Last Listing description (November 2023)
Situated within the Billen Cliffs strata-titled Eco Village sits an original family home, self-contained studio and 2 acres of gently terraced private land covered in an extensive array of greenery. This property is completely off-grid, and offers a sustainable lifestyle.
HOME + STUDIO
The timber home almost has a 'tree-house' feel with elevated position and earthy features such as hardwood floors, cathedral ceilings, stained glass, large north-westerly facing verandah, and many windows out to the surrounding greenery.
The octagonal shape dining room, with wood heater, built-in seating and storage offers surrounding views. The easy-care galley kitchen with sliding glass doors, enters out onto the large north-easterly facing verandah, creating a lovely indoor/outdoor living space. The verandah offers a relaxing entertaining space, looking out onto your own private sanctuary. The four bedrooms each offer a unique outlook. The bathroom and large lounge at the back of the home (currently being used as a bedroom) overlook the grassy field.
Privately nestled in westerly corner of the block, the one-bed, light-filled studio with private deck, makes for a lovely guest house, creative workshop space or extended family accommodation. Please note cats and dogs are NOT permitted in the village
