Oh and by the way, yes the cattle can make you some money while you are enjoying other things in life.
Our aim was to build a house that made the best of the location in terms of privacy and in such a way that it would add to the surrounding environment and take in the ever changing views.
We joined Trees for Life and planted over 1000 trees every year for 10 years.
The plan was to site a solar passive home facing north so that it would take advantage of the winter sun, then design and construct it to be energy efficient. Add to that, your own water supply, effluent system, solar panels, wood lot, orchard and veggie garden and you end up with a home that has very low running costs.
So now the time has come that you might ask why we are selling as you know we have very much enjoyed this lifestyle.
Well our lives are entering a different stage and we have decided to move down the coast, pursue other interests and let someone else enjoy what we have enjoyed.
Kind regards
Jim & Sandy
