  Description

  We have bought an overgrown 50 acre property that has been left for 20 years- and are very slowly reforesting it. We are also expanding the Koala corridor around the edge of the property.
  We have 10 chickens and a large veggie garden.
  We have cleared about 8 acres and built a house.
  We are 40 min from Byron Bay and 20 min from Ballina Beaches.
  
  We have good phone reception.
  My mother lives with us and is 100 . All 3 of us have been teachers- Dave and I have both taught English as a second language and enjoy working with others.
  Lots of projects- happy to do tasks with your own skill/passion.
  
  Please no smoking inside and no pets as we have free range chickens.
  Great views of McPherson Ranges and tip of Mount warning.
