The moment you step inside this RAL home you will be overwhelmed with the feeling of space and atmosphere. Timber floors compliment the unique shape with intersecting arches and large window areas are a pleasant surprise. The natural view over the land from inside or out is timeless. The ingenious RAL shape and energy efficient insulation (R3.8) provides comfort throughout all seasons. There is a small gas heater but a low setting is enough to heat the whole building. Quality has not been ignored in either the bathroom or kitchen. Cabinets and accessories are modern and tasteful including the solid stone kitchen counter. The interior panels are made from all natural pine, and window walls are of western red cedar making the RAL home aesthetically pleasing and environmentally friendly. A second room enclosed under the front houses the hot water system, laundry and second toilet.
The property is 10 acres, mainly flat at the front and gently undulating towards the rear of the block. The land at the road boundary has trees and shrubs strategically placed for privacy. The shrubs have wooden boxed edges for ease of mowing. The whole effect is 'park like'. The home is powered with a mixture of solar and wind energy with a 180 litre LPG tank connected to the instant hot water system and stove. Fresh water storage capacity is 44,000 litres.
On the eastern boundary is a creek, which winds its way to the back. This section is a more natural bush setting. Amongst the gum trees is a fox proof chicken house and run. Then at the front of the section is a delightful, one room retreat. This is set up with a lounge that converts to a bed, some comfortable chairs and an original wood stove for heating. The building is on concrete and has a verandah off to one side and a carport on the other. There is another building behind this that is a work-in-progress bathroom and toilet facility making the retreat self-contained.

The external colourbond corrugated steel roofing and leaf free guttering system make RAL homes virtually maintenance free. RAL homes are built strong to resist the harsh Australian conditions.
