Live completely off the grid in a light, spacious house 100m above sea level in beautiful, park-like grounds with 20 lush acres of varied landscape. It has peace, privacy and potential. Properties like this are in demand and do not come onto the market often.
This sheltered property with magnificent views of the surrounding gardens, water and hills has 3 dams, spring water and a seasonal creek. There is plenty of sun and shade and the soil is very fertile. It is home to many bird species and other wildlife.
There are plenty of established fruit trees. There are banana, black grapes, black sapote, carob, peaches, nectarines, guavas, jaboticaba, both Keffir and Tahitian lime, grapefruit, lemon, orange, mango, macadamias, mulberry, loquats, pecans, passionfruit, cooking pears, olive, brush cherries, Japanese raisin and sandpaper figs. Additionally, there is a mini orchard of 12 young and mostly fruiting macadamia nut trees and a new paw paw tree. There is also an enclosed veggie patch and a chook pen.
The mud brick home has vaulted ceilings, skylights and plenty of big windows. It is very cool in summer and is situated to fill with sunlight only in the cooler months. All the doors and windows are fitted with attractive screens.
The generous lounge and dining area has hardwood timber flooring and includes an open plan kitchen with a breakfast bar. It has plenty of bench and storage space and includes a silent 230L gas fridge and gas stove/oven.
The 3 bedrooms are joined by a second living area which is very comfortable in summer as they all have slate flooring. The main bedroom is huge and has a door opening onto the verandah, which surrounds the house on 3 sides.
The bathroom is more than ample with a bath and shower. The toilet is separate and nearby is a build in linen cupboard. The laundry is also very spacious and comes with a washing machine and cupboard. The council approved septic system was last flushed out in May 2017.
The home runs on solar power with a backup generator and the solar hot water system is backed up by the wetback combustion heater. Water is pumped from a 20,000 litre concrete rainwater tank.
There is ample outdoor storage: a lock-up shed adjoins the carport and a steel lock up shed would be suitable for a ride on mower. An old bales has a thick section of concrete without cracks which may be suitable to convert to a shed or garage stca. This site is also ideal for a second dwelling stca.
There is a good petrol pump from the main dam and piping to all areas around the house and the water tower can house a platform with a small tank to enable drip feeding. A 4-tier barbed wire fence and an electrical barrier securely enclose most of the property thus cattle or horses may be accommodated.
TV and mobile reception is good and there is a telephone land line. The property is not far from the end of the no through, graded road and it is quiet with few neighbours. At the other end, there is a local school bus. It is in a good neighbourhood, with many local support services.
It is only 10 minutes to Goolmangar, 20 to Lismore and 25 to Nimbin. An additional 30 minutes drive from Lismore takes you to the beaches and Ballina.
There are so many possibilities: rehabilitate the land, grow crops, keep animals or do them all! It is the best of all worlds.
