2286 NIMBIN ROAD, Nimbin NSW 2480

What an immaculately presented home inside and outside this is. This timber home has all the hallmarks of the “between wars” architectural period with nods to the art deco movement; however, the owners have thoughtfully renovated by updating for contemporary living whilst retaining the beautiful character features of the home. Typical of its era this is a home of spacious rooms with a thoroughly practical floorplan – each space with a true connection to the lovely green spaces beyond. Set on an easily maintainable 5,165 m² of elevated flood-free land (just over 1 ¼ acres) the long-term owners have taken advantage of the deep setback from the road and created an oasis of delightfully landscaped gardens. There are gorgeous views from the home of the famous Nimbin Rocks and Blue Knob Mountain with sensational views of the whole range from the elevated backyard of the property. Moreover the home is surrounded by farmland affording you ‘forever privacy’. For easy maintenance the level backyard is fully terraced to the home with each terrace providing gardens for herbs, vegetables and colourful gardens. The gardens of this property are worthy of special mention with healthy rows of Mondo Grass and Liriope creating sightlines around the home’s walkways, patios, and leading out to lawn expanses featuring colourful specimen shrubs and trees. Food-gardens are plentiful, and there’s even an ‘understory’ garden in the wide northern patio. The home itself is simply beautiful. Freshly painted inside and with a new Colorbond roof, the owners have retained the art deco wooden trims and segmental archways throughout with a clever dividing wall to give privacy on entering the home from the front porch. There are many original interior features from ripple-glass doors (two French style) to high ceilings, featured lining boards in some areas, wainscoting panels, hardwood polished floorboards, and picture railing. Rather than one big open living/ kitchen/dining space, the floorplan features extra-wide openings between the rooms which gives an ‘open-plan’ feel whilst retaining the intimacy of separate spaces. The three bedrooms are all oversized (one with walk-in robes), especially the huge primary bedroom which also enjoys a glass opening to the covered northern patio. This is one of three covered entertainers’ patios, the rear patio being the full length of the home with triple access to the kitchen, all the utility rooms, and the sizeable separate lock up garage. One of the features of the floorplan is the number of mudroom, utility, storage and entry spaces, all with multiple entry points. Similarly the full-size bathroom has two entrances for convenience. The kitchen is the heart of the home being very large, ‘skylit’, central, open-plan to the eating spaces and with updated appliances including a gas cooktop and dishwasher. This is also a comfortable home, with air-conditioning, ceiling fans, whirligigs, and a large enough wood-fired heater to service the whole home. Outside the original features continue, with the extensive use of decorative concrete block retaining walls and fencing combined with metal rails and gates – a classic example of mid-war homes. A fully fenced property with internal yard fencing suitable for children or pets, the out-buildings are outstanding. The original lockup garage with a later attached carport doubles as a workshop and storage room given its approximately 7 x 4 metre size and double height. For even more storage there are multiple out-buildings and multiple water storage tanks. For a quiet country lifestyle, proximity to a tourist village, and a home with all the trimmings and not a thing to do, this one is for you.
