Located east of the highway, under 5kms (approx.) to the beach, this property is ideal for those seeking a tranquil sanctuary conveniently close to the coast.
Enjoy the best of both worlds and go for a stroll along Tuckers Rock Beach, or head down to the Bellinger River and nearby North Beach with your towel and sunscreen - perhaps grab a coffee at the Mylestom Post Office Café on the way home (also approximately 5kms away).
While there is a great park opposite the cafe, if you've dreamed of owning a property where the kids have room to run or play a game of cricket at home - then this could be your idea of heaven. There's even a cubby house waiting for them!
Beautifully crafted from quality timbers, this property offers a chance to buy a unique and individual home in a rural residential area.
Surrounded by tiered and usable cleared land, perfect for the kids' swing set or trampoline, pets or your veggie patch, the home is surrounded by lush vegetation affording privacy - with the dual advantage of attracting local birds like kookaburras and even bower birds. The balance between cleared space and bush also means that gardening is kept to a minimum, offering more time to barbecue with a glass of wine on the entertaining deck - or perhaps join the kids for that game of cricket.
Why should this lifestyle be something only on offer in holiday periods - when some city dwellers can now work remotely and commute by air when necessary?
When you do need to leave home (you'll find it tough, I assure you) a gravel driveway leads to ample under house parking for three cars plus there's two additional open bays; one adjacent to the house and another further up the driveway, perhaps for your trailer.
Inside the home has immediate 'wow' factor, with extensive use of slate, stone and timber inside the entry and a door through to a good-sized room which has previously been used as a bar. With beams from the old Bellingen bridge, this character-filled space offers great flexibility with the floor plan. (It has been mentioned that this could be an ideal cool room, I'm no sommelier but there's no doubt the idea has merit).
The next tier of the split-level home features two of the bedrooms, the main bathroom and separate WC. Both bedrooms are a great size, have wonderful creative touches and practical built-in robes with excellent storage. One bedroom even has an external staircase and hardwood timber deck, an option for those working from home who want a separate entrance for clients.
The main bathroom has a deep corner bath ideal for soaking in with a book, or perhaps a glass of champagne while enjoying the tranquil bush view surroundings outside.
The next floor is not only the hub of the home it's jaw-droppingly beautiful, with soaring ceilings with clerestory windows, French doors to the entertaining deck and an open plan living, dining and kitchen space which really suits contemporary living.
The living room has a Blaze wood fire with full height flue, while the dining area leads out to a hardwood deck covered by a water-resistant shade sail.
A striking green wall in the kitchen offers a splash of colour which still complements the natural environment outside, with expansive bench space, timber bar and updated appliances such as the Bosch pyrolytic oven,Omega range hood and gas cook top.
Also on this floor is a separate multi-purpose indoor/outdoor space, at the moment it's set up as an artist's zone plus gym but you could easily throw down a few rugs and decorate as another living space.
Upstairs, the parents of the home have been spoilt with a master retreat, featuring spacious bedroom/sitting area, ensuite and French doors out to another timber deck. Also tucked away off this room, with its own door, is an additional storage space in the roof void, which is currently being used as a home office!
There's no doubt that much heart and soul went into the design and construction of this unique home, and it has been a much-loved property by the current owners for the 20 years they've been in residence.
