amenities so it’s not really surprising. The rental yield is 3.3 per cent per annum, but it’s a great place for tenants with the average rent in 2021, according to the Census, just $285. That may well have risen since then, as most places around the shire have, but it’s still a darn sight cheaper than most other areas. The Chillingham Village Markets are held at the Chillingham Community Centre on the second Sunday of the month (8am until 1pm) and are really worth a visit. It’s a lovely drive through the hills and rainforest to the village but well worth it to soak up all that nature and take some well-earned time out from our busy lives.

THIS WEEK’S hot property is a gorgeous Queenslander on acreage just out of Chillingham. The farmhouse at 1182 Numinbah Road was built in 1922 and has lovely art deco features and stunning views from Wollumbin to Springbrook. The four-bedroom home sits on a big 2.85-hectare block and has ornate art deco ceiling mouldings, cornices and original light fittings, polished timber floors, tongue and groove walls, casement windows, stained glass, picture rails, fretwork, and 2.9-metre ceilings. It has two spacious living areas, a covered front deck and a DA approved for a covered rear deck as well. It’s just two kilometres from the lovely village of Chillingham, a hub for the local community and tourists alike, and a quick ten kilometres from Murwillumbah for all your shopping needs. The property has a six by six metre shed/garage, an insulated studio ideal for a home office or the budding artist, an off-grid solar panel system, and a 7.2kVA back-up generator so you can forget about the outside world and enjoy the abundant natural beauty of the surrounding land. It also has two 22,500 litre water tanks and the property has been rewired and replumbed so everything is in good working order, as well as a bitumen driveway. This lovely historic home is on the market with Kristie at Elders Tweed Valley Murwillumbah, contact agent for price. 1182 Numinbah Road
