Set on over 2 acres of absolute river front at Bellingen's edge, this property offers a huge 4 bedroom timber & stone home as well as a separate, fully furnished 2 bedroom timber & stone cottage - approved and operating as holiday accommodation. Offering 5m raked ceilings, polished timber floors, huge French doors and big covered decks with mountain & river views and a private swimming/fishing hole, all within easy walk of shops, schools, clubs and cafes.

This property offers possibly the very best combination in Bellingen. Let's start with the main house - at approx 325 sq m it is of generous proportions and set up to capitalize on the magnificent views and absolute privacy. The children/guest wing offers 3 double bedrooms, all with built in robes and high ceilings, a bathroom with deep bath, timber vanity and large separate shower, as well as a separate toilet and 3 linen/storage cupboards.

Then to the luxuriously large open plan living area with 5m raked ceilings and big French doors opening onto the large covered deck and looking out to the ultimate view of the Bellinger River and the Great Dividing Range. With a combination of polished timber floors and new carpet this area is light and inviting with ample room for lounge and dining setting and adjoins the lovely large kitchen which offers gas cook top, electric oven, loads of drawers and cupboards, a 3 door pantry, granite bench tops, a dish washer, high ceilings and loads of space.

As we move towards the main bedroom we find the formal lounge and dining rooms, also adjoining the large covered deck and enjoying those mountain & river views. Once more, there are 5m ceilings with exposed beams and a free standing, central open fireplace with very efficient Jetmaster firebox. There's a continuation of the timber dado walls found throughout this home, and 2 sets of magnificent 2.5m French doors complete with arched glass and double hung sash windows adjacent.

In this area we also find a beautifully private and separate deck overlooking the large fish and lily filled pond, perfect for breakfast, lunch or dinner, morning or afternoon tea, or just reading a book! The main bedroom itself is generous in size (4.5 x 5.5m) and offers a walk in robe, an ensuite bathroom and yet another set of those magnificent French doors opening onto the deck and enjoying that amazing view.

The separate cottage, known as "Jelga Cottage" is also stone and timber with 2 bedrooms, bathroom/laundry, separate toilet and large open plan living/dining/kitchen. It's fully furnished and is an approved and operating holiday cottage established for over 10 years. The zoning allows for the cottage to have its own title, subject to council approval, and it enjoys plenty of privacy - ideal for parents, grand parents, teenagers or guests.

Outside is amazing with 170m of absolute river frontage, ideal for swimming, canoeing, fishing or floating. With well established walking tracks to the river, through native bush that is home to at least 75 varieties of birds either sighted or heard on the property, there is very little lawn maintenance and a major feature is the massive 250 year old small leaf fig tree.

The wildlife is abundant, including echidnas, opossums, lace monitors and water dragons, and you can watch the platypus family in the river while enjoying your early morning cup of tea on the deck, or be right there with them on your very own river bank. Well above the one in one hundred flood level, this property also enjoys riparian river rights and 2 separate entrances from different streets, with a double carport and 3 additional car spaces.

This large timber & stone home is filled with character and good vibes, and has utilized a combination of recycled and new materials in conjunction with a professional colour coordinator advising on internal colours, and Feng Shui considerations included in the design. The decking is new, the carpet is new, and the view... is ancient.
