This kitchen beckons you to cook! White solid timber cupboards, deep red mahogony bench tops and a whole wall of east facing louvres which welcome the morning sun and catch the afternoon breezes. Cook in your kitchen while your friends and family talk and play on the deck.
From the kitchen we enter the lounge/dining room. Here youll find a slow combustion fire and air-conditioning. Polished floors giveway to high ceilings and double french doors back to the deck. The hallway leads to the bathroom and separate toilet and three downstairs rooms. The larger room has a full kitchenette, a private deck and private access. One downstairs bedroom has also been converted in to an impressive family-sized walk in closet room directly across from the bathroom, which makes for easy home organisation.
A stairway from the hall leads to the upper storey which contains a further two large bedrooms - one with a dormer window that gives views out to the mountains, the other with a east facing kingsized bed platform - go to sleep under the stars and wake up to the sunrise!
The home has been renovated with sustainability and style in mind. The ceilings are fully insulated and the house is compartmentalised to minimise heating and cooling requirements. 3.5kW of solar cells cover the houses' energy costs. Windows and doors are located to capture the northeast afternoon breeze and maximise cross ventilation.
This place has character! From the handmade wire balustrades, timber fans and recycled wood privacy screens on the deck, handmade pebbled hearth in the lounge, v intage-ladder-becomes-pot-rack or black and white boutique wallpaper in the kitchen, there are little gems everywhere! These bohemian elements pair with contemporary style of the house to create a unique and welcoming atmosphere.
There are some small jobs left to do on the house, but the heavy work is complete and the finishing touches will allow the new owners to place their own mark.
The gardens have been designed by a permaculture practitioner with a focus on fruit trees and perennial vegetables. At least 50 different varieties of fruit trees are placed throughout the garden each located to complement one another and the house. Add, ducks, chickens, an aquaponics system, two frog ponds, 6 animal yards for rotation, banana circles, vertical stacking and micro swales, fully fenced with kid-safe gates, plus enough space for a cubby and a trampoline and you have yourself permaculture family paradise!
As if all thats not enough, the house has been modified to generate income through airbnb. The largest of the downstairs rooms has a kitchenette and direct access from the deck to allow privacy while renting the room out. This room generates a healthy income and could also be used for an elderly parent or as a teenage or parents retreat.
This house is a genuine tree changers paradise giving you the convenience of a town location with the many of the benefits you might only expect from rural land.
