Located at the end of a Cul-De-Sac in a quiet part of Highfields, is this truly unique custom-designed family home that is sustainable. Not only has the house been designed with the right materials to meet the 7 star energy star rating, but the grounds are like having your private Native forest. If you are a nature and bird lover, then you will just be taken away by the sheer scale & attention to detail that the owners have put into their surroundings. Not only does this attract all that nature offers but supplies you with privacy & protection from the harsh Australian sun & winds.
Need space for extra vehicles or even a campervan? Apart from the 2x car parks on the driveway, you could easily add space beside the carport for a car or trailer & a campervan can be brought in from Dau Road (the neighbour has agreed to access on shared easement land)
Wanting even more nature? Simply walk down connecting Dau Road & there are two, one-way walks (Bowerbird and Cuckoo-Dove walks) and five walking circuits in Highfields Falls Bushland Park – all named after birds that live in the area. Each of the walks is relatively short but very pleasant with lovely scenery and many photo opportunities.
