Featuring beautifully executed, environmentally-friendly design and spectacular views, this 43.5 acre property is a one-of-a-kind offering. Positioned at the top of the hill, the insulated earth sheltered house sits on a concrete slab and faces true north, using passive solar design to stay cool in summer and warm in winter. Louvre windows and the internal courtyard/fernery draw cool breezes through the house in the warmer months; a wood heater connected to the wetback solar hot water system heats the home on the coldest days and provides hot water in extended rainy weather. The green roof provides additional insulation to the home, with several layers of drainage, and also collects water for the garden.
This off-grid home still delivers on comfort and style and its layout makes the most of those beautiful Eden Creek views. The spacious open-plan living/dining areas and well-equipped gas kitchen open out to the outdoor entertaining area, which offers a lovely place to sit and relax. The master suite sits at one end of the home, and the stylish ensuite with shower and bathtub opens out to the private courtyard. The other two bedrooms sit at the opposite end of the home as does the main bathroom and laundry. Other features include polished concrete floors, high raked ceilings with fans, and a round stained glass window. The house has NBN satellite internet and 3kw solar system with lead acid gel batteries.
A huge bonus to this property is the separate shed house at the front of the property, which has its own approved septic system, two insulated bedrooms with fans, bathroom, and basic kitchen. Inhabited by the current owners as the main house was built, this shed is ideal for guest accommodation or storage. It has its own 3kw solar system with lithium batteries.
The block is a gardener's paradise, with extensive fruit trees around the house, established vegetable gardens and rose garden. Grape vines including Chambourcin, Pink Iona and Adonis varieties add a Mediterranean feel to the pergola. There are approximately 100 pecan trees planted in the front paddock; at approximately 8 years old, this has the potential for a commercial crop.
Water is a major feature here, with spring-fed dams having lines to the house, front shed and two troughs. The main dam offers permanent water and has never run dry, even in the last big drought. There are multiple water tanks, including 10,000l for garden water at the shed, 35,000l at the house, 45,000l concrete rainwater storage to the house and 32,000l rainwater storage at the shed. Drinking water for the house is collected from the farm shed at the top of the property.
Situated just under 15km via paved road to Kyogle, this stunning property must be seen to be fully appreciated. To arrange your private inspection, contact Rob Horder 0439 135 125.
