Sacred Seclusion - Self Sufficiency - Real Riverfront

This 3 bedroom home plus separate studio are set on 25 acres of sacred seclusion, with about a kilometre of riverfront. The swimming holes are delightful, and private with crystal clear water. Bountiful wildlife with birds galore, pademelon, wallabies and, yes, platypus, just to mention a few. This property is suited to anyone looking to be self-sufficient. There is mains power available, however the owners are enjoying a new off-grid solar system. There are established citrus trees, extensive organic veggie gardens and limitless water available from the Kalang River. This location is 24km from Bellingen bustling town centre, shops, cafes, monthly markets.

The drive from Bellingen to this property is both soothing and scenic, as you wind your way into the Kalang Valley, criss-crossing the river as you go. The entrance to this property is over a shallow gravel crossing on the Kalang River, so yes you can be 'confined to paradise' from time to time, but if you're living here you probably wouldn't want to leave too often anyway.

The house and studio are set in a flood-free location, atop the river flats with a delightful outlook in virtually every direction. The home contains a spacious kitchen/dining area (7x4m) which provides generous pantry and ample cupboard, bench and drawer space, and features a central Island bench. There is a gas cook top, electric oven, Smeg rangehood, dishwasher and double stainless-steel sink, as well as a slow-combustion log burner to keep you cosy and warm on cool winter evenings.

The living area offers plenty of space (6 x 4m), with another slow-combustion log burner and lovely high ceilings with direct access to/from the paved patio/entertainment area. Italian tiles feature throughout this property, providing both style and practicality in this paradise found.

The main bedroom and adjoining study (9 x 4m) provide a beautiful space that enjoys buckets of winter sun, yet is in shade for summer, and there's over 4 metres of built-in wardrobe as well as direct access to the lovely gardens.

The bathroom is adjacent, with fantastic garden views, shower over bath, large stylish bespoke vanity, dual flush toilet and plenty of cupboard space, together with a classic 'laundry in a cupboard', as well as the pure luxury of heated towel rails for that perfectly pampered feeling.

The 2nd bedroom is also generous in size (6 x 3.5m) and it, too, enjoys direct access to the lovely gardens. Upstairs we find the loft bedroom (5 x 5m) with polished floor boards, its own verandah and views to the forest. It's ideal for guests and often becomes the 'main bedroom' for winter as it is pleasantly warm.

The separate studio space (9 x 3.5m) is easily accessed via the patio, with its own bathroom and toilet, and although currently used as a workshop opening into covered annex (9 x 2.5m) it could be modified into whatever you would like it to be.

This property enjoys about a kilometre of absolute riverfront in a classic horseshoe shape that is the envy of many. A leisurely stroll to the river (100m), or walk along the private rainforest trails will always provide some wonderful wildlife experiences.

There is now an approved funding in place for the sealing of the remaining stretch of Kalang Road (approx 11km).

If you're seeking sacred seclusion with prime riverfront, self-sufficiency and wonderful wildlife then this really could be exactly what you've been looking for.
