Rarely does a sub-tropical lifestyle property of this size completely blanket an elevated ridge top. The lush remnant vegetation, zoned "not of concern", is comprised of Grass Trees plus a variety of mature Ironbark & Spotted Gum. An abundance of tranquility, subtle energies, fresh air and bird song.This property will appeal to the permaculturalist with it's northern facing slope 30m above sea level at road frontage to 102m above sea level on mountain ridge at rear. Seasonal creeks ensure the integirty of water catchment into two dams. One of the dams is so large that some neighbours ask if they can swim laps or practice their kyaking. The property was designed with the intention of constructing cabins on the hill slope to make the most of distant ocean views and refreshing sea breezes. Central sheds at the foot of the hill provide rooftop capture and storage of solar power and rainwater, which were originally intended to centrally service the cabins.There is an abundance of pink granite stone on the property and the longer term plan was to construct a fire proof stone house on top of the ridge to enjoy the never to be built out panoramic views and sea breezes. Great expense was made to have a track constructed to the top of the ridge in readiness for this. Respectful negotiations could result in a diesel 4WD van being included to service all parts of the property.Whilst you enact your own dream and plans, there is a retro PMG/Telecom caravan which services as a kitchen.
