Quietly tucked away on a private 2672m2 block in the Valley of Peace this typical Australian homestead has only just been completed. This home is almost self- sufficient with a 5 kilowatt solar system, over 135, 000 litres of rainwater storage and the climate and soil that will grow fruits and vegetables almost year round. Insulation was a big consideration with under floor, wall, ceiling and roof insulation as well as double glazing throughout. The wide verandahs that surround the home allow light to penetrate in winter but will shade in summer. Being in a valley it doesn't matter which way you look you have a glorious view of the surrounding mountainside. Timber is also another feature of the home with spotted gum flooring and Australian hardwood to the verandahs. There are 3 large bedrooms, ensuite and two other bathrooms, one accessed from the outside. There is also a toilet and shower in the shed. And sheds- every man's dream! A four bay shed, another 3 bay, two bay workshop, garden shed and wood shed. It wasn't the intention of the owners to sell but circumstances have changed and so the new owners can enjoy this well designed and constructed home without having to go through the stress and frustrations of building. Araluen is a quiet village that enjoys an almost coastal climate being just 170 metres above sea level and located 26 kilometres south of Braidwood. A great community with local events, tennis courts, community hall, newly erected children's playground with Fairy Tree and of course the Araluen Valley Hotel.
