This sweet cottage has everything you need to live a simple and sustainable existence. Located within the Billen Cliffs Strata Village, you have a title around your 2 acre parcel of land and become a shareholder in the common land and improvements. This is glorious bush living with the added benefits of having a community of likeminded people around you.
The 2-bedroom timber home is positioned on an elevated plateau. It enjoys northerly views up the valley, looking over the community dam to the wooded hills beyond. Westerly views to the Mackellar ranges and to the East, the Billen Cliffs can be seen in all their glory. The home is hardwood framed and has timber floors throughout. Some of these floors have been laid with the blind nailing technique, where no nails are visible.
Enter from the front porch, through a lovely timber and glass sliding door, into the open plan LOUNGE /DINING /KITCHEN. A light space with windows on 3 sides and a good cross flow of cooling breezes. The lounge room has a new Nectre wood heater, positioned to heat the whole house in winter. The KITCHEN is lined with natural timber creating a rustic, wholesome ambience. Windows to the North and West open out to the wrap around deck and views can be captured from most places in the entire room. The DINING table sits comfortably between the kitchen and living room.
The DECK is accessed from the end of the kitchen and wraps around the western and northern sides of the home, with stairs to the garden. Capturing beautiful afternoon breezes and wild mountain views.
The MASTER BEDROOM is on the southeastern corner. Through beautiful antique leadlight windows you will welcome the morning sun as it rises over the cliffs. Large timber-framed windows to the south are protected by the macadamia tree outside whilst allowing cool are to circulate. The room is large and could serve as a yoga space if not required as a bedroom.
The SECOND BEDROOM is on the S/W corner with views to the Ranges. Windows to the south and west keep it light and airy. This is also a reasonably sized room.
The BATHROOM sits between the 2 bedrooms. It has a shower over the bath, a funky basin set into an antique cupboard and a flush toilet. A newish instant gas hot water service supplies hot water to both the kitchen and bathroom.
An 11.5m x 5.2m SHED is a recent addition. This massive shed has a cement floor and roller doors on 2 sides. Use this as a shed or workshop space or create another living area as needed STCA. Wired for power, it is ready to be connected to the house solar.
Of the 2 acres of LAND, at least 1/3 is elevated and beautifully level, Here, there are established fruit trees in abundance, a fenced veggie patch and plenty of room for more. The land steps down in terraces to the north which, with a bit of help from some goats, could be opened up to develop the most productive edible gardens. The land also extends along the roadside, where a separate driveway takes you to a prepared house site suitable for a studio or tiny home on wheels. From here there are the same stunning views as from the home. A walking track takes you between both sites.
