1148 Tuntable Creek Road

Nimbin NSW 2480

When looking to purchase a country acreage the most usual considerations are the lay of the land, the type and condition of the dwelling, the ambiance (which is usually tied to the propertys outlook), and finally the value for money.

The Land: This gorgeous property ticks all these boxes and more! Set in a totally private portion of The Hill on Tuntable Creek Road, from the time you gently wind down the tree-lined driveway to the abode you will know youre in a property of distinction. The 15 acres (6.03 ha) of rich volcanic land with a large dam at its base is easy to maintain with mature rainforest pockets on any slightly steeper sections of the land, and lawned clearings or mature fruit/nut tree plantations on the bulk of the pretty acreage. For example, apart from an array of food trees and gardens, there are 100 lychee trees and 95 pecan trees.

The Dwellings Specs: For the astute purchaser with a knowledge and appreciation of architectural genres, this home is exceptional! The classic 1980s multi-level brick abode is borne out of the Bauhaus School of Design, and this is a beautifully maintained and presented example. Reminiscent of upmarket homes in prestigious leafy suburbs of areas such as Sydneys northern regions or of Canberras elite suburbs - these homes are designed using earthy double-brick to complement the lush greenery of their surrounds. They have an emphasis on glass curtains and light-wells to maximise light and the views of nature, and employ the warmth of timbers and contrasting neutral surfaces to create organic architecture. This gorgeous home takes advantage of everything these designs employ fabulous insulation for ultimate comfort, raked ceilings with exposed beams, flooding light with big views of the acreage, wide entertaining decks and multiple deep patio spaces, opening clerestory windows, clever storage ideas and spacious rooms throughout. This home is set over 4 split-levels with the big living room on the highest level, a slightly sunken kitchen with a lit walk-in-pantry, laundry (with 3rd toilet) and main dual-shower bathroom on another, the 3 carpeted king-sized bedrooms all with double built-ins on a third level, and a massive rumpus room with sealed under-house storage (think wine cellar!) plus its own large patio area at ground level. The primary suit has private patio access and its own ensuite with a huge and inviting spa bath as well as a large walk-in-robe. Whilst the living area and kitchen have floor coverings, the subfloor is made of magnificent tallowwood tongue and groove floorboards; untouched and ready for the savvy renovator to reveal! This home is in original but beautiful move-in-ready condition yet there is certainly scope for the budding designer to alter the interior design through dcor & cosmetic changes. However, there are two amazing features you wont want to alter the amazing atrium leading to the rumpus room, and the quirky and understated use of over-room or stair storage areas to add to the already large capacity storage for linens, suitcases and the like. Such a treat! You could easily update the patina to match current trends, or retain the 80s feel, since the original features are classic and in perfect condition. This one will get the creative juices flowing either way!!
