A large selection of tranquil bush walks and bike riding trails also surround your new home. The property nestles into and is completely sheltered on three sides by the Bongil Bongil National Park, and by forested stretches along the road frontage. This creates a very pleasant year-round microclimate which, in addition to the north-south facing aspect of the property, is also beneficial for growing an abundant variety of sub-tropical fruit trees and vegetables in the rich and productive soils.

The myriad sounds of nature throughout the day is extremely relaxing, from the choir of birdsong heralding the sunrise to the joyful kookaburras chortling as the sun sets on this stunning property. The spring-fed dams constantly overflow and trickle into the meandering Pine Creek and the ocean can also be heard in the near distance. Year-round there is a wide variety of birds and wildlife living on and moving around the property including koalas, wallabies, echidnas and many types of parrots, pigeons, ibis and other colourful birdlife.
