1 Tumbulgum Road, Murwillumbah NSW 2484

Situated on a generous 1313 square metre river bend lot, this iconic property on the Tweed River offers a unique opportunity that blends rich local history with versatile living arrangements. Notably recognized as a landmark residence with origins dating back over 120 years, it stands as the former home of ferries Captain Frank Lowe, benefiting from commanding views of the Tweed River that combine natural beauty and strategic vantage.

This substantial residence has been adapted over the past four decades as a guesthouse, featuring two distinct living quarters that promote flexibility and privacy. The main guesthouse comprises five double bedrooms, two singles, and three bathrooms, supported by a large, well-equipped kitchen that opens to communal living and dining areas. Additionally, a manager’s quarters provide an independent living space with a bedroom, sleepout, private kitchen, lounge, and bathroom facilities, creating a self-contained sanctuary separated from guest areas.

Architectural features like a spiral staircase lead to a generously sized master bedroom, offering a private retreat elevated above the communal spaces. The grounds are designed for minimal upkeep, including a secure detached garage and an expansive covered entertaining area with direct river access via a concrete staircase, ideal for relaxed outdoor gatherings and appreciating river breezes.

From a lifestyle perspective, the property’s location is highly advantageous, perched safely above flood levels yet intimately connected to the vibrant Murwillumbah CBD, within a short 500-meter walk to diverse cafes, galleries, and dining destinations. Prospective owners could maintain its current use, transform it into an upscale bed and breakfast leveraging its proximity to the upcoming Tweed Valley Rail Trail, or reimagine it as a grand riverfront family home, making it particularly suitable for investors, large families, or those seeking a unique riverside lifestyle.
