154 Tuntable Creek Road, The Channon NSW 2480

The Channon is a renowned Arts and Crafts village known for its original Country Markets. Conveniently located just a 40-minute drive from the coast, it offers residents a unique blend of natural beauty, including lush rainforest, striking mountain and valley vistas, as well as swiftly flowing creeks and waterfalls. This area has long been sought after by those looking for a lifestyle change, often called 'tree-changers'. Historically, before being recognized for alternative living, The Channon was predominantly made up of large land holdings that included vibrant cattle farms, tall timber forests, and productive fruit and vegetable farms benefiting from rich volcanic soils and plentiful water resources. Among these, a select few large properties remain, including the 160-acre parcel currently available.

The village serves as an essential hub within a 20-kilometer radius of The Channon district. It hosts a thriving general store, post office, laundry, and petrol station. Though the tea and coffee house is currently closed, the area features a butter-factory transformed into a well-frequented tavern and restaurant. Community facilities include both a preschool and a primary school, a multi-purpose hall, and tennis courts, which are central to the village’s welcoming social atmosphere. With limited housing and land available, properties of this size and designation are particularly rare and highly desirable. The Channon enjoys recognition as a tourist village and a gateway to natural attractions like Protestors Falls and the nearby National Park.

The main residence on this upscale property has been stylishly remodeled to suit families or those who enjoy hosting gatherings, complemented by a beautiful inground swimming pool. Key highlights of the estate include:

• One of the few substantial land parcels in close proximity to a North Coast tourist village or town.
• A well-managed and maintained property featuring significant income potential backed by a ten-year water licence.
• New fencing in the lower paddocks enhancing land management.
• Landscaped to include flats adjacent to a long frontage on the wide and fast-flowing Tuntable Creek, rolling paddocks, extensive plateaus, and a striking rocky cliff line.
• Predominantly evergreen grounds, which are either cleared or lightly tree-studded, with some forested areas on the rocky ridge cap; much of the land is improved pasture.
• An original three-bedroom homestead secured by a large post and rail fence that's ideal for family living, plus a separate studio adjoining the shed.
• The house features restored polished timber floors and retains some original characteristics, yet has been fully updated with contemporary fittings, linings, and amenities, including modern white shutters throughout. Additional conveniences include gas hot water, an induction cooktop stove, and a 9kW solar system comprising 30 panels.
• Several building sites spread over approximately two-thirds of the property, each offering panoramic views of the creek valley and surrounding mountains.
• An oversized three-bay machinery shed suitable for vehicles and storage.
• Approximately three acres have been dedicated to creek regeneration, with an estimated 13,000 native trees planted to enhance biodiversity and the natural aesthetic; power is available at the creek.
• The property is only 1.5 kilometers from the village, 20 kilometers from Lismore, and 46 kilometers from Byron Bay’s beachside.

This property combines lifestyle and productivity in a sought-after semi-rural setting perfect for those seeking a unique and self-sustaining home environment.
