This amazing property is approx 16 km (20 min drive) from Bellingen and offers a delightful mix of absolutely private north facing cleared land (approx 15 acres) with the balance in lush rainforest featuring the permanent Rickerby’s Creek straight out of the forest , running through the magical fairy dell to the pristine Kalang River. The improvements are basic, but attractive with a small timber yurt, elevated and facing north, a 5000 gallon tank, pump and pipe from the river, pit toilet and power supplied by a generator. A perfectly private & self sustainable property with magnificent views.

This property is primarily about the land and other natural features so let’s start with the river frontage to the Kalang River. On the river side of the road this property owns approx 3.5 acres with 180 m of river frontage and one of the most delightful swimming/fishing holes you will find. Meandering through the rainforest track from the flat, cleared ‘pergola area’ you emerge at a story book scene with 2 sets of rapids flowing into your own private swimming hole flanked by your private sandy beach & flowing on into an even larger, deeper hole.

The flat cleared land near the river is of course, very fertile and may suit crops such as organic garlic with easy irrigation opportunities directly from the river and the possibility of starting a sustainable business enterprise that could provide both food and cash flow.

As we leave the river and traverse the driveway to the hidden yurt we cross another very fertile and mostly flat paddock (approx 6 ac) that would also be suitable for agricultural pursuits of many varieties. As we continue our journey up the driveway we emerge at a completely hidden and perfectly private clearing (approx 5 ac) and at last spy the timber yurt high atop the hill and enjoying expansive views of the valley and surrounds through to distant mountains.

The yurt itself is basically one room combining kitchen/living & bedroom, there’s a small adjoining room with custom built bunk beds and a generous covered deck to the north taking in those beautiful views and catching the breezes as they follow the river through the Kalang Valley (this deck is often used as the main bedroom!). There’s an outside bath and shower, a pit toilet, gas hot water and cooking, a 5000 gallon water tank that gravity feeds to the property and is topped up from the river via a firefighting pump and buried pipe, and a generator to provide power currently although the plan was to install a solar system

From here we take the walking path through the rich rainforest to arrive at the absolutely magical fairy dell, deep in the rainforest with Rickerby’s Creek providing a permanent, pristine waterhole surrounded by lush palms, ferns, grass trees, orchids and more. From here there is almost no end to the bush walking you can do, both on your own 112 acre property and extending into the state forest beyond.

In short a rare commodity- 112 acres of rare riverfront land just 16 k from Bellingen with an already prepared, north facing house site and timber yurt as basic accommodation available right now and ideal as temporary housing whilst you build your dream house or if your needs are more simple..make it your permanent house. With permanent water in the Kalang River and in Rickerby’s Creek together with a nice mix of cleared land (approx 15 ac) and timbered land (approx 97 ac) this property is a unique combination.
