Flattened 360 degree image - This beautifully handcrafted mud brick and timber home is like a rare work of art

 

This beautifully handcrafted mud brick and timber home is like a rare work of art set on approximately 6 acres (2.4ha) of pristine rainforest just 6km (5 min. drive) from the heart of Bellingen.  Offering 2 bedrooms with built-in robes, inside and outside kitchens, inside & outside bathrooms, polished timber floors, French doors, leadlight doors and windows, wide covered decks and lots more, together with a separate studio, garden shed, workshop, 2 carports and loads of wildlife.

The peace and tranquility found at this property is literally palpable, set in its own rainforest paradise with spring fed dam and an absolute abundance of wildlife including many species of birds, koalas, possums, goannas and lots more.  What’s more many of them are somewhat ‘people friendly’ and it is hard to describe the joy derived from watching and sharing with the many regular visitors to the dam.

Beautifully handcrafted mud brick and timber home Wide covered decks and rare rainforest
  

The home itself, and indeed the whole property, could well be described as a work of art and it is certainly filled with love.  You enter via some easy timber steps and cross the wide covered deck as you take in the splendor of the handcrafted mud bricks and the selected local hardwoods used throughout.  The timber entry foyer allows anticipation of what is to come as you pass through the dining area with French doors to the back deck looking through the Bangalow palms and other rainforest species over the personal pond and rockery with flowing water feature to the gulley with the dam below.

The original owners had a vision for a luxuriously natural home set in the lush local rainforest and blending the two together.  The current owners have continued in the true heart of this vision and the love lavished on this property since its creation is testimony to how special it is.  If this sounds like a vision that you could continue then an inspection sooner rather than later is recommended.

Inspections are by appointment - to arrange an inspection or to make further enquiries, please use the contact details below.
