Looking for an affordable tree-change? This timber pole house set up high on two acres has all the desirable elements for a contented off-grid country lifestyle in a secluded paradise without breaking the bank.
The residence is a rustic elevated 150m2 home clad in western red cedar. The single-level living spaces include two bedrooms (one with a vanity sink) and one bathroom/laundry, kitchen/dining, office space and large lounge room which could alternately serve as a third bedroom. It has extensive verandahs with views to the Border Ranges and Mackellar Range and access to cliffs and bush walks. The sunsets are spectacular. This would be a life with NO BILLS thanks to an off-grid solar system, solar hot water and rainwater tanks.
By ‘bush-home’ standards this is quite a large dwelling and is designed with space in mind. It is also a very solid construction using quality timbers. It features skylight areas to eliminate what is often a lighting difficulty with such constructions. As the photos show, it would benefit from both some TLC and a designer’s touch but is in good, move-in ready condition. This home has expansive outdoor living areas and verandahs including a terraced hill behind the house suitable for a granny flat, tiny home, caravan or shipping container.
There’s also a carport and garden sheds which will be handy for tending your established organic fruit trees. These include mango, avocado, olive, lychee, Davidson plum, sapote, macadamia and mulberry. Add a veggie garden and you're looking at a sustainable future.
Set in a strata-titled community (eligible for a home loan) your two acres also comes with a share in approx. 800 acres of regenerating bush as well as accessible community buildings including a huge hall, general store/café and arts and crafts centre. This community has been established for over 40 years and has well maintained access roads. By-laws prohibit cats and dogs to protect the abundant wildlife, so this is truly a pocket of nature’s wonderland.
The home enjoys access to wireless internet, and is approximately a 35 minute drive to Lismore, 30 minutes to Nimbin or 25 minutes to Kyogle. A day at the beach is only a tad over an hour away.
