Rural tranquility in charming Chillingham
By Jil Hogan
WITH ITS scenic beauty and seclusion, yet proximity to towns and amenities, Chillingham is becoming an increasingly attractive option for tree-changers from the coast and beyond.
The picturesque Tweed Valley town offers a peaceful retreat for those seeking a change of pace, only around 14 kilometres northwest of Murwillumbah.
The area has a relatively low population and that’s reflected in the listings, with only a few properties currently available to buy.
At the lower end of the property market, a recent property search found a renovated three bedroom home listed with a price guide of $865,000 to $885,000. At the higher end, a two bedroom home on just over 34 hectares is listed for $1.4 million to $1.5 million, while a four bedroom home on approximately 4.72 hectares is for sale for $1.95 million.
No rentals were available within Chillingham at time of searching, but nearby a two bedroom house in Numinbah is up for rent at $500 per week, or a three bedroom home in Zara is advertised at $700 per week.
While there was no median price available for Chillingham on RealEstate.com.au, recent sales prices have been strong. In particular for properties with ample, usable land, expect to pay a premium.

Chillingham sold for $2 million through Kristie Hoffman at Elders Tweed Valley. The property boasts a five bedroom, two-storey home with a pool, sitting on 15 hectares. Hoffman said Chillingham is drawing more interest from coastal residents and tourists who are discovering the charm of the tranquil location.
“We actually saw quite a lot of buyers from the Gold Coast and Brisbane—that was our main traffic

through that property. We’re seeing a lot of buyers coming from the Gold Coast currently. But it was surprising that it was actually a local who brought that property,” she said.
With many buyers still looking for their tree change, Hoffman said Chillingham presents an ideal offering.
“Chillingham’s a quaint, gorgeous little town. I think it’s becoming more popular because it’s in a good location. It’s about 15 minutes to Murwillumbah. Then it’s a nice quick ten minutes straight over to Tyalgum as well, and then you can go straight up through the coast,” she said.

“And the Chillingham Store at the moment is one that’s been doing really well. There’s live music there now, good food, and I think that that’s drawn a lot of attention. And it’s just beautiful scenery, beautiful water holes, and close to the Natural Bridge. It’s just a really pretty little area.”
“There’s not a lot of stock on the market in that area at the moment. So I think because of that, the market is moving pretty well. And I think Chillingham is going to become more and more popular as it keeps growing.”
