177|Hilltop Sanctuary sits on a ridge above Fernmount — twenty minutes from Bellingen, two hours south of Byron, and far enough up the mountain that the loudest thing is the magpies. A covered deck runs the width of the house, the pool just below it, the valley beyond. Below, a garden studio with its own door. You can take a room, the house, or the whole hill.

A couples' retreat with a covered deck the width of the house, the pool just below, and a fire for when the mountain air turns cool. Come up for a weekend and watch the light change.

A private garden-level studio with its own entrance, a courtyard daybed that gets the morning sun, and room for the dog. The easiest yes in the valley.

Two wings, one ridge, no other guests on the property. The house with its pool and fire, the garden studio with its own door. For the weekends that matter.

245| Seventy acres on a ridge above the Bellingen hinterland. A quarter-acre of lawn, two old camphor laurels with a hammock between them, a vegetable garden you're welcome to raid, and three resident magpies who'll introduce themselves on day one.
