Steeped in more than a century of history, 837 Nobbys Creek Road stands as one of the Tweed Valley's most significant surviving original homesteads. Set on 12.48 hectares (31 acres) of regenerated forest, fertile grounds and pristine spring-fed watercourses, this remarkable property blends heritage charm with exceptional lifestyle, agricultural and eco-conscious living.
Originally established in the early 1900s, the land was purchased by the Blissest family who commissioned respected local builder Harold Margetts to construct the homestead—completed in November 1914. Once heavily logged for red cedar, the land later supported cattle grazing across the original 100-acre holding. Following subdivision in the late 1970s, this parcel—Lot 4 DP 617515—remains one of the few original homes still standing in Nobbys Creek today.
Across the past four decades, the current owners have carefully regenerated the landscape through extensive reforestation projects, planting hardwoods, rare timbers and native species. In 2020, the property was officially accepted into the Land for Wildlife program, recognised by Tweed Shire Council for its ecological value. The land features multiple natural first-order watercourses and two impressive spring-fed dams—one set directly behind the homestead and a second featuring a marina-grade ramp leading to your own private swimming hole.
A network of scenic walking tracks meanders through the forest and around the dams, all navigable on foot or via a small farm vehicle, offering endless opportunities for exploration and enjoyment.
Inside, the homestead honours its 1914 heritage with:
• Soaring 12-foot ceilings throughout
• Locally milled teak and mixed hardwood flooring, harvested and crafted within the region
• 3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, plus a library
• Large living area with wood-burning heater
• Central kitchen equipped with an electric oven, gas cooktop and dishwasher
Every update has been made with respect for the home's history, with any removed timber repurposed elsewhere in the house to preserve its authenticity.
Adding exceptional versatility, the property includes extensive secondary accommodation and workspaces:
• 3 additional bedrooms with built-in storage
• Detached studio
• Workshop
• Large office complete with custom timber-and-glass display cabinetry
• Separate entry via sliding glass door
• Multiple sheds for machinery, tools or business use
Sustainable Living Infrastructure
The property is exceptionally well-equipped for self-sufficient rural living, featuring:
• 40 solar panels for substantial energy generation
• 10 kW Tesla battery storage
• Generous bio-cycle septic system
• Over 110,000 litres of water storage capacity, supporting household and land-use needs
Previously operated as a flourishing plant nursery for more than 30 years, the property is home to over 30 varieties of fruit trees, including lemons, oranges, macadamias, Davidson plums, pomegranates, finger limes, star fruit and more.
Offering unmatched privacy, natural beauty, historical importance and modern sustainability, this property represents a rare opportunity to secure one of Nobbys Creek's most treasured rural estates.
