This impeccably maintained timber home reflects the architectural elegance typical of the between-wars period, enhanced by art deco influences. Renovations have been thoughtfully carried out to blend classic character with contemporary living features, preserving original charm while upgrading for modern convenience. The spacious floorplan offers ample room and practical layout, fostering a genuine connection between interior spaces and the verdant surroundings.

Positioned on an easily managed 4,952 square metres (approximately 1.25 acres) of elevated, flood-free land, the property benefits from significant setback from the road, creating a private landscaped oasis. The home enjoys captivating views of the renowned Nimbin Rocks and Blue Knob Mountain, with spectacular vistas across the entire range from the elevated rear yard. Surrounded by farmland, the site offers total privacy and tranquility.

The fully terraced backyard facilitates low maintenance and features multiple garden spaces ideal for herbs, vegetables, and vibrant flora. The gardens exhibit meticulous care with healthy rows of Mondo Grass and Liriope accentuating paths, patios, and lawns, complemented by a variety of specimen shrubs and trees. An additional understory garden is situated near the broad northern patio, adding aesthetic and functional appeal.

Inside, the home has been freshly painted and sports a new Colorbond roof. Retained are numerous original details including art deco wood trims, segmental archways, and a partition wall enhancing privacy at the front entry porch. Character features include ripple-glass French doors, high ceilings, decorative lining boards, wainscoting panels, polished hardwood floors, and picture rails. The floorplan includes extra-wide openings between separate living, dining and kitchen areas, imparting an open yet intimate atmosphere.

All three bedrooms are generously proportioned, with the main bedroom featuring a walk-in robe and direct glass access to the covered northern patio—one of three covered entertaining areas on the property. The full-length rear patio allows triple access to the kitchen, various utility rooms, and the large separate lock-up garage.

The home’s layout includes numerous mudroom, storage, and entry spaces, each with multiple access points. The bathroom is conveniently designed with two entrances. The kitchen serves as the heart of the home; it is large, naturally lit with a skylight, open-plan to dining spaces, and equipped with modern appliances including a gas cooktop and dishwasher. Comfort is enhanced with air conditioning, ceiling fans, whirligigs, and a wood-fired heater sufficient for whole-home heating.

Original exterior elements continue with decorative concrete block retaining walls and fencing combined with metal railings and gates, typical of mid-war construction. The fully fenced grounds include internal fencing suitable for children or pets.

Outbuildings on the property are notable for their size and utility. The original lock-up garage, augmented by an attached carport, doubles as a workshop and storage space, measuring approximately 7 by 4 meters with double height ceilings. Additional outbuildings and multiple water storage tanks further support the property's functionality.

Offering a peaceful country lifestyle close to a well-known tourist village, this home features both classic charm and modern conveniences with nothing left to do but enjoy. This property presents a unique opportunity for comfortable, private living in an inspiring setting.
