic systems based on your desired house design.
Comprising just seven cleared acreage homesites ranging from approximately 2.4 acres to 6.4 acres, this boutique release is intentionally limited. Elevated and thoughtfully positioned, the lots capture sweeping valley panoramas, dramatic mountain vistas and prized Wilsons River frontage, all set within the prestigious surrounds of Coorabell, one of the hinterland's most tightly held locations.
What makes Riverbelle truly special is that each lot carries its own personality and story — some opening to expansive valley outlooks, others framed by ancient rainforest, and some elevated to embrace long mountain views. Rather than a uniform subdivision, every homesite offers a distinct sense of place, allowing buyers to choose land that reflects their own vision and lifestyle.
Riverbelle itself holds a rich and deeply authentic history. Once part of the original Fernhill dairy farm, the land was acquired in 1975 with a vision to regenerate and restore the landscape through tree planting, careful land stewardship and mixed farming practices. Over four generations, thousands of trees have been planted and large areas of steep terrain returned to rainforest, including a significant remnant of the historic Big Scrub, preserved within community title land alongside protected riparian zones connecting to Wilsons River.
Since the mid-2000s, the property has been nurtured through organic farming practices, and today the landscape supports abundant wildlife, with birdlife, koalas, platypus, kangaroos and wallabies frequently noted, a reflection of decades of careful regeneration.
With deposits taken now and settlement planned for 2028, Riverbelle offers a rare structure where purchasers may benefit from future capital growth while avoiding the holding costs typically associated with immediate ownership, presenting the opportunity to secure tomorrow's value at today's price while taking time to design and plan.
Unlike a conventional subdivision, Riverbelle remains a tightly held vision. Only seven blocks will ever be released to the public, with the remainder retained to preserve the integrity, privacy and generational legacy of this remarkable rainforest enclave. Remaining blocks being retained by family custodians.
Riverbelle is more than land, it is time, history and possibility. A boutique hinterland sanctuary defined by regenerative stewardship, Wilsons River frontage, and breathtaking valley and mountain outlooks, designed to be cherished for generations.
Riverbelle — 'Meet the land - Seven lots, seven stories'
Lot 4 — 4.94 acres Exclusive Riverfront Rainforest Parcel
Positioned to capture exceptional views, Lot 4 enjoys direct connection to Wilsons River, a tributary of the Richmond River. The land descends through lush rainforest to a large natural swimming hole, offering a rare combination of elevated outlooks and serene riverfront living.
Lot 5 — 4.27 acres Elevated Outlooks with River & Rainforest
Also adjoining Wilsons River, Lot 5 offers sweeping views alongside established rainforest corridors leading down to the water's edge. Mature eucalypts and native vegetation create a sense of privacy and immersion in nature, balancing elevated positioning with tranquil river access.
Lot 9 — 6.43 Acres with existing infrastructure and grand trees, & rare rainforest regrowth
Defined by its amazing elevated views and remarkable natural presence, Lot 9 is one of Riverbelle's most character-rich homesites. The land is dotted with magnificent mature trees, including eucalypts, blue quandong, creating a sense of scale and timelessness rarely found.
A standout feature is approximately just over two acres of rare 100-year-old rainforest regrowth, where magnificent red cedar and established subtropical species form a deeply immersive natural setting. Adding to its historic appeal is the charming “little white house” cottage, originally built in the late 1970s, offering a nostalgic connection to Riverbelle's early history and now an ancillary farm building. Lot 9 perfectly reflects the essence of Riverbelle, land with soul, story and extraordinary natural beauty.
Lot 10 — 5.41 acres Historic Timber Barn & Organic Orchard Grounds
One of Riverbelle's most character-filled parcels, Lot 10 features a approx. 250sqm barn set on a concrete slab, originally hand constructed in the late 70s and rich in history. The premium fertile soil on Lot 10 has supported decades of organic farming, most recently ginger and turmeric, along with earlier orchards and small crops. A rare highlight is the easy access to approximately ¾ hectare of established rainforest regrowth, home to magnificent red cedar and over a century of natural regeneration. A upgraded 5kw solar system connected to the former poultry house currently provides power to the barn, enhancing the lot's practicality.
