From a bare cow paddock in 1983 to a beautiful rainforest botanical garden, this is potentially one of the best personal environmental projects in Byron Shire: a totally unique property.
The first of some 20,000 rainforest plants were planted on Christmas Day 1983 and, as with all botanical gardens, this property will only improve in value as it matures. This will be a truly unique legacy to pass on through the generations or an amazing environmental investment property to on-sell in the future.
The gardens have been established around the ideal central main house site, well away from the boundaries and protected from wind and the summer sun, yet benefitting from the warmth of the winter sun. Here you can build your dream home, subject to council approval, potentially up to three levels because of the site topography with room also for a three to four car garage. A 200m long tree and palm lined driveway leads to a turning circle with space for another two car garage and workshop or shed. Three phase power is already connected to the property.
At the far south-west corner of the property, is a partly built cottage used as a temporary dwelling during the establishment of the gardens, which could be used a site office during construction of your new home.
With the exception of the main house site, the entire 5 acres (approx.) is your garden with the feel of a peaceful and tranquil national park. The body of water on the property has been landscaped to give the illusion that there is a river heading off into the distance. Cleverly and carefully designed, the property requires minimal maintenance: all the rainforested areas require no mowing, brush cutting and little to no weeding. And in winter months, even the grassed areas will require limited mowing. The current owner estimates that the entire property could be easily managed by one person spending one afternoon a week potentially the ideal rural retirement property.
Paradise is also a haven for an extraordinary diversity of bird species including rare species such as the noisy pitta, darter and the night heron. The combination of rainforest and a body of water has created a habitat for over a hundred observed species and there is also a breeding Koala colony.
The property is situated in a quiet country lane, a no through road, and is just five minutes drive to Mullumbimby and fifteen or so to Byron Bay.
