It is a unique block of land.

The open plan pole house was built in 1997 and is unique. It is made from local hardwood, cladded externally in Green Colourbond, White Colourbond roof, and internally, walls and ceiling, with Pine Boards; the floor and decks are all hardwood on the same level. The treated Pine Poles are set 1.5 metres into a solid rock shelf. There are 4 sets of stairs (the main entrance has just 3 steps), and 6 doors (5 Sliding and Main door); about 60% of the exterior walls are glass which never sees the sun because of the wide eaves, walkways and decks; the house is about 100 square metres inside and 120 outside as decks and walkways. The apex of the Cathedral Ceiling is 4 metres. The front deck faces N E and the Burrum River which is 5 metres away at high tide. The neighbouring houses are 150 metres to the S on the Burrum and Cherwell Rivers, which makes the house very private; one can't see an electric light at night. There are 16 Solar panels and 2 Solar hot water systems on the roof; the electricity bill is a cheque for the power put back into the grid. Rain water is stored in 2 x 30,000 litre poly tanks set into the ground. The stove is gas. but all other appliances are electric.
