35 Bencluna Lane, Eureka, NSW 2480

This stunning 100-acre property, which includes several patches of subtropical rainforest, is on the market for the first time in 50 years. With a hardwood timber cottage set amongst pockets of rainforest adjoining national park, this property offers absolute tranquillity and the best of hinterland living. It is bounded to the south by Johnston's Scrub National Park, the biggest remnant of the "Big Scrub" that stretched from Bexhill to St Helena above Byron Bay. The western boundary is formed by Cooper's Creek, which becomes the Wilson River at Boatharbour. It is just an 8 minute drive to Doma Cafe in the village of Federal, and just 15 minutes to the restaurants, cafes and eclectic boutiques of Bangalow.

The unique timber home was constructed in 1986 by specialist builders to full cyclone standard, and the roof has been cleverly designed to fill the rainwater tank efficiently. The house has 2 separate distinct parts connected by a covered walkway, making it perfect for guest accommodation or multi-generational living. Built almost entirely with timber, this home sits beautifully in the surrounding landscape. It exudes warmth, while its soaring ceilings create generous, light-filled spaces. In the main part of the house, each room has access to the large wraparound deck, making it ideal for relaxation and entertaining. Upstairs, the large main bedroom area enjoys luscious treetop views, a huge walk-in-robe and an ensuite.

Across the walkway are an additional 3 bedrooms over 2 levels, a bathroom, and a living space with another wide timber deck echoing the main house. There are also two large and three small sheds on the property.

A gazetted road runs through the property, currently leased from NSW Lands, which adds the potential for subdivision. A permanent spring runs down to Cooper's Creek on the southern side encouraging an abundance of wildlife. There have been 189 species of birds identified on the property, in the creek and in the adjoining National Park. There are also over 19 bamboo species planted on the property, some which are rare collectable. 

This is an extremely rare opportunity to own a genuine piece of paradise. Situated 25 minutes away from both Lismore and Byron Bay, this dreamy property feels a million miles from anywhere, but is in fact only a short drive to anything you could possibly want or need.
