Looking for an affordable tree-change? This sustainable timber pole house set on two acres has all the desirable elements for a contented country lifestyle without the big price tag. Set in a Strata-Titled community (meaning you can apply for a housing loan) your 2 acres comes with a share in 800ac of regenerating bush as well as community buildings including huge hall, social space and arts and crafts centre. This community has been established for over 40 years and is well regarded as an effectively functioning Community on the Far North Coast with well maintained access roads. Because By-laws prohibit cats and dogs to protect abundant wildlife, this is truly a pocket of nature’s wonderland with most Lots having sensational mountain views and/or beautiful running streams in the gullies. This 2 acre share therefore offers sustainable living in a secluded paradise. It has views to Border Ranges and Mackellar Range with access to cliffs and bush walks!

The residence is a rustic elevated 150m2 home clad in western red cedar. By ‘bush-home’ standards this is quite a large dwelling and is designed with space in mind. It is also a very solid construction using quality timbers and includes hardwood flooring in most (but not all) of the living level. It also features skylight areas to eliminate what is often a lighting difficulty with such constructions. As the photos will show, it would benefit from both a designer’s touch and a little TLC but is in good move-in ready condition. The current owners did not require the third bedroom space so use it as a living room, but a reconfiguration of the floorplan is as simple as furnishing differently. The single-level for living spaces include extensive verandahs, currently two bedrooms (one with a sink) and one bathrooms, kitchen/dining, bathroom/laundry and large lounge/office areas which, as stated, could combine with a third bedroom.

This home has expansive outdoor living areas and verandahs including a terraced hill behind the house suitable for granny flat, caravan or shed(s). There’s also a carport and a garden shed which will be handy for tending your established organic fruit trees. These include Mango, Avocado, Olive, Lychee, Davidson Plum, Sapote, Macadamia and Mulberry. So add some veggie gardens and your looking at a sustainable future! Assisting in this department is your off-grid solar system, solar hot water and rainwater tanks. This would be a life with NO BILLS.
The home enjoys wireless internet, and is approximately a 35 minute drive to Lismore, 30 minutes to Nimbin or 25 minutes to Kyogle. A day at the beach in Ballina is only a tad over an hour away.
