Perched on an elevated hillside in the leafy enclave of Ashby, Morningside is a rare jewel that captures the essence of riverside charm from 5 acres of natural beauty. With an enviable easterly aspect, this storied homestead enjoys breathtaking views over the majestic Clarence River, where golden sunrises set the scene for a life of tranquility.
Just 20 minutes from the bustling seaside town of Yamba, and 15 minutes from the township of Maclean (or just a 5 minute boat ride), you can enjoy the best of both worlds; serenity at home with relatively close proximity to local amenities.
Steeped in history, Morningside is a testament to classic craftsmanship, blending period charm with modern comfort. The residence boasts three generously sized bedrooms plus a study, two bathrooms, and formal living spaces that exude warmth and character. High ceilings, timber details, and a timeless aesthetic create an inviting atmosphere, while the large sleepout area provides additional space for family and guests.
A well-appointed kitchen caters to both functionality and charm, and the screened outdoor entertaining area is the perfect spot to host guests while savoring the river breeze and vistas on offer. Ducted air conditioning and a wood fire also offer year-round comfort.
Beyond the home itself, Morningside offers a lifestyle intimately connected to the Clarence River. With coveted frontage to the water, complete with a private jetty, the property invites endless opportunities for boating, fishing, or simply enjoying the ever-changing river scenery. A separate self contained and air conditioned studio space, also enjoying stunning river views, presents the ideal retreat for guests seeking their own slice of serenity, or the perfect creative space for artists, writers, or therapeutic services.
As you explore the surrounds of the home, the established flora adds to the captivation of this location. With a mango orchard, 100 year old hoop pines, an array of plant species and grassy pasture all setting the scene that is Morningside, you can unwind in your own open space as you watch the bird life or look for koalas who are known to enjoy Morningside as well.
Having already been host to many family gatherings, memorable weekend getaways, and even weddings, Morningside is a property that has left a lasting impression on many, and for good reason; homes with heart and character like this are rarely found!
Rich in charm and unrivaled in its position, Morningside is more than a home - it is a riverside sanctuary where history and lifestyle merge seamlessly. Whether as a permanent residence or a cherished weekend escape, this remarkable property promises an unparalleled connection to nature, heritage, and the river's timeless rhythm.
