Description

Such an amazing example of timeless elegance, this Classic Queenslander full of original features will feel like home from the first time you visit. The 39.46 acre piece of paradise is ambiently nestled in a gently elevated section of the Coffee Camp valley running from a 2 acre fenced house-paddock accommodating the home and fabulous orchards, to roughly 20 acres opposite of gentle to flat, mostly cleared land perfect for cattle or horses. With rich soils and an easy terrain, virtually any agricultural pursuit is possible!

The remaining 18 acres is forested and is inclined at the foothill of a mountain. And with such a convenient location just 5 minutes to Nimbin, dreams of expanding into camping and eco-tourism (STCA) are achievable. The holding runs down to the ever flowing and meandering Bishops Creek which is locally revered for its rocky outcrops with cascading falls viewed from the property, and numerous swimming holes.

The beautifully presented home is steeped in history being the original big homestead of the Bishops Creek Dairy circa 1896. With a blend of contemporary updates for modern living the dwelling has multiple living spaces and a clever floorplan which would allow for separated living – especially valuable for extended families or for a teenage retreat. A captivating country estate, the home is surrounded by lush greenery including beautiful mature specimen trees and palms with a garden-lined driveway and turning circle and a backdrop of picturesque hills behind the home. This property’s point of difference, however, is the north-facing dramatic view enjoyed from the home’s front verandah and northern rooms, the long and spacious eastern sunroom and the backyard. Akin to being in the front seats at the theatre, you look out to the ever-changing hues of the mid-distant steep cliff faces of a forested mountain in your foreground and as if on demand, every time it rains you are privy to a myriad of glistening waterfalls. Moreover, in extended rain one turns into a huge, constant and mesmerising ‘bridal veil’ waterfall. Think “Lord of the Rings”!

Presented at a realistic price, there are too many features to describe, so this one’s worth an inspection. If it’s serenity and the charming ambiance of yesteryear you crave, this one’s a must-see. Consider the list below, then ring Suzy Or John for a private tour.
