Have you been dreaming of the off-Grid lifestyle but felt daunted by the research, the council, the trades, the best systems, the overwhelming choice?
With this home, it has all been done for you, by a dedicated enthusiast who has spent many hours researching the best systems to ensure a comfortable lifestyle.
Set on 40 Acres adjoining the spectacular Blue Mountains National Park, this home is a short hike from spectacular canyoning sites and stone pagoda’s, surrounded by waratahs, grass trees and teeming with all the native fauna you would expect.
This home is quite unassuming but comfortable and immaculately maintained, the interiors have a stylish and muted colour palette with a distinctly Japanese feel, there are two bedrooms one currently a study and a generous kitchen/dining/living area that runs the full length of the north side with a cosy reading nook and daybed at the far end.
Large sliding doors open this area to the northern gardens, the veggie patch and the outlook over the national park.
Clever storage abounds, that looks like it belongs and there is also a large double garage and a separate work shop.
So how does all this work you ask, what systems are in place to make all this happen?
There is what the current owners call “The Power House” a separate dedicated building, with Solar Panels and a large maintenance free 33kWh gel battery bank and a 4.5kW pure sine wave inverter. This system will comfortably deliver 240 volts to the house and also has a generator backup if you get a week of rainy days, there is also a dedicated 12volt circuit to the house for charging mobile phones/laptops/ipads, everything has been carefully thought out.
There is ample water storage, delicious untreated chemical free water from the sky and a dedicated fire fighting tank with a petrol pump driving 5 impact sprinklers for fire protection.
The septic system delivers water that to the garden via an absorbtion trench and is regularly inspected by the council.
So! All these systems combine to create the complete off-Grid home, no monthly bills, total independence!
