Nimbin NSW 2480

Set among lovely gardens on one of the highest half-acre blocks in the coveted permaculture community of 'Jarlanbah' is this beautiful spacious home. The ultimate in Nimbin's unique architectural flavour, this offering has every creature comfort you could want to live a serene, sustainable lifestyle. From the moment you arrive at the property you will be awestruck by the views creating a picturesque backdrop of dramatic mountain ranges. Begging you to wander through and around the home, these views open up to become a panorama from the glass-laden northern side of the home and even more predominantly from the sprawling verandahs. This alone will brighten the start to every day - but there's so much more to this property which puts it in the 'upmarket' bracket of Nimbin offerings.
The raw timber dwelling contains a mix of sought-after hardwoods and cabinet timbers from walls to floorboards, and is clearly a labour of love for a clever artist with an eye for colour and design. The many coloured and textured walls give a warm and homely feel, whilst the door and window treatments raise an appreciative smile to residents and visitors alike. The large timber framed windows and doors, both exterior and interior, range from warm lacquered frames to bright feature coloured frames - and some have even been painted with clever patterns! The overall effect is an eclectic but fabulous patina, well executed to create an inspirational ambience.
The photo gallery gives a comprehensive picture of this beautiful large home. What you can't see in pictures so much is the interesting layout which is cleverly designed to create either one large family home, or a divided home for separate living by two parties. On the one (slightly split) level is a 3 x bedroom, 2.5 bathroom home with wraparound wide verandahs and a large open plan kitchen, dining and dual living area. However, the main bedroom and one of the bathrooms/WIR is cleverly placed at one end of the home with its own internal staircase to a lower level containing a kitchen, daybed area, and a big workspace (possible 4th bedroom + study). This entire area with its own verandah can be separately accessed and separated from the rest of the home for divided living if desired.
