Nestled in a quiet, sunny valley less than 8kms from Mullumbimby and 3kms from Shearwater School is a fertile small acreage which has been home to a local family for over 40 years. Embraced by the Koonyum Range escarpment with views to Boogarem Falls, the home yard slopes gently to the pools and cascades of your private slice of Mullumbimby Creek. This topography ensures the home has never flooded.
Named “Gundi Maian” (home by the rivulet in Kamilaroi language), lush tropical and native vegetation and a fruit orchard host abundant birds and wildlife. You could be sharing your morning coffee with a family of kookaburras on the breezy, covered deck.
The home has a distinctive North Coast vibe, with all areas opening to the beautiful views and sounds of nature. The open plan kitchen/dining areas with fridge/freezer, engineered stone benchtops, Miele appliances and central fireplace are graced by insulated cathedral ceilings and expansive views of the garden and escarpment. Solar hot water and 44,000L+ of rainwater tanks supply the house.
Elsewhere on the 5 acres is a huge, insulated rural shed with workshop, bathroom and kitchenette. A further 44,000L of rainwater storage is nearby. Ride-on lawnmower included.
The seller has fond memories of rock-hopping up the creek to the pool at the bottom of the falls, being cosy by the fire watching the waterfall after rains and falling asleep to the soothing sounds of the creek at night watching the full moon over the escarpment. The location, privacy and rural lifestyle so close to town will mean you might be waiting another 40 years before an opportunity like this arises again.
