21 Tumbulgum Road, Murwillumbah NSW 2484

Picture this: Morning light filters through stained-glass windows, casting jewelled patterns across polished hardwood floors as you pad barefoot to your wraparound verandah. Coffee in hand, you watch the Tweed River awaken—mist rising, a heron fishing, water reflecting the mountains. This isn't a holiday. This is home.

Welcome to 21 Tumbulgum Road, where a distinguished circa-1920 Queenslander offers something genuinely extraordinary in today's market: a property that doesn't ask you to choose between character and income, family and investment, beauty and practicality. Here, you get it all.

THE HOME THAT SOLVES EVERYTHING
Positioned on an exceptional 1,345m² holding with absolute river frontage and concrete levy wall, this meticulously maintained estate comprises a refreshed main residence and a self-contained one bedroom granny flat—the kind of versatility modern buyers crave but rarely find.


The Main Residence sprawls across generous proportions, every room breathing with 3.3-metre ceilings and drenched in natural light. Three spacious bedrooms each open through French doors to the enclosed wraparound verandah—your private morning sanctuary. Two distinct living areas (one featuring an elegant original fireplace) provide space for life's different rhythms: quiet reading here, lively entertaining there.
The stunning new kitchen becomes your heart-home: premium ILVE 900mm 6-burner gas cooktop, luxurious granite benchtops with waterfall edge, butler's pantry concealing a separate laundry. It's where Sunday roasts and Wednesday quick-dinners happen with equal ease. Freshly painted throughout with 150mm hardwood boards underfoot, every heritage detail—the fretwork, the VJ walls, the casement windows with textured glass, breezeways above the doors—has been lovingly preserved.
The self-contained, brick veneer, granny flat above the double lock-up garage presents your strategic advantage. Vaulted ceilings soar above timber floors. Gothic and stained-glass windows flood the space with character. Complete with one bedroom, living area, kitchen, and bathroom, it's utterly private with separate external access.
Here's where possibility explodes: House your aging parents close but independent. Welcome boomerang children home without sacrificing your peace. Generate income through Airbnb or secure long-term tenants at $480 - $520/week. Or keep it for when city friends inevitably beg to visit your river paradise.

THE OUTDOOR SYMPHONY
Between residence and granny flat, your private inground pool becomes the family gathering place—glass-fenced for safety, wrapped in hardwood decking, with covered entertaining areas for year-round pleasure. Children splash while you sip wine on the deck, river views beyond, citrus trees perfuming evening air.
The gardens have been thoughtfully layered: intimate courtyard spaces, mature trees providing dappled shade, tiered landscaping stepping toward your water frontage. Launch a kayak from your own riverbank. Cast a line at sunset. Watch pelicans glide past as working-from-home becomes working-from-here.

THE LOCATION ADVANTAGE
Just 600 metres to Murwillumbah's revitalized town center—award-winning cafes, farmers markets, galleries that rival Byron's—you can walk to Sunday brunch. Yet your property sits serenely set back behind established gardens and fencing, a private oasis that feels worlds away.
The broader picture? Gold Coast Airport & Southern Cross University: 25 minutes. Kingscliff's pristine beaches: 20 minutes. The Northern Rivers Rail Trail & World Heritage rainforests: on your doorstep. Only a short walk to the Murwillumbah Hospital or the $723 million Tweed Valley Hospital is a newly opened, state-of-the-art facility only 20 minutes' drive. This isn't isolation—it's elevation.

THE PRACTICAL PERFECTION
• Double lock-up garage + double carport + bi-fold gate access for your boat/caravan
• Dual driveway entries because traffic flow matters
• Three 5,000L water tanks supplementing mains supply
• New kitchen cabinetry in both main residence and granny flat
• Fresh interior paint creating move-in perfection
• Enclosed verandahs wrapping two sides of the home
• Elegant bathroom with claw-foot bath and two-way access
• 5.5Kw Solar System to help reduce over heads


WHO YOU ARE
You're the family navigating multigenerational care with grace. You're the investor who sees cash flow and capital growth. You're the tree-changer trading rat race for river views. You're the entrepreneur envisioning boutique accommodation in a booming tourism corridor. You're the buyer who understands that properties offering this much versatility on waterfront land don't wait around.
You appreciate craftsmanship over cookie-cutter construction. You value authenticity over trend. You recognize that heritage Queenslanders on river frontage represent genuinely finite resources. You understand strategic flexibility in uncertain times.

THE ONLY QUESTION
Can you see yourself here? Morning coffee on the verandah, grandchildren in the pool, parents contentedly independent in their granny flat, rental income offsetting your mortgage, property values climbing, weekend kayaks on the Tweed, Sunday markets in town, Mt Warning silhouetted at dawn?
Because someone will. And in Murwillumbah's tightening waterfront market, that someone needs to act decisively.

This isn't just real estate. It's the answer to questions you've been asking yourself for years: How do I balance family needs with financial sense? How do I escape without isolating? How do I find character in my price range? How do I make my property work as hard as I do?
21 Tumbulgum Road answers all of them.
