This circa 1907 heritage timber farmhouse on 17 fertile, flat, riverfront acres east of Bellingen, is a classic of its era offering 3 bedrooms, 2 with ensuite bathrooms, and all with French doors onto verandahs. It has pressed metal ceilings, oiled hardwood floors, leadlight windows, a tasteful new kitchen and open plan living spilling onto hedge lined decks with expansive views and beautiful breezes.

They simply don't build homes like this one anymore - for many years it was home to dairy farmers and it's still surrounded by some of the best country you'll find. It enjoys a sense of majesty with its well-established gardens and commanding views over the river flats to the mountains.

Central living area - opened up.

Private deck & courtyard.

The main bedroom is approx 4 x 5.5m with feature leadlight windows, a big built in robe, an ensuite bathroom and French doors that open to views of the mountains over the private deck and courtyard. The second bedroom is approx 3.5 x3.5m with a walk in robe, an ensuite bathroom that includes the big old bath, and French doors that once again open to mountain views, private deck and courtyard. Bedroom three is approx 4 x 4m and is currently used as additional living area with its own French doors opening to another deck and views over fertile pasture.

The central living area has been opened up and is approximately 5 x 8m, featuring leadlight windows again with a unique set of five fold timber French doors that allow the living area to spill onto the hedge lined deck and do the most wonderful job of funnelling the almost ever present cool summer breeze through the whole house. There's town water connected and a brand new kitchen, recently installed with a commercial gas cook top & oven and views from the sink to the mountains and the rivers edge.

Absolute deepwater riverfront.

Outside, the well-established gardens attract much birdlife throughout the year, plus there's a double carport, the essential character filled (no not falling down) original garage and a 4 bay stable/machinery shed with roof only. The 17 acres are fully fenced with approximately 14 acres currently leased to the adjoining dairy farmer and the remaining 3 acres supporting a growing family of pedigree alpacas. Put simply this land is suitable for almost anything that prefers flat country - horses, crops, livestock - you name it, and the riverfront offers a recreational feature not often found for fishing, swimming, canoeing, or boating with the ability to boat from here to the river mouth and the big blue Pacific Ocean.

This truly is a classic Bellingen style property offering absolutely all the things that so many look for - a heritage home on easily maintained riverfront acres, close to town with mountain views. In it's almost one hundred year history it has had very few owners and this may be your opportunity to be the next one.
