Last Listing description (October 2025)

Set on a quintessential country road lined with majestic ancient gums, this unique off-grid home on 4.94 acres (approx) offers the perfect blend of sustainable living, privacy, and connection to nature, just minutes from the vibrant community of Newstead.

Designed for comfort and environmental consciousness, the home is powered by a 3kW solar system with lithium battery storage and supported by a BioLetic worm farm, a grey and back water processing system, solar hot water with gas backup, and double glazing throughout. Clad in zinc aluminium with mudbrick internal walls for thermal mass and concrete flooring underfoot, the home remains cool in summer and warm in winter.

Inside, the three-bedroom, one-bathroom residence is full of earthy charm and functionality. A raked ceiling elevates the spacious, north-facing open-plan kitchen, dining and living area. Anchored by a Nectre wood heater and large sliding doors, this central space opens to an expansive north-facing deck, perfect for entertaining while overlooking the surrounding bushland and in-ground swimming pool. The kitchen provides a freestanding SMEG gas cooktop and oven, stone benchtops, timber cabinetry, a pantry, and direct access to the garden.

Each of the three bedrooms enjoys external garden access. The main bedroom boasts celestial north-facing windows, soaring raked ceilings, and a solid wood heater. The second also includes a solid wood heater and garden outlook, while the third features built-in robes. The bathroom with laundry facilities has a shower, a vanity, and a separate toilet.

Additional features include:
- Wireless NBN
- Three solid wood heaters and ceiling fans throughout
- Electric blind over the central part of the deck for summer shade and winter sun
- Native landscaped gardens with raised veggie beds and bushland borrowed views
- One dam, three water tanks (72,000L, 10,000L, and 5,000L), shedding and two carports

This is an exceptional opportunity to secure a peaceful and sustainable lifestyle retreat that blends off-grid living with comfort and community benefits close by.
