This is a truly unique offering set across 41.8 hectares of versatile and picturesque land. Architect designed and built in 2002, this solar passive, earth-covered home has been thoughtfully created to harmonise with its natural surrounds while providing exceptional comfort and energy efficiency. Exposed timber beams, stone walls, and recycled slate flooring give the interiors a timeless charm, while double-glazed windows, solar hot water, and a wood fire ensure year-round liveability.
The home itself is beautifully appointed with three spacious bedrooms, including a master suite complete with walk-in robe and ensuite. At the heart of the home is a generous open-plan kitchen and living area, featuring a walk-in pantry, 900mm oven, and striking design elements that balance practicality with style. Established gardens frame the residence, adding to the sense of peace and privacy, while the expansive outdoor areas invite you to enjoy the views across your very own creeks, dam, and paddocks.
Beyond the main home, the property is exceptionally well-equipped for rural living. Divided into 13 paddocks, it offers cattle and sheep yards, extensive shedding, and a reliable water supply with seven water tanks, a solar-pumped bore, and a spring-fed dam. A charming two-bedroom, one-bathroom studio provides extra accommodation for family, guests, or potential rental income. With its rare combination of scale, sustainability, and architectural quality, this is a property that delivers both lifestyle and productivity.
