Last Listing description (July 2012)

Have 3 legal dwellings on this Pristine, Peaceful, Private, Paradise
Offering a 2 bedroom timber home, separate studio/cabin, spring-fed dam and the opportunity to legally build 2 more houses if you want to, this is a rare find, approximately 26 km (20 - 25 mins drive) from Bellingen or Dorrigo. If you're looking for a pristine, peaceful and private paradise, and haven't been able to afford it, and you also know 2 other people/couples looking for the same thing, then this could be the property for you.
To get here, you follow Darkwood Rd (no through traffic) from the Thora Store and then take the Die Happy track turn-off, which serves as access for just 5 properties, so, as you might imagine, it's a lovely, quiet place where peace, and privacy are paramount to all that live there.

The home here is simple...that's the way we like it...with apartment-style open-plan living/dining/kitchen/main bedroom and separate 2nd bedroom, bathroom and laundry, all arranged around the favourite 'rooms' in the house: the deck and courtyard.
The bathroom offers a separate shower and bath with hand basin and beautiful, artistic tiles throughout. The toilet is separate and enjoys excellent views, and you'll find there will be plenty of time to enjoy your personal paradise as the house is cleaned in next to no time.
Outside, you'll find the separate studio/cabin complete with power and covered verandah and conveniently sited just 30m from the main house. So, that's what's here now, together with tank water and demand-fed electric pressure pump. The great news for the new owners is that the current owners have fully-approved, architect-designed plans for a new home that they are including in the sale - contact us for a copy.
But wait, there's more...there is also council approval for multiple occupancy for 3 houses on this property with only 1 currently being utilised, so, if you want, you can build 2 more permanent dwellings and there's no time limit on when this needs to be done. All approved sites enjoy plenty of peace and privacy, set in pristine surrounds.
The water set-up is great, with a 5,000 gallon tank filled from the spring-fed dam to feed the garden taps and toilet, and an additional 10,000 gallons of rainwater storage for other house taps etc.
There's something quite magical and healing about the Thora Valley and you can certainly feel it at this property. There's a primary school, pre-school and community tennis court just 1100m away as well as a Steiner School just 4.5 km away, with a regular bus service. You'll find the Thora community supportive and friendly whilst respecting each other's privacy and personal space. So, if this sounds like it could be your peaceful, pristine, private paradise, then call to view at a time that suits you.
