This is a comfortable easy house that is well-serviced and economic to run.
With lovely views down the valley over the horse paddocks, the house is set in an elevated position and 10 kilowatts of solar power deliver abundant energy resulting in minimal power bills. The house has been built with an emphasis on energy efficiency and there is quality insulation in walls and ceilings and each room is directly or indirectly heated or cooled by reverse cycle a/c units. In addition, the main living area has a wood stove.
There are four-metre covered decks on two sides of the house and a two-metre covered deck on the third side. The house is designed for flexible living. There are two bedrooms; each bedroom has its own bathroom. The bedrooms and living area have sliding doors onto the deck that has views of the paddocks and the tree-covered hillside that is part of the property. There is also a comfortable studio with views and deck and a bathroom and its own a/c unit.
Both the house and studio are supplied by rapid wireless broadband internet for working from home.
The garden has a range of trees and bushes and walkways; irrigation water is pumped from the dam below the house. There is also a covered planting tunnel with a raised vegetable bed.
Water security is supplied by a 100,000-litre water tank for domestic use and there are an additional 19,000 litres for farm use. There is a spacious four-bay farm shed that is set up for farm machinery and as a workshop with lighting and multiple power points.
