Perched high overlooking the Bellinger River on a flood-free home site and boasting a private leafy setting, glorious views and a position just 5km from Bellingen's CBD: this sensational property is a rare offering. With an updated 1950s weatherboard home and deep-water river frontage, this site offers one of the best swimming holes on the Bellinger as your backyard, where you can swim, fish, watch the turtles or take a relaxing canoe down this amazing stretch of river. The home has been beautifully reconfigured by the current owners to take advantage of the river outlook; including an open plan living/dining area with 6-meter wide floor-to-ceiling glass sliding doors opening seamlessly onto the rear deck. The home is graced with classic features, tallowwood timber floors, air conditioning, a cosy wood fire, a solar hot water system plus 2kw of solar panels. The kitchen has a gorgeous blackbutt timber benchtop, black granite sink, induction cooktop with ducted extractor and Bosch dishwasher. There is an established fruit orchard with irrigation, raised veggie garden beds and 2 x 20,000Ltr rainwater tanks which provide more than enough water for the house and garden. Small holdings with direct river access are extremely rare up here; very few properties surpass the lifestyle on offer from this home. Whether it's your own home, investment, or potentially a superb tourism accommodation type of premises you are after, this one is sure to impress.
