"The Shack" - a very private self-catered, self-contained, weatherboard cabin set on a rural retreat of 80 hectares (200 acres) featuring cleared paddocks, dams, bush tracks and bushland expanses with no other dwelling on the property.
Neighbours - there are none within sight.
The Shack is off grid with rainwater tanks, solar panels and 12v battery bank.
Stove, hot water and fridge/freezer are powered by bottled gas.
Absolute serenity and just 3km to the quaint township of Bellingen.
