Nestled sympathetically into its peaceful 1.8 acres surrounds, this charming two-dwelling retreat has a distinctly Tuscan feel. Constructed of straw bales rendered in neutral tones and with a Colourbond roof, no expense has been spared in creating an eco-friendly and relaxed indoor/outdoor lifestyle. Polished concrete floors blend seamlessly with the Colourbond ceiling and interior of natural tone to create a warm, inviting and very contemporary vibe. There is an emphasis on energy efficiency with a northerly aspect providing passive solar and the home's interior being filled with natural light throughout the day. Double glazing and significant insulation also add to efficient energy use. Open-plan living flows through to a bespoke kitchen with beautiful, imported tile splash back and gas cooker. There's a dishwasher, storage cabinetry, shelving, pantry and a spacious island bench with storage and dining option. Large glass sliders open to a spectacular, sun-drenched Tuscan-style alfresco dining and entertainment courtyard replete with planter boxes and espaliered olive trees. There are two bedrooms, master with robe and glass sliders to the terrace. Adjacent is the stylish combined bathroom/laundry with timber vanity, the kitchen tile theme repeated in the splash back, large shower and toilet. Off the living zone is the second bedroom with sliders to the verandah providing a separate entrance. Additional highlights include Nectre wood-fire heating, significant rainwater tank, wicking bed vegetable gardens and enviro-cycle waste management system.

Adjacent to the home is a superbly constructed and finished Cedar cottage ideal for guests or as an AirBnB. Step from the front deck with its decorative planter boxes into a beautiful space boasting a living area with rear access to a screened, private BBQ deck, queen bedroom with robe, bathroom and kitchenette. Timber-lined walls, vaulted ceilings and all-white palette enhance the sense of space and light while reverse-cycle air-conditioning provides year-round temperature control.

Continuing the outstanding infrastructure is a double carport leading to a versatile multi use/storage room with glass sliders opening to a paved patio. The acreage is level, lightly timbered with eucalypts, cypress, peppercorn and includes two gracious oak trees.
