Paradise Found - Private Acreage Retreat

House Sold - COMMISSIONERS CREEK NSW

Set in an incredibly private, picturesque corner of the beautiful Tweed Valley, this magnificent rural retreat offers a welcome, peaceful escape from today’s fast-paced world.

Surrounded by regenerated sub-tropical rainforest, the 2 hectare/5 acre block boasts a fully renovated Queenslander home with delightful low maintenance landscaped gardens, easy maintained lawns, wide frontage to a babbling creek and spring-fed water hole.
Overlooking world heritage listed National Parks, you’re surrounded by large acreage holdings, providing the benefit of complete and utter tranquillity and privacy.

You’ll be captivated by the gorgeous 120-year-old Queenslander which has been meticulously and superbly restored and extended to perfectly blend its original character features with our modern lifestyle. Originally a colonial worker’s cottage, the home was relocated from Brisbane in 1997 with approval by Tweed Shire Council. The proud owners can list the provenance of just about every floorboard, window, light fitting and feature in the property – a full list is available. Features include stunning original fretwork, gleaming 6 inch wide Hoop Pine floorboards and VJ wall lining board plus 12ft Hoop Pine VJ ceilings.

You and your visitors can enjoy regular visits from rainforest parrots, kookaburras, honey-eaters, pigeons, pheasants, owls and bowerbirds in anyone of the cleared areas around the property.
With fertile, free-draining volcanic soil, the property offers further scope for potential market gardens or to set up a large vegetable garden to feed your family and friends.

From the home, you can enjoy lovely views to Mt Jerusalem and the Border Ranges National Parks, which are part of the world heritage listed rim of the extinct Mt Warning shield volcano, Wollumbin. An elevated viewing platform at the top of the property showcases panoramic views to the Border Ranges, The Pinnacle and Brummie’s Lookout.

I’ve been working as a Licenced Real Estate Agent for more than 25 years – throughout city, regional and rural areas. I make the property dream a reality. I’ve been providing property solutions for the Northern Rivers and Tweed Community for nearly 10 years, having relocated from Sydney in 2014, and last year I stepped out of a franchise to launch my own real estate agency brand. I love this part of the world and feel very connected to the community. My experience in the industry is extensive, from estate development and planning, residential sales, home and land, retail leasing and commercial. My true passion for real estate and property began when I worked with the team developing Harrington Park and Harrington Grove, one of the largest residential community developments at Camden, New South Wales. The 856ha master-planned Estate in south-west Sydney wasn’t just about selling a block of land and developing another housing estate – it was about helping to set up a community. It was an inspiring model, and it sparked my passion for wanting to help people find their ultimate lifestyle. And this is where I differentiate from other real estate professionals. I don’t see my clients as ‘three bedrooms, one bath, two car’, I see them as people that I can help, whether it’s finding their forever home or providing advice about which direction to go. I’m not afraid to have the challenging conversations if I know it will benefit my client. I have a strong network locally, nationally and internationally. I am often referred to vendors from previous clients and have many repeat clients. I walk with my clients every step of the way through the property journey – sharing the milestones, standing beside them with pre-auction jitters and celebrating the wins. It’s the best part!
