Gordonville

Set between river and rainforest, Gordonville is a quiet stretch of fertile valley where acreage living, scenic beauty, and a deep connection to the land converge.

Gordonville lies just north of Bellingen, along the route from Gleniffer toward Thora, straddling parts of the Never Never River’s path before it meets the Bellinger. Because the Never Never rises on the Dorrigo Plateau and descends toward Gordonville before joining the larger river system, land here often offers creek frontage, riparian corridors, and fertile flats.

Properties in Gordonville tend toward the rural and lifestyle end of the spectrum. You’ll find substantial acreage holdings with mixed terrain: river flats, rolling hills, fenced paddocks and sections of forest or regrowth.
Water is a key strength in Gordonville. The combination of the Never Never River, creek flows, and local rainfall makes water security a strong selling point. Many holdings include irrigation licences, dams, and perennial streams.

Landscape and views are also a draw. From many properties you’ll see “McGraths Hump” (locally known as Old Man Sleeping) dominating the western skyline. The visual connection to escarpment and valley gives Gordonville a scenic quality many seek when moving to this region.

The local market is relatively quiet, which means listings don’t appear often, and when they do, they attract serious interest. Buyers here tend to be those wanting distance, privacy, and the possibility to shape their land use, whether mixed farming, lifestyle retreat, or conservation holdings.

If you’re drawn to a property that can deliver space, river access, and real separation without being miles from Bellingen, Gordonville demands a look.
