There's something deeply calming about being surrounded by green. That feeling begins the moment you arrive at this beautiful property - tall trees swaying gently, birdsong drifting through the canopy, and the unmistakable sense that you've stepped into something rare.
This is Ocean Shores at its most private and peaceful: a quiet cul-de-sac where homes are tucked into the landscape rather than imposed upon it, and where Billinudgel Nature Reserve forms a leafy backdrop that never gets old.
Step inside
The home has been designed to bring the outside in. Glass doors and louvred windows frame views of the lush tropical garden at every turn, and when you slide them open, the boundaries dissolve - suddenly you're listening to the rustle of palm fronds and feeling the cross breeze move through the space.
Polished concrete floors keep things cool underfoot in the open-plan kitchen and dining area, which is flooded with natural light from floor-to-ceiling windows. The kitchen itself is beautifully functional with timber benchtops, a dishwasher, and plenty of room to cook while staying connected to the rest of the house.
The separate living area offers a quieter retreat - carpeted for comfort and opening onto a timber deck where you can sit with a book or a coffee and watch the play of light through the trees. On a clear day, you might even catch glimpses of the ocean through the canopy.
There are four bedrooms, thoughtfully arranged for comfort and privacy. The master suite is tucked away from the other three, creating a genuine parent's retreat with its own walk-in robe and ensuite. It opens directly onto the landscaped garden - wake up to green, step outside in bare feet and start your day immersed in the tropical surrounds.
The remaining three bedrooms are well-proportioned, and the one off the main living area would make an excellent home office if you need dedicated workspace.
The modern main bathroom continues the theme of natural materials and premium finishes: timber benchtops, large-format tiles, and a design that feels spa-like in its simplicity. There's also an outdoor shower, ideal for rinsing off after a swim or simply enjoying the ritual of bathing under the open sky.
The garden and beyond
The landscaping here is exceptional. Tall ferns, Bangalow palms, Lilly Pilly, and tree ferns create a layered, tropical feel and the garden has been thoughtfully designed to blend with the natural environment, creating a feel of complete immersion.
The covered entertaining area offers a peaceful space to enjoy all year round, while the large garage plus a carport sort all your storage needs.
The real magic, though, lies just beyond the back boundary. The owners have created a short private track through council land, planted with native species to complement the rainforest. that leads directly into Billinudgel Nature Reserve. It's a 50-minute walk from here to the beach, winding through the kind of lush coastal bushland that makes the Northern Rivers so special.
This property is about living within nature. Complete privacy, no visible neighbours, and a view that changes with the light and the seasons.
