This handcrafted, timber home enjoys delightful flood-free seclusion on 23 acres (8.312ha) of native rainforest and native bush overlooking the rare Rosewood River – straight from the National Park to you. The main house offers 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and lots of open plan indoor/outdoor living with views of the river from most rooms, whilst another pavillion across a covered walkway offers an ideal guest or granny space, also with views of the river. Just 12 mins (15.8km) flood-free driving from Bellingen this is really rare real estate.

From the road you see nothing at all and as you start down the driveway you literally enter another world – a world featuring the pristine Rosewood River along with amazing rainforest and native bush, together with an oasis in the middle that just may be your new home. Pass through the forested gully and arrive at your oasis, and instantly hear the magnificent sounds of running water and lots of birds.

Please watch our special feature presentation of this property.

Cross the covered verandah that wraps around 3 sides of this home and step into a luxuriously large living space (7 x 7m) with lots of light, air and river views, as well as a slow combustion fire for cool winter nights. Of course, you could have come in the formal entry to the entry foyer, providing a buffer between the living area and the ‘Bali Room’ (bedroom 2, 3 x 4m), with ensuite bathroom and built-in beds and cupboards.

The open-plan kitchen/dining is spacious (6 x 4.5m) and also enjoys those river views. The kitchen features. fine timber cabinetmaking, as indeed does the whole house, and offers plenty of cupboards and bench space, walk-in pantry, ILVE extra-wide gas cook top and electric oven, dishwasher and double sink, with views that will have them queuing up to do the dishes!

Upstairs, we find the very generous main bedroom (8 x 5m) with ensuite bathroom, lots of light, river views and reverse-cycle air conditioning. Also upstairs is the 3rd bedroom/study (6 x 3m) and both these rooms are carpeted, with more fine timber features and a continuation of that quality feel.

Back downstairs again we simply must spend some time on the wonderfully wide covered deck (9 x 4m) overlooking the river, and pinch yourself to make sure you’re not dreaming., then if you can drag yourself away, walk the 8m covered walkway to another pavilion. It’s ideal for guests, grannies, teenagers and more, with a wide deck overlooking the river, outside hot tub, large living/studio area (9 x 5m) kitchenette, upstairs bedroom, large bathroom and laundry.

The timber features continue here with timber benches, built-in timber desk, timber floors upstairs and tiled floors downstairs. There’s reverse-cycle air conditioning, a slow combustion log burner and if it’s too cool to swim in the river, fall into the hot tub and enjoy!

Outside here you will find well-established, easy-care gardens with lawns, fruit trees, herb garden, paved paths and a 9 x 12m shed, complete with lights, power, built-in benches and shelves.

Riverfront is rare and Rosewood riverfront is even rarer, and there is no doubt that this is a major feature of this magnificent property. The pristine water is delightful to drink and swim in, with idyllic private swimming holes right at your back door. With the world heritage Dorrigo National Park just 20 min (21.9km) away and the beach just 30 mins (32.6km) away, you’d have to agree that this property is ideally located.

But this is the star attraction

The handcrafted timber home features local native timbers and is designed to take full advantage of the beautiful river environment with open-plan living areas, courtyard and large covered decks for outdoor living and entertaining. Large windows and doors bring the garden and river views into every room and with fantastic cross-floor ventilation it is naturally cool in summer.

So, if this sounds too good to be true, come and see for yourself and this could become your perfect paradise.
