If you have been thinking of becoming more self sufficient and you are looking for your own private sanctuary this is the property for you!

Purposely built and custom designed to keep in touch with nature, this home will appeal to the environmentalists, painters, poets and photographers alike. For those of us who aren’t so artistically favoured, we will find pleasure in the tranquillity and beauty that is ever so prominent with your surrounds. There’s an abundance of birdlife and wildlife to take in when walking through the tracks of this magical 16 hectare property. When you start to look at the finer points of this property, you quickly realise the expense and the effort that was undertaken to complete what you see today. Foresight and careful planning went into the positioning and fit out of the home and the surrounds. Many things such as 7 inch guttering, heavy gauge roofing, copper for the plumbing, non return valves on the concrete water tanks, fire breaks and a fool proof solar power setup can be easily overlooked. Put all of this together though and you have one spectacular property that is self sufficient yet still practical in today’s day and age.
