Mud House on 20 riverfront acres Northern Rivers
$360,000
Off Grid Cob (Mud) House on 20 acres
• 2-bedroom, open plan kitchen/dining/lounge, bathroom/laundry, Mud room
• Covered verandahs on three sides
• 3m ceilings
• Stained glass, stone work, and timber pole features throughout
• Wood burning heater
• 150 sq metres of skillion roof feeding 10k and 20k litre rainwater tanks (full)
• River frontage (Cataract River)
• 2-wheel drive access.
• Unaffected by floods.
• 360-degree views.
• Significantly cleared around the house.
• Receives first and last sun
• Starlink
• Electrical wiring installed – but not yet hooked up to solar power
• My asking original price has been reduced to account for required solar and plumbing
Rainbow Power Quoted $18,600 (including rebate on panels) to install system
A pump needs to be installed and plumbing to connect rain water tanks
• 2-3 acres are mown around the house.
• Front yard towards the river is a flat grassed pad with a small native garden
• House fully furnished, and includes John Deere ride on mower, petrol genny, fire pump and other tools, including 5 x 3 m lengths of merbau. (I will remove anything you don’t want)
• Joolca gas hot water system
• Existing Cement slab and 3 x 3m flat pack shed (shed to be erected)
• The river is a joy, and a couple of bends down river from me it meets the Clarence River which also runs through our property. Permanent fresh water for swimming and drawing for household needs if required.
• There are 25 x twenty-acre shares on the property – plus 6000 acres of shared land
• Currently sixteen share holdings are permanently living on the property, with another five part time, and four who live elsewhere, stay in touch but don’t visit often.
• The community gathers around a fire by the river monthly to swim, share food and catch up.
•
I can provide you with the Memorandum and Articles of Association which guide the company, Currawinya Pty Ltd, which was created almost fifty years ago by a group of idealistic young professionals with environmental dream. Three of the originals are still shareholders, two of whom live permanently on their shares.
• The Perpetual Lease has no end. It is as safe as owning a block outright.
Where in the Northern Rivers can you buy freehold a 20 acre river front property with bespoke mud house for this money?
• There are no mortgages available for multiple occupancy.
• New Shareholders are required to provide 100 points of ID, and a police check
Back Story:
I bought Share 10 in 2003 and have spent twenty years building the mud house. I started a blog describing the process in 2013 which you may be interested to view (lots of pics)

At the time I was a single Mudder 😊 of two primary aged children. They are now in their early thirties. Over the years, building this house has been a constant project. It in fact, it has become my life’s work. I am proud of the 90% finished project which is solid, beautiful, vermin proof, weatherproof, liveable and cosy.
I had lots of help with parts of the building that needed skills I didn’t have. I am a great mudder, have built and renovated several conventional homes, but am not a builder per se. Ten years ago I purchased a $13k solar system to install, and laid pipe from the river to a header tank. However, due to some stalls in the works, neither of these were installed and are now redundant. I had remarried, and my husband sadly became terminally ill and passed away in 2015. Then I got sick, which set me back another few years. I had some great master builder assistance after that - which brought the house to lock up, and I moved in Jan 2022. I have continued to paint ceilings, seal mud walls, maintain the yard and enjoy the space.
I have not planted food gardens, but there is plenty of suitable ground for gardens.
The functioning camp kitchen and bathroom are not built in. The cement floors could either be sealed, painted, tiled, polished... You can personalise to suit yourselves :)
