Enjoy this piece of paradise:- spacious garden block where you can enjoy established fresh fruit and vegetables watered by rain tanks so your cost-of-living will decrease :-)
Electricity fixed at 26c/unit based on the total consumption units of your last year's bills.
Imagine only travelling 30km to Perth city returning to wildlife, flowers and winter creek waterfalls 1452m established gardens at an almost fully self-sustainable property, 300m from Greenmount Hills Nat. Park. Only 6km to Midland with adequate bus service to train; only takes 25 minutes quicker than Fremantle and Joondalup to Perth! Awaken to birdsong, rest with frog chorus at sunset.

Some of the eco-benefits include:
1. EV charging plug in main house carport
2. An Aerobic Treatment Unit [ATU] reticulates fruit trees & grapevines & non-vege gardens.
As with all septic tanks, no oils or chemicals can go into the drains because the bacteria that clean the sewerage will be killed leading to the problems of smell / need for expensive pump out.
3. Fire retardant trees, vines & some shade cloth is still used while vegetation grows.
4. Rainwater tanks have supplied the dwellings, veges & other gardens for over 6 years.
5. Solar PV and battery storage has met all the house needs for nearly 3 years now. Good as off-grid, but still connected for sunny days 7c credits exchange for grid consumption when heating & solar HWS exceeds sunshine! Hence the account name remains in owners name & tenants pay the monthly average of their previous year's consumption. NO PRICE RISES.
