A rare and unique, absolute river front property that will take your breath away. Offering over 100 organic acres (chemical/herbicide free since 1992) of lush, green, gently undulating clean countryside with rich alluvial river flats located in the pristine Kalang valley. This is your opportunity to live in an extraordinary and very distinctive riverfront property that will delight even the most fastidious conservation and wildlife enthusiast. You will be immediately captivated by the old world ambiance of this rustic, pavilion styled house with one pavilion dedicated to living and the other pavilion for bedrooms and an office. The house is made of local hardwoods, as are the floors. This intriguing and unique home consists of three bedrooms plus study in hardwood timbers in two buildings joined by a breezeway and courtyard. One building is open plan living - lounge area with huge open fire place, good kitchen with Smeg appliances (oven and dishwasher), useful pantry, efficient gas heating and a dining area opening to sweeping verandahs. The open plan kitchen, dining and living area is a fantastic combination of glass and doors to take on the cool summer breezes, and of course the large open fire place for the cooler winter months. The house is situated overlooking the winding Kalang River with a choice of swimming holes to either swim or fish. Views to the north take in the forest and the escarpment of the Great Dividing Range. It is a showcase of what stylish country living should be. A separate and fully insulated solar powered cabin/studio converts from one large room into two double bedrooms via a Soji screen room divider to enhance functionality, or could be used as an artist's studio and has verandahs both north and south that look toward the mountains and the river. Additionally, a large covered outdoor entertaining area that overlooks the river and expansive gardens that surround the house and studio. A large three bay tractor shed includes a big workshop area with power plus a carport for one vehicle and trailer. An old renovated dairy bale has gas connected and gravity fed water. An enclosed vegetable patch also has gravity fed water with good pressure. You have considerable flat land around house (which is rare in this area) and are surrounded by a plethora of mature trees including 25 macadamia and 50 pecan trees, rare aromatic trees as well as river flats, walking trails and forested areas. Unquestionably Bellingen's most sensitive eco paradise is yours! Situated just 20 minutes drive from the picturesque rural township of Bellingen with its laid back lifestyle and only 35 minutes drive from the thriving coastal city of Coffs Harbour. Coffs offers the full range of facilities including an airport with regular services to both Sydney and Brisbane and a new Base Hospital.
