This stunning off-the-grid home on 3.655 hectares of enchanted forests, established gardens and orchards, offers a peaceful lifestyle in Lorinna.
Nestled in the Cradle region of north-west Tasmania with The Walls of Jerusalem close by and glimpses of Cradle Mountain overlooking the valley location, Lorinna, is a flourishing off-the-grid organic/spray free farming and gardening locale of about 100 people. Both Mole Creek and Sheffield (the town of murals) are within easy scenic drives, and Devonport, the gateway to Tasmania, is an hour's drive to the north.
The hand-crafted 37-year-old homestead is north facing with solar passive features, and a tucked away, 'end of lane' location with a permanent creek running through the southern border. Its presence on the landscape beckons entry, like a cosy nest waiting to be enjoyed. Inside are hidden surprises with tiny doorways hiding secret spaces and a 'top of the house' staircase leading to a tower where Shakespearian plays were once held, and children now play. 'Ladybird Tower', a perfect cubby, is a sanctuary for ladybirds and is where the farm gets its name. The home is a four bedroomed, one bathroomed dwelling offering the following features:
- open plan kitchen/dining room with generous wooden benches, a wood fired stove used for cooking and heating the hot water system, a gas top, a solar hot water system, and an off-the-grid fridge.
- large pantry on the south side of the kitchen with more bench space, shelving, and flour mill.
- on the north side of the kitchen is a double door that leads into a sun-drenched sunroom looking out onto the garden, farm, and forest.
- a one cubic metre indoor wood-box in the sunroom, with a wall door opening outside.
- convenient laundry-shoot from the adjacent large bathroom.
- bath/shower, toilet, and a mass of storage cupboards in the bathroom.
