The home is solidly built from hardwood with an extension using bricks and sawment (sand, sawdust and cement) and it is approved by council. Hand crafted, it has an inexplicable warmth when you enter. A raw simplicity where the solid timber walls welcome you in and views of Wollumbin take your breath away. The home is charmingly rustic and everything has been handcrafted.

The KITCHEN has a woodfire heater with oven that is recessed into a bottle-walled alcove. A gas stove, gas fridge and polished timber benchtops. From the kitchen you look down to the living room and out to the northerly view.

A rough sawn and well trodden set of stairs with natural branches as bannisters, winds up from the kitchen level to the LOFT BEDROOM. This room is about as romantic as you can get. Perched up high with windows on all sides and barrelling views to Wollumbin, it is a magical room. It would make it hard to get up in the morning.

From the kitchen you step down to the LIVING ROOM, a large roundish room with trifold glass doors to the verandah, a woodfire for heating and access to 2 more bedrooms to the East. Step out to the verandah which runs along the northern side of the house and be mesmerised by the ever changing views of the Caldera. (Note that the photos were taken on a smoky day at the end of Winter which is typically burn off season).

The TWO EXTRA BEDROOMS are accessed from the living room and across a covered walkway. Both these rooms are well sized with windows on two sides. One has views of Wollumbin.

The BATHROOM is under the house. and can be accessed via stairs from the walkway between the bedrooms and living room. It has a bath with a view and a separate shower also with a view. The COMPOST TOILET is situated outside on the southern side of the house.

The home runs on a small solar system with new batteries. 12 volt lights with 240 volt power points. Gas fridge and tank water.

The LAND is on a North facing hillside just below the ridgeline. It has a gentle slope around the house that runs East/West with the lay of the land. Established fruit trees are dotted around the garden and a very particular genus of coffee has been cultivated and harvested by the owner for many years. After harvesting and removing the pulp, the owner would take the beans to be roasted in Lismore. A small DAM is located to the East of the house. Rock walls surround gardens and make retaining walls and a cement plunge pond is a great place to sit on a hot day whilst also keeping the wildlife watered. KOALAS can occasionally be seen in the trees and the wallabies, lizards, frogs, brush turkeys and chorus of birds will be you constant companions.

The Community CREEK - Within the 550 acres of communal land, is a glorious rainforest gully with a road that leads to a pristine creek. Multiple swimming holes can be found between rocky rapids and mossy boulders. All surrounded by rainforest. It's another world!
