The most superb rural retreat, Mt Christopherson offers an idyllic blend of quality living in an exclusive natural environment on the picturesque Dorrigo Plateau. It is surrounded by luxuriant cascading gardens, majestic tall timbers and the exotic flora of the rainforest.
The property is 16km from the township of Dorrigo with its local conveniences and 45km to the cultural centre, Bellingen, along the well known tourist route of the Waterfall Way, 80km west of Coffs Harbour and the coast. Both Virgin and Qantas airlines fly from Coffs Harbour Airport, enabling easy access to Sydney and the other capital cities of Australia.
The main homestead is set back 1.1km from Muldiva Road and surrounded by nature reserve. The architecturally designed brick homestead complements the natural environment. It has north and north-easterly aspects with outstanding views across the Dorrigo Plateau and beyond. The spacious country home has 2 large bedrooms, a large living room with a fireplace, formal dining room, library, general kitchen and laundry. Space and light are key features and the wide verandahs give protection from the weather. Superb polished timbers, including tallowwood and western red cedar, feature in floors and doors. There is also a separate lower level studio, ideal for a third bedroom, with a wine cellar, storage, living area and its own private entrance.
Guest accommodation is plentiful with a two-tiered guest house providing two separate quarters each with 2 bedrooms, bathroom and kitchenette/living area.
The gatehouse, a split level 3 bedroom cottage is positioned close by the main entrance and adds an extra level of security.
The Mt Christopherson gardens are truly a gardener's paradise. 8 acres of landscaped, manicured and irrigated gardens and lawns featuring a myriad of flowering plants and shrubs, native and exotic trees. Folly is an elevated entertaining and viewing platform and to complete this picture there is a swimming pool, large croquet lawn, amphitheatre, vegetable garden and of course ..... the chook run.
The reserve is home to glorious and exotic rainforest species including tree ferns and tallow woods, plus a number of enchanting wildlife occupants including wallabies, lyrebirds, regent bower birds, scrub turkeys, various parrots, songbirds and birds of prey.
Reliable and good quality water is liquid gold: With frontage to 2 permanent creeks and two bores, backed up by rainwater tanks on the houses and accommodation, water is plentiful for both domestic use and irrigation of the gardens.
