Escape to a 52.37-hectare sanctuary near Die Happy State Foresta private haven that blends natural beauty with handcrafted charm. Tucked away in this serene expanse is a bespoke timber home that offers breathtaking panoramic views of the Gondwana National Park Ranges, visible from every angle. There is also a two-bedroom cabin with beautiful views and has a very private position of its own.
This unique residence is a true labor of love, crafted from timbers sourced directly from the property. The rich hues of mahogany, bush oak, yellow bean, black bean, coachwood, and sassafras infuse the home with character and warmth. Durable hardwoods such as blackbutt and tallowwood form the exterior, while the radiata pine floors, the only material brought in from elsewhere, add a touch of contrast.
The home itself spans four thoughtfully designed levels. Upon entering, you are welcomed into a space that exudes rustic charm, with two bedrooms and a cozy potbelly fireplace that immediately make you feel at home. The next level unveils an expansive open-plan design that includes a hoop pine timber kitchen, dining and lounge areas, a storeroom with outdoor access, a double-sized bedroom, and a bathroom. At the heart of this level is a striking round glass fireplace, a centerpiece perfect for cooler months. A wraparound veranda encircles this space, offering the ideal spot to soak in the mesmerizing views.
Descending to the lower level, a beautiful mahogany staircase leads to a family room, a bar, another bedroom, and a laundry. This level is perfectly suited for entertaining, with a generous veranda that connects seamlessly to the surrounding natural beauty. The uppermost level serves as a private retreat, featuring the main bedroom with an ensuite that includes a luxurious spa bath, a shower, and a toilet. This space also boasts a private, covered balcony where you can unwind while watching the vibrant hues of the mountains shift with the light, accompanied by the songs of native birdlife.
Adding to the appeal, the property includes a saltwater pool nestled in a lush palm garden, creating the feel of a private resort. A dam and creek meander through the grounds, while access to the pristine Bellinger River is just a short distance from the end of the driveway, offering idyllic swimming holes and opportunities to connect with nature. For practicality, the main home includes a double garage and a large open carport.
In addition to the main home, the property also boasts a charming two-bedroom cottage with its own private driveway. Completely off-grid, the cottage features timber floors, a brand-new kitchen, and a veranda with spectacular views.
