Flattened 360 degree image - timber & mudbrick with timber slab walls

This architect designed timber & mudbrick home offers 2 bedrooms plus sleeping loft, polished timber floors, milled timber slab walls, high ceilings, and covered northern verandah on a very private 1.75 ac (6952 sq m) block in Bellingen within 1500m of schools, parks, shops, clubs & cafes. It has current council approval to subdivide into 3 blocks with the house remaining on close to an acre. In one of Bellingen’s best streets it’s a great place to live and a great investment.


Peace & privacy	Bedroom opening to verandah


This handcrafted home is set well back from the road, in an elevated position, nestled privately in it’s own little rainforest. The 2 bedroom house is actually the first stage of a two stage approved design, with the second stage adding another bedroom, more living area and more deck. If you want a bigger home you can run with the already approved plans or you could submit new plans of your own.


Polished timber floors and high ceilings	Looking to the back verandah

The 2 bedrooms both open onto covered verandahs and the sleeping loft offers that delightful experience of watching the sunrise from bed. The open plan living/kitchen area is a beautiful space with polished timber floors (extra wide coastal blackbutt), which indeed extend throughout the entire house and the kitchen boasts a serving window to the northern verandah, timber benches and a double sink - it’s simple but it works.



Open plan living with open gables	Looking from the back verandah

The lovely large bathroom offers French doors to a paved patio area, a clawfoot bath, a big separate shower, dual flush toilet and great timber features. The cathedral ceilings and floor to ceiling windows in the living area provide lots of light and a great feeling of space – so although the house is small you don’t feel cramped at all. There’s a great flat area to the north of the house where young kids can play in easy view of the kitchen and for older kids there’s a veritable adventure land ‘out the back’. The original owners planted lots of endemic rainforest species and fruit trees that provide a great wildlife corridor, excellent privacy, and something to eat when you’re in the garden.

Servery window from kitchen to verandah

Under the house is the laundry, lots of dry storage space and an undercover clothesline that gets the morning sun! There’s a mudbrick garden shed next to a huge mango tree and if you want to subdivide there is a current council approval that expires in May 2012. The subdivision plan creates a 1000 sq m block (quarter acre), a 2025 sq m block (half acre) and the house remains on a 3925 sq m block (one acre).



Very cute mudbrick shed	Northern verandah and flat playing area

Other features include louvres that draw an excellent breeze and provide fantastic cross flow ventilation and open gables that let you star gaze from bed at night. This is a great property offering the privacy of rural living with the convenience of living in town. In one of Bellingen’s best streets it makes a great home, a great investment (for development) or both. The property is currently rented @ $260 pw with the lease expiring on 21st May 2009 Inspections are by appointment or open house - to arrange an inspection or to make further enquiries, please use the contact details below
