This is an amazingly unique, handcrafted property in a prime position for solar passivity and self-sufficiency. This octagonal mud brick home features hand carved, specialty timbers, convict bricks, sandstone, slate and hardwood flooring. The large windows take in expansive rural views to the North, overlooking the Sleeping Beauty ranges toward Mount Wellington while allowing the light and warmth to filter through all day.
Twenty one hectares of completely private land enrobes the dwellings, the perfect mixture of pasture and native eucalypts. Three lake style dams provide irrigation to the vegetable and ornamental gardens and would be useful in your farming pursuits, whatever they may be.
The intricate details you’ll see upon entry are the features that make this property a stand out. Split level living provides the sense of defined spaces, without sacrificing the open plan design that is key to the solar passivity. Heating is provided by a very functional wood burner, which also contains an oven and wet-back for heating water. This is additional to the solar hot water system. Two bedrooms are found in the main house, the master offering a large walk-in robe and beautiful leadlight windows. Off the utility room and internal laundry, you’ll find the bathroom that showcases beautiful stone work in the elevated bath surrounds.
A separate one bedroom chalet perfect for guests or extended family is an added bonus in this location. The chalet offers independent living with its own kitchen, bathroom, living space and bedroom. It has its own gas hot water and septic systems installed. Several other outbuildings complete the property improvements.
The power system utilises a 24 volt, 2200 amp/hour solar system with a 3500 watt inverter making the home totally self-sufficient and off-grid.
The home plot of approximately 4 acres is fully fenced and wallaby proofed to allow the native gardens surrounding the house to thrive. The rest of the property is divided into several paddocks, one containing approximately 60 immature pine-nut trees which will give a future financial return.
A vintage Land Rover and a restored Goat Island sailing skiff also come with the property. What an opportunity, truly unique and absolutely one of a kind. Call to inspect now!
