"Kookaburra Estate" - Harmonious Living
The original owners of this beautiful property were among the select group of Mid-Century pioneers who identified and propagated North Coast’s Sub-Tropical Rainforest species. Their plantings on this magical elevated 14.82 - acre sanctuary have now mostly reached maturity, making ‘Kookaburra Estate’ a rare and sacred offering nestled in the quiet embrace of the Tuntable Hills, on Bundjalung Country, just moments from the majestic Nightcap National Park.
‘Kookaburra Estate’ offers a beautiful lifestyle with its leafy surrounds and excellent privacy. Here, the spirit of the land with its wide variety of trees gently holds you. With fertile volcanic soil and abundant wildlife, this peaceful oasis invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and remember what truly matters. Maintenance is easy here – the gentle lawn areas are a breeze to mow, and the rainforest and food forest areas are largely self-maintaining… allowing you time to revel in its beauty.
The architecturally designed double-brick home has been beautifully renovated and freshly painted, blending timeless elegance with soulful comfort. With soaring raked ceilings, exposed beams, a cozy wood-burning fireplace, air conditioning, new rich tallowwood floors, there’s a symbiosis between the home and the land. The custom kitchen with stone benchtop, its butler’s pantry and premium appliances is a space where nourishment and creativity come to life. Open-plan living, dining, and lounge areas spill out onto a wide, covered balcony - an elevated platform, surrounded by sub-tropical trees, for witnessing the sunrise, listening to birdsong, or sharing laughter with loved ones as the day fades into dusk.
