2331 Waterfall Way
Thora, NSW 2454

This exceptional 60-acre estate offers a unique blend of privacy, productivity, natural beauty, and lifestyle excellence, situated in one of the most breathtaking rural settings on the Mid North Coast. Located just minutes from the vibrant township of Bellingen, the property boasts uninterrupted 180-degree mountain views across lush paddocks extending to the ancient Gondwana rainforest ranges, creating a spectacular landscape that changes beautifully from sunrise to dusk.

Perched on an elevated ridgeline, the residence benefits from cooling easterly breezes and has been lovingly maintained for nearly four decades, providing a warm, calm, and connected living environment. The home is nestled among expansive lawns, mature gardens, citrus trees, towering eucalyptus, and camellias, forming a peaceful sanctuary immersed in nature.

The land itself is equally impressive, featuring approximately 30 acres of fertile alluvial river flats with a water licence and pristine frontage to the Bellinger River. This area offers abundant opportunities for recreation, hobby farming, or future agricultural ventures. The remaining timbered forest area provides a private ecological haven rich in native wildlife. Residents can enjoy private river access for kayaking, fishing, swimming, and wildlife observation, including platypus and sea eagles.

The property attracts a diverse community of creatives, entrepreneurs, and established hospitality operators from Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs, Northern Beaches, and Byron Bay. The nearby township of Bellingen is renowned for its welcoming community, vibrant arts and music culture, exceptional dining options, and strong environmental values, making it one of regional Australia’s most desirable lifestyle destinations.

The region’s growth is supported by investments from respected operators and businesses such as Three Blue Ducks, the Eltham Hotel collective, and The Banya Bathhouse, alongside a growing number of boutique hospitality and wellness ventures recognizing the area's significant potential.

Conveniently located just 10 minutes from Bellingen’s town centre, a short drive to Thora General Store for essentials, and within easy reach of the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Dorrigo National Park rainforest, the property offers both seclusion and accessibility. The pristine coastline is only 15 minutes away, featuring popular coastal spots like North Beach, Mylestom, and Hungry Head, which provide excellent surfing, fishing, boating, diving, and nature walking opportunities.

Properties of this scale, quality, and location are increasingly rare.
