1A Sibley Street

Nimbin NSW 2480

The village of Nimbin's commercial zone has traditionally been confined to one main street (Cullen Street) and a few laneways, with the area behind the western side of the main street a dedicated public carpark. There are, however, a limited number of premises on the lower (southern) side of the street which are on large blocks and have potential for commercial use(RU5/Commercial subject to Council Approval). 1A Sibley Street is one of these rare offerings. With vehicle/lane access beside the Nimbin Backpackers Hotel, this centrally located huge half acre+ block is the ideal property for professional rooms. (Did we hear someone say booming Nimbin needs a dentist ??) The land's perimeter is an irregular shape, with the dwelling on a traditional rectangle, and an adjoining rectangle big enough and perfectly shaped for multiple car parking spaces.
The existing dwelling is currently a much loved 4 x bedroom timber home which pays homage to its Australian country heritage, has many design features reflective of Nimbin's unique culture, as well as being influenced by Japanese design. A back-to-grid solar panel array and solar hot water system are an added sustainability bonus. And for those who appreciate re-purposed architectural pieces, this home is a gem with a truly lovely ambience! There is a softness and an honesty to this homestead with its distressed timbers and beautiful patinas throughout. Much thought and craftsmanship has gone into its transformation. The enclosed wraparound verandahs create privacy from the distant sounds of the bustling township and the huge side and back decks overlook tropical gardens, set out on permaculture principles, with 'lawns' of herbs and ground cover plantings. Out back is so peaceful and quiet you would never guess you are in the middle of town. The mostly flat land rolls gently down to a small secondary dwelling (large mobile home) which, with a little TLC could be the perfect guest accommodations, sub-let, or commercial storage space.
Continue to live in and enjoy this property as a private country home in an urban setting, or convert the perfectly configured dwelling into professional rooms with waiting-room verandahs(STCA). Either way this is a "one-off" opportunity for the astute buyer and/or investor. THIS PROPERTY IS BEING OFFERED FOR TENDER.
