Set across 42.68 hectares (approximately 100 acres) of pristine Australian bushland, the estate delivers an unparalleled lifestyle escape. Flowering native gardens, towering timbers, dramatic rocky escarpments and breathtaking Orara River frontage combine to create a setting of extraordinary natural beauty. A private driveway winds through the landscape to the elevated homestead, positioned to capture privacy, space, and sweeping bushland views. Construction of this bespoke residence commenced in 1986, thoughtfully crafted using historically significant salvaged and recycled materials, giving the home a depth of character rarely found today. Every corner tells a story, evoking a timeless connection to Australia's past. At the heart of the home, a striking double sided fireplace framed by floor-to-ceiling sandstone block walls defines the open plan living and dining areas, while subtly separating the formal lounge. These feature walls are constructed from turn of the century hand cut sandstone, setting a powerful design precedent throughout the home. Locally sourced hardwoods, milled nearby at Athol Glen, are used extensively, adding warmth and authenticity. The bush rock sandstone forming the entire ground floor exterior was collected directly from the property, while 1800s Grafton Racecourse bricks have been repurposed to construct the fireplace chimney and kitchen piers. Wraparound verandahs and established native gardens further enhance the home's sense of place. The industrial style kitchen features a robust polished concrete benchtop, seeded with carefully selected materials, complemented by a ceramic cooktop and under-bench oven both functional and visually striking. The architecturally designed floorplan prioritises comfort and liveability, with all bedrooms located on the main level. The north-eastern master suite enjoys a private, north facing covered deck, generous walk in wardrobe, spacious ensuite, and an adjoining loft ideal for a study or reading retreat. Two additional bedrooms, a large secondary loft, and an elegant main bathroom complete this level. At the basement level, contemporary luxury meets the landscape in a unique open bathroom, featuring a garden shower, vanity, sink and toilet with stunning natural outlooks. This level also houses the laundry and cellar, with walls lined by hand-cut hardwood timber slabs dating back to the late 1800s. Additional infrastructure includes a sandstone double carport attached to the home and a separate workshop, offering exciting potential for conversion into guest accommodation (STCA). With its breathtaking surrounds, the property also presents outstanding opportunities to host weddings, wellness retreats, or boutique accommodation experiences. This is an ultra rare lifestyle estate a true sanctuary offering privacy, history, craftsmanship, and natural beauty in one of the region's most captivating settings. A high end country retreat that will impress even the most discerning buyer.
