Lovingly handcrafted with wood and stone throughout, this private and peaceful home in Chillingham Village radiates natural elegance and luxury. With artisan ceramic and stained glass flourishes, this home is a genuine work of art.
This house has stood the test of time. One of the original houses in the village with extensive renovations, it was originally built in the 1880s. Back then, they built homes to last. Completely flood free, the house was not impacted by the 2017, 2022 or 2025 weather events. Living here comes with peace of mind.
The extensive stone walls and garden terracing must be seen to be believed. The stone walls create separate, private outdoor spaces and encourage local plants and wildlife to flourish. There are vegetable garden terraces and a ‘food forest’ terrace (with orange, fig, olive, black sapote, bananas, tamarillo, mango and other established fruit trees). Two native beehives with stingless native bees can be included in the sale.
A large wood fire pizza oven and undercover patio look out to the garden terraces. Great for entertaining.
The large house battery system means the house can be completely self-sufficient off-grid or run with optional grid backup. It comes with a full solar electricity/battery system and a water heating system including:
- 6.6kw of solar panels,
- 4 lithium batteries with 14.2kWh storage capacity,
- A solar hot water system, with an instant gas hot water backup.
The solar inverters and batteries are stored in the large, spacious workshop/garage below the main living areas. For more tool storage, there’s a garden shed with an attached playroom/studio nestled in the trees.
Rainwater is stored in 4 tanks totalling 27,000 L (7200 Gallons). Water is pumped from 3 catchment tanks up to a header tank, which then gravity feeds to the house. No electricity needed! In addition to physical filtration, drinking water is further filtered by an under-sink carbon and UV filter.
A clean and well-made chicken coop houses up to a dozen chickens. Automatic doors, feeders and an established chicken run mean fresh eggs everyday. Four cute chickens are negotiable in the property sale.
Air conditioning and ceiling fans keep the house cool. For the cosy winter months, a stylish log burner fireplace (installed 2022) warms and delights.
The area has reliable internet with NBN Fixed Wireless or Starlink with a 200Mbps average download speed. Perfect for working from home.
Up to 5 cars can be parked off the street: 1 large garage space, 1 additional small garage space, and 3 driveway parks.
Great for families with a local preschool across the road and the Chillingham Primary School two doors down. The Chillingham General Store and post office, with live music every Saturday, is a 5 minute walk away, along with the Community Hall and the famous Buck's Farm 'Banana Cabana'. The local choir and the Chillingham Market are a 5 minute walk away at the Chillingham Community Centre.
This beautiful home is a short 15 minutes from Murwillumbah and the local hospital. It’s only 35 minutes to:
- beautiful surf beaches,
- the brand-new Tweed Hospital, and
- Gold Coast Airport.
Tweed Shire Council rates are $1816 per year.
