A rare fusion of privacy, productivity, natural beauty and lifestyle excellence, this extraordinary 60-acre estate delivers one of the most breathtaking rural settings on the Mid North Coast. Positioned just minutes from the vibrant township of Bellingen, the property captures uninterrupted 180-degree mountain panoramas across emerald-green paddocks toward the ancient Gondwana rainforest ranges beyond - a landscape that transforms spectacularly from sunrise through to dusk.
Set high on an elevated ridgeline to embrace cooling easterly breezes, the residence has been lovingly nurtured for almost four decades and offers a sense of warmth, calm and connection that is increasingly difficult to find. The home itself is perfectly positioned amongst sweeping lawns, established gardens, citrus trees, towering eucalyptus and camellias, creating an idyllic sanctuary immersed in nature.
The land is equally impressive. Approximately 30 acres of rich alluvial river flats, complete with a water licence and pristine Bellinger River frontage, provide endless opportunity for recreation, hobby farming or future agricultural pursuits, while the remaining timbered forest offers a private ecological haven abundant with native wildlife. Launch a kayak from your own private stretch of riverbank and spend afternoons exploring crystal-clear waterways amongst platypus, sea eagles and some of the region's finest fishing.
Beyond the gates, the lifestyle on offer continues to attract creatives, entrepreneurs and established hospitality operators from Sydney's Eastern Suburbs, the Northern Beaches and Byron Bay. The eclectic and highly sought-after township of Bellingen has become one of regional Australia's most exciting lifestyle destinations - renowned for its welcoming community, thriving arts and music culture, exceptional food scene and strong environmental ethos.
The region's continued growth and desirability are reflected in the arrival and investment of highly regarded operators and businesses including Three Blue Ducks, the Eltham Hotel collective, The Banya Bathhouse and a wave of boutique hospitality and wellness ventures recognising the enormous future potential of the area.
Perfectly positioned, the property enjoys the convenience of being just 10 minutes from the centre of Bellingen, a short drive to Thora General Store for day-to-day essentials, and within easy reach of the breathtaking UNESCO World Heritage-listed rainforest of Dorrigo National Park. In the opposite direction, the pristine coastline awaits only 15 minutes away, with stunning coastal pockets including North Beach, Mylestom and Hungry Head offering exceptional surfing, fishing, boating, diving, nature walks and endless opportunities to explore the waterways with family and friends.
Properties of this calibre, scale and position are becoming increasingly difficult to recreate. With current building costs, tightening planning controls and the scarcity of quality riverfront landholdings close to town, this is not only an exceptional lifestyle offering but also a highly compelling long-term opportunity in one of regional New South Wales' most tightly held lifestyle destinations.
A property where position, beauty and opportunity align in spectacular fashion.
