Country Living Close to Bellingen

If you and your family are searching for a peaceful rural lifestyle surrounded by native forest, spectacular rainforest and only 3 minutes from town, then this property might just suit you. <br/><br/>This lovely north facing home is completely off grid, the grounds are beautifully landscaped, and you can instantly tell this home has been loved for the last 35 years by the current owners.<br/><br/>The layout of the house and gardens have been developed with entertaining in mind. <br/><br/>The top level has a beautiful spacious kitchen fit for a chef. There are two spacious bedrooms with leafy outlooks and an open plan kitchen, dining and lounge room that invites the outdoors in through a series of stacking doors onto the back outdoor area. <br/><br/>Polished hardwood floors throughout the living areas and there is fresh carpet in the bedrooms. <br/><br/>There are so many great spots for you and your friends and family to dine outside at this home. There are patios, verandas and my favourite is on the beach by the wood fired pizza oven. <br/><br/>The home is across 2 levels and the bottom level has been rented as an Airbnb in the past as you can make the levels completely separate if required. <br/><br/>Downstairs you will find 2 bedrooms with lovely garden and forest views. A second living area and kitchenette that opens to the yard with beautiful spots to enjoy a morning coffee with the bird life. A lovely bathroom with a great big soaking bath.<br/><br/>There is ample covered parking, workshop space and shedding including an extraordinary man cave. Vegetable gardens and fruit trees soak in the sun morning to afternoon so you and your family can live the sustainable lifestyle. <br/><br/>There are 50,000 litres of rainwater perfect for drinking, another 50,000 litres for the gardens and a crystal clear drinking water spring so you will always have clean water. <br/><br/>Your power is provided by a new 10kva completely off Grid system with a state-of-the-art new battery bank and a hugely over specked generator means you always have power even in a blackout. <br/><br/>15km inland from the sea lies Bellingen, a culturally rich historic town surrounded by an abundance of natural beauty. From views to the Great Dividing Range in particular Ngali (Old Man Dreaming) to rolling farmland, picturesque rivers and streams and subtropical rainforest just to scratch the surface. <br/><br/>Plenty of cafes serving great coffee and different styles of breakfast, some fabulous restaurants serving a variety of different cuisines, boutique brewery, great shopping and world class groceries.<br/><br/>Please ring Peter or Buzz to arrange a viewing before this one is snapped up by anyone that see the property.<br/><br/><br/>- 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms<br/>- Completely off-grid<br/>- New 10kVA system and batteries<br/>- North facing aspect<br/>- Expansive mancave<br/>- Landscaped tiered gardens<br/>- Springfed well<br/>- Spectacular rainforest<br/>- Veggie gardens and fruit trees<br/>- 3 minutes from Bellingen<br/>- Airbnb opportunity<br/>- Outside dining<br/>- Covered parking
