This creative Mullumbimby family wanted a home they could grow into and add value to — and found it in this rare in-town gem. With complete privacy, Chincogan views, DA-approved plans, and unbeatable potential, it was the perfect blend of lifestyle and long-term vision
This Buyer's Journey
This creative young family had been renting locally in Mullumbimby and were already beginning to explore the idea of buying when we first crossed paths. They’d originally shown interest in a unique property with a secondary dwelling on title — it offered the income potential and long-term security they were looking for, but was ultimately out of reach financially. Still, it sparked the realisation that they were ready to start their homeownership journey.
With two young children, unconventional work schedules, and a desire for a home they could make their own, they were seeking a place that struck the balance between being move-in ready and offering creative value-add potential. The main home needed to be comfortable and functional from day one — but still with scope to improve over time in a cost-effective way, without the need for major renovations.
We met at an open home, and after a quick coffee chat, I explained how I could help streamline the process and open the door to off-market and pre-market opportunities. The idea of moving quickly with professional guidance really resonated — they were ready to take the next step and engaged me to help them find the right fit.
How I helped find the perfect home
To find the right property for this family, I cast the net wide — diving into both on- and off-market opportunities to identify homes that would meet their lifestyle needs, creative ambitions, and financial boundaries. Interestingly, the home they ultimately purchased was one they had previously ruled out. But I could see the underlying value and recognised it as a golden opportunity — particularly as the vendor was highly motivated to sell.
I secured the property for $1,157,500 — a remarkable result considering it had sold just not so long ago for $1,585,000. It offered not only immediate liveability in one of Mullumbimby’s most tightly held, sought-after streets, but a wealth of long-term upside. With DA approval already in place for a secondary dwelling and swimming pool, plus rear lane access and subdivision potential on an 804sqm block, the foundations for future growth were already set.
Surrounded by leafy gardens with uninterrupted views to Mount Chincogan and no visible neighbours, yet just moments to Heritage Park and the town centre, this was a rare blend of privacy and position. It’s a property that started working for them from day one — delivering both lifestyle and instant equity.
