Raleigh

Just off Waterfall Way and nestled beside the Bellinger River, Raleigh sits quietly between the escarpment and the sea.

With a population under 700, Raleigh offers a rural river village feel, yet it is only minutes from Bellingen, Urunga, and the coastal corridor. Raleigh is set in a rich dairy farming region and makes an appealing choice for buyers who want water, trees, and community without being cut off.
The town is best known for its public school, Riverside setting, and the historic Norco Dairy factory, a long-established part of the district.

Many properties here enjoy river frontage, acreage parcels, or forested boundaries. Listings span modest homes, rural blocks, and lifestyle acreage on the outskirts. Such variety gives buyers real choice. You’ll find everything from a riverside hideaway, a quiet house with room to breathe, or a land parcel to build from scratch.
One of the region’s most interesting developments is the Raleigh Winery. After a period of closure, the property has reopened under new operators, who plan to host wine tastings, barbecues, and events in the years ahead.

This kind of lifestyle venue adds to Raleigh’s appeal, giving locals and buyers a point of connection.
Location is also one of Raleigh’s strengths. It sits at the foot of Waterfall Way’s climb into the rainforest and escarpment, offering an easy route up into Dorrigo and beyond. Meanwhile, heading east along the river leads you toward Urunga, beaches, and coastal life. And Bellingen is close by for cafés, schools, and services.
Raleigh offers a rare combination: river, farmland, village character, and access.
