Nestled high in the mountaintops of Bentley, this breathtaking rainforest retreat captures 360-degree views across the sought-after Northern Rivers. Set on 100 acres of semi-cleared and untouched rainforest, this property offers the perfect blend of modern living, natural beauty, and complete tranquility - ideal for anyone seeking to truly escape.
Step into your very own private rainforest paradise, complete with a waterfall, lush walking tracks, and an abundance of native wildlife. With two separate dwellings plus a modern granny flat, this rare offering provides endless possibilities - from a multi-generational family setup to a creative retreat or dual-income opportunity.
The architecturally designed master residence sits proudly atop the ridge, capturing breathtaking views of Mount Nardi and the surrounding landscape. Recently completed to lock-up stage, it's ready for you to finish and transform into your dream home. Originally envisioned as a seven-to-eight-bedroom masterpiece, the potential here is truly remarkable.
The second dwelling, the original homestead, has been beautifully renovated throughout and offers stylish, self-sufficient living. Featuring three bedrooms, a modern bathroom with clawfoot tub, commercial kitchen, and a cosy fireplace, this inviting home delivers warmth, comfort, and off-grid independence. Perched perfectly on the hill, it enjoys magical outlooks over the surrounding valleys by day and the sparkling Northern Rivers night lights by evening.
A modern granny flat/cabin adds further flexibility - complete with kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom - making it ideal as guest accommodation, a teenager's retreat, or an additional income stream.
The property also includes two large sheds to support all your farming or hobby needs - a 20m x 8m fully enclosed Colorbond shed with roller doors, plus a 16m x 10m open machinery shed. Once a thriving potato and echinacea farm, the rich red volcanic soil remains fertile and ready for cultivation. Combined with your own spring-fed dam, private waterfall, and approximately 1200mm of annual rainfall, the property is perfectly equipped for sustainable living.
Water storage is exceptional, with a total of 230,000 litres across brand-new tanks, including:
- 8 x 22,000L Poly tanks
- 1 x 40,000L concrete tank
- 2 x 5,000L Poly tanks
The main dwelling is fully off-grid, powered by an impressive solar system:
- 72kW off-grid solar system for the original home
The second dwelling has solar panels mounted to the dwelling but is just needing an inverter and batteries installed.
Additional highlights include:
- Greenhouse with veggie gardens and fruit trees (lemon, nectarine, plum, mulberry, and more)
- Easy 2WD access via a scenic mountain road
- Walking tracks to Oakey Creek and your own private waterfall
- Surrounded by state forest with BMX and mountain bike trails right at your doorstep
- Only 30 minutes to Casino and 35-40 minutes to Lismore
This is a property that truly needs to be experienced in person. From the serene rainforest setting to the endless potential and off-grid convenience, this retreat invites you to live freely, sustainably, and surrounded by nature's finest.
