Fresh air, nature, wildlife, bush walks and creek swimming – enjoy all of this, whilst taking in the sweeping and magnificent mountain views.

This 200 acre property, which comprises two separately owned blocks of 100 acres each, is located at the entrance to World Heritage listed Wollumbin National Park and is the ideal location for a family retreat.

Located on Mt Warning Road in the Tweed Shire, the property is largely untouched and includes old growth forest, as well as it’s own pure water source.

According to Gabriela Soelkner, who owns one of the properties, this is a lifestyle block, offering the opportunity for a truly organic way of life.

“The property is perfectly set up for someone to create their own peaceful retreat,” Ms Soelkner said.

“It’s close enough to town to have access to all the modern facilties, but far enough away to provide a secluded, quiet and pure organic lifestyle.

“The volcanic soil is ideal for living off the land and growing your own fruit and vegetables and the running creek provides a never ending, completely natural water source.”

Ms Soelkner, who has lived on the property for more than 35 years, said her days normally start with a bush walk and, in summer, end with a dip in one of the freshwater creeks.

Christopher Jones, Director of Savills Gold Coast, said the property provides the seclusion of a remote location without the inconvenience of living too far from town.

“Just a 15 minute drive from Murwillumbah and 45 minutes from the Gold Coast or Byron Bay, this parcel of land is exceptional in every way,” Mr Jones said.

“Not only does the property feature extraordinary mountain views, it also has its own natural water source and is surrounded by extensive rainforests, making it unique and private.

“The sweeping lawn framed by established forest and gardens provides the perfect building site with ample room for a large residence or retreat, while the elevated site looks up to the rocky face of Mt. Uki and is overlooked by a magnificent rock bluff, fringed with spear lilies.

“The permanent water of Korrumbyn Creek, which was once the original Murwillumbah water supply, runs over ancient bed rock, providing the purist of water.”

The properties, which have been owned by the same family since 1979, is currently home to a character laden studio, situated among old rock terraced gardens that blend into the rainforest.

Sealed roads lead into the two properties, which can be purchased as a total 200 acres, or as individual 100 acre lots.

Both 100 acre blocks have approved building envelopes.
