Heaven found - magnificent private acreage in Fernvale

4 2 10

'Divinus Collis' is Latin for Heavenly Hill. Standing here, with the ancient silhouette of Mt Warning to the west and the Tweed Valley spreading golden and green in every direction, the name earns itself completely. This is 3.91 hectares (approx 9.6 acres) of elevated, private sanctuary - lush grounds with trails through native bush, a 16-metre lap pool that mirrors the sky, an alfresco area made for long evenings, and 360-degree views that stop you every time. A world apart, and yet just 7.6km south of Murwillumbah.

Built in 2003 by its original owners with one guiding purpose - to live beautifully - this executive-style single-level brick residence has been loved and tended with extraordinary care for over two decades. Fruit trees, manicured lawns and views that stretch to the mountains - welcome to paradise.

Let's explore
The circular bitumen driveway sets the tone from the moment you arrive - unhurried, considered and gracious. Step through the entrance and the home reveals itself with natural light and generous space. The north-facing aspect means natural warmth and brightness through every season.

A formal lounge and an expansive family room anchor the interior, but it is the dining room that will take your breath away. Octagonal in shape, with a raked ceiling and floor-to-ceiling glass wrapping every angle, it captures the mountains and the slow theatre of valley light throughout the day. Meals here become occasions.

The kitchen is designed for those who enjoy the art of cooking. At 4.78m wide with a large pantry, buffet bench, Bosch dishwasher, and views that stretch across the hinterland, the entertaining area and the pool, this is a kitchen you will want to spend time in. It is centrally positioned and opened, to allow you to be involved in all conversations and activities in the home.

The covered alfresco area - 8m x 10.4m - flows from the living space with effortless grass. A built-in BBQ, bar fridge, benches, a koi fish pond and the quiet music of a water feature make this the ideal entertaining space every day of the year. Beyond it, the 16-metre saltwater lap pool is beckoning, set into manicured lawns, with nothing between you and the horizon but open valley and mountain sky. An outdoor hot and cold shower completes the serenity.

Sleep peacefully
The master suite is its own haven. Calm and considered, there's a walk-in robe, ensuite, air-conditioning and ceiling fan. Three further large bedrooms each have built-in robes and large windows that frame the green and capture the passing light. Every window in this house has a view worth pausing for. The main bathroom offers a deep bath to soak in at the end of the day and separate shower.

Wander the grounds
Beyond the manicured lawns, the property opens into something wild and wonderful. Established walking trails meander through native bush and cleared areas - moments of genuine solitude and beauty in your own private nature reserve. You feel and breathe in the fresh, clean air. Open grass paddocks roll to a dam and creek frontage. Pack a picnic, you have your own playground.

Mango, orange, grapefruit, banana, passionfruit, paw-paw and pineapple plants are threaded through the landscape. The entire property has dog-proof fencing, and a luxurious dog-house that is also separately fenced. A cleared, graded and excavated site is already prepared for a secondary dwelling or stables (STCA). The land holds enormous possibility.

The incredible shed
For those who need space to create, build, hobby farm, store or simply dream - this is yours. The 168m² Colorbond shed is a serious structure: three-phase underground power, concrete flooring, workbenches, ample storage, and room for every project you have ever imagined. Alongside it, in addition to the sheds, two high-clearance flyover carports offer shelter for caravans, boats, motorhomes, machinery or camping equipment, offering an additional 78m2 of coverage.

Practicalities
The home runs on 5kW solar with Apricus solar hot water, and 100,000 litres of rainwater storage across five tanks keeps the land well supplied. A new roof was installed in 2024, and the practical comforts are all in place - NBN, electric gate entry, two split systems, electric cooktop and oven, and solid concrete slab construction throughout.
