Adelong NSW 2729

The peaceful Riverina township of Adelong is full of pioneer charm & the same spirit is present in this property that has been literally moulded from the earth. THE HARD WORK HAS ALREADY BEEN DONE with this home's environmentally-sustainable walls, flooring, roofing, windows & electrical connection & plumbing with dual internal connection to town water & rain water tank systems There's Solar hot water, septic tank connection plus a large 20,000-litre galvanised rainwater tank providing independent water source throughout the year. THIS AMAZING HAND-FORMED MASTERPIECE on such a beautiful site, surrounded by trees, birdlife, hills & meandering creek, lends itself to a variety of rewarding pursuits in RU5 zoning (commercial, residential, industrial & retail) opening up a broad range of potential uses (all STCA). The property might therefore suit a diverse range of people, including: tradies, foodies, environmentalists, market gardeners, active retirees, artists, home-based business entrepreneurs, tree-changers, hobby farmers, project investors (tiny houses, log cabins, B&B, function venue, etc)... ALTHOUGH THIS SPECTACULAR TWO-STOREY HOME HAS EMPLOYED ANCIENT BUILDING METHODS that can be as strong & durable as concrete IT HAS BEEN BUILT TO COMPLY WITH MODERN STANDARDS; (Approvals & building documentation is available)... Such construction has MANY BENEFITS including:- Resistance to fire Lack of toxicity PLUS the ability to control temperature because of the thermal mass of thick compressed earth walling THE ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN & ENGINEERED STRUCTURE showcases reclaimed, handcrafted exposed Oregon trusses & rafters visible on entering, where you may be struck by the sheer scale of the interior; the surprising brightness; or the handcrafted staircase connecting the ground floor living & workshop space to the huge upstairs open-plan space with a 2nd separate bathroom.
