It is the perfect retirement block or home for a young family to live comfortably closer to nature.
This gorgeous 2 bedroom home on 2 acres is professionally finished and ready for you to move in, relax and enjoy.
Start your day with a cuppa on the extra large verandah. Here you can catch the winter sun and the blessed shade in summer. Take in the views across the valley and over your wide-open gently sloping grassed front yard towards the tree filled ridge. Watch the mumma wallabies, kookaburras and bush turkeys waking up with you looking for their breakfast.
The house features polished wooden floors throughout, high sloped ceilings, built in bookshelves and a small curved staircase. The lounge room's large sliding doors open wide to bring the outside in and closed keeps you surprisingly cool during summer.
You'll enjoy cooking with gas in your quaint country kitchen. It features wooden benchtops and a wall of timber cafe windows that look out onto vibrant green foliage.
Your 2 acres are fully landscaped and have a few different feature zones. On the southern side of the house is a lush green rainforest through which the summer breeze blows gently to cool the house. The western forest includes paperbarks, pine trees, brush box and wild night jasmine. This side is gorgeously back-lit by the setting summer sun, shielding the house and providing a dazzling dappled light display. It also plays host to a million and one fireflies in season - wow. The northern side of the land features your orchard with established and abundant pecan, avocado, banana, orange, grapefruit and kumquat trees. Other fruit trees on the block include mulberry, lychee, pawpaw, custard apple, rollinia, brazilian cherry, monstera deliciosa and davidson plum. Closer to the house is the fully fenced vege patch and two herb garden beds.
All year round there is something in bloom: stunning orchids, red roses, dark pink frangipani, golden penda, firewheel, lilly pillies, cats whiskers, gardenias, lillies, camelias, teatrees, crepe myrtle, bottle brush, grevillea, mexican marigold and more. This block is a gardeners delight. Add your own touches or sit back and enjoy the beautiful work already done.
There is a tree house, zip line and rope swing for the kids or grandkids to play on.
At the end of a rewarding day in the garden relax in your claw-foot wrought iron bath tub or enjoy a warm shower outside amongst the trees in the afternoon sun.
This place has so much storage with a full wall of cupboards in the extra large main bedroom and a lockable storage/guest room separate from house.
The laundry is cleverly tucked away in cupboards on the back deck across from the toilet (a clivus multrum composting loo).
Even though you are off-grid there is still plenty of power to run appliances. At present the 1.7kw solar, 1000 amph gel battery bank, and 680kw solar panels comfortably run a fridge, chest freezer, bathroom heater, blender, cooling fans and a fan heater for those quick morning warm ups to get the kids or yourself dressed in comfort.
Warm yourself at night by your masport fireplace and spread the warmth to the bedrooms with a strategically placed fan.

This Billen Cliffs community is run by professional strata management with each block on strata title so banks will lend to buy. There are also bylaws to abide by - this is an organic, wildlife sanctuary - sorry no cats or dogs allowed.
This house really is a joy to live in and it is with a heavy heart that I leave. A change in life circumstances is forcing the sale.
So if you are looking for an affordable stunning block of land with a gorgeous comfortable house that doesn't need fixing then THIS IS IT.
