Slow down, breathe deep, and soak in the charm of country living at this idyllic retreat in Teven, nestled in the lush hinterland just 10 minutes from Ballina and 25 minutes from Byron Bay. Set on over two peaceful acres, this lovingly restored Federation-style home is the perfect base for a restful weekend away in the Northern Rivers.
From the moment you arrive, you'll feel the calm settle in. Wide wraparound verandahs invite you to sit with a morning cuppa or a good book, while towering fig trees and blooming gardens set the scene for lazy afternoons outdoors. A short path from the house leads to a sparkling inground pool, set apart for privacy and surrounded by lush tropical greenery — the ideal spot to cool off, unwind, or simply soak up the sunshine in complete tranquillity.
Inside, the home blends old-world character with all the comforts of a weekend escape—high ceilings, polished timber floors, stained glass windows, and cosy, light-filled living spaces that make you want to kick off your boots and stay a while.
The heart of the home is the country-style kitchen, warmed in winter by a crackling wood heater that fills the house with a gentle, comforting heat. In summer, an air conditioner in the lounge area keeps things cool and breezy. The kitchen is fully equipped for relaxed cooking, whether you're putting together a lazy breakfast or grazing platter to enjoy on the verandah.
There are three spacious bedrooms, along with two beautifully renovated bathrooms. One is a private ensuite off the main bedroom, while the other features a deep bath with windows that frame views out over the garden—a perfect spot to soak and unwind.
Whether you're planning scenic drives through the hinterland, beach trips to nearby Lennox or Byron, or simply want to unplug and reconnect with the slower pace of nature, this Teven escape is just the place. It’s all about fresh air, quiet moments, and the simple pleasure of a weekend in the country.

The house was perfect for a summer get away on the far north coast. It is a great base to explore the area and then return for a swim at the end of a hot day. The house is well equipped, comfortable and beautiful. The grounds are expansive and lovely.
