Set on 219 acres of scenic south coast country is this passive solar house, built with an array of local natural materials, containing many original design features. Mud brick, stone and timber construction with double glazed windows throughout. Solid and well insulated, providing natural cooling in the summer and warmth in the winter months.
Twenty years old, the home is the product of slow architecture, featuring both intimate spaces and large open plan living areas. The house has evolved and allows for modern technologies such as NBN, solar hot water booster, mains power and a new gas stove with electric oven blending with more traditional forms such as a fully restored Rayburn slow combustion wood stove, door furniture crafted by a local black smith and handmade timber windows and doors.
Surrounding the house is a productive interlude of orchard and ornamental trees, garden and lawns. The bulk of the property is regenerating bush, a refuge for native wildlife such as wedgetail eagles, wallabies, echidnas and an everchanging collection of colourful birds. Native figs, kurrajong trees and eucalypts can be seen amongst the granite tors. The orchard boasts avocados, citrus trees, olives, macadamias and almonds to name a few.
A studio/shed on the property is insulated and self-contained, inviting multiple uses depending upon needs. It is privately located away from the house.
The property is well-supported with an ample water tank for the house and a dam supplying the garden.
The property is 11kms from Cobargo and close to the school bus route.
