Live, Create & Thrive: Exceptional Lifestyle Opportunity in Thora.
Set within a breathtaking pocket of the Bellingen Valley, 484 Summervilles Road, Thora presents a rare opportunity to secure a truly versatile rural lifestyle property with income potential and exciting future development possibilities.
Surrounded by immense natural beauty, this remarkable holding spans approximately 45 acres (around 25 acres cleared) of gently undulating pasture rolling gracefully towards the banks of the pristine Bellingen River. With around 250 metres of private river frontage, the property offers park-like access to one of the area's most beautiful natural swimming spots, where the gentle current and crystal-clear water create the perfect setting for long summer days with family and friends.
Adding to its exceptional water security and natural appeal, the property also enjoys private frontage to the spring-fed Merricks Creek, delivering pristine drinking water sourced directly from the mountain behind the property. Here you'll find an enchanting private plunge and swimming hole, creating a peaceful retreat immersed in nature.
The landscape itself provides a versatile canvas for hobby farming and lifestyle pursuits. Established orchards, fully fenced paddocks and fertile ground allow space to grow, explore and create a sustainable rural lifestyle, while abundant birdlife - the inspiration behind the property's name Birdsong Bellingen - provides a constant natural soundtrack.
Positioned in one of the most desirable pockets of the region, the property sits just minutes from the iconic swimming holes of The Promised Land and the pristine waters of Never Never Creek, as well as the stunning rainforest walks of the Syndicate Trail beneath the spectacular Gondwana Rainforests of Australia.
Despite its tranquil rural setting, the property is conveniently located approximately 15 minutes from the vibrant township of Bellingen, known for its creative community and celebrated dining options including Bruno's Mediterranean Kitchen, Three Blue Ducks and Charlie's Restaurant & Bar.
Continue just 10 minutes further and you'll reach the pristine coastline near Urunga and Mylestom, offering surfing, fishing, diving and endless coastal exploration. A picturesque 15-minute drive west along Waterfall Way takes you to the authentic country town of Dorrigo, known for its cool mountain streams and swimming holes, majestic waterfalls and an emerging food and arts culture.
Daily essentials are also just a five-minute drive away, including food, fuel, wine and other necessities.
For those seeking both lifestyle and opportunity, the property also features DA-approved sites for two luxury riverfront glamping structures, presenting the chance to create a boutique eco-tourism or accommodation venture. Imagine welcoming guests to experience the natural beauty of the valley while collaborating with the region's thriving food, wellness and tourism operators.
Accommodation on the property includes a beautifully renovated rustic Federation cottage (circa 1924) - originally known as Rose's Cottage - offering two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a walk-in robe and light-filled open-plan living with charming farmhouse character.
