How about this for fantastic value for money.

The Owners of this property built this home along the lines of solar passive living and created a lifestyle that could provide them with much more than your average suburban home. The rammed earth house is north facing and because of the solar passive design it is comfortable all year round.

With 5 cleared acres of land to play with and a sizeable allocated quota of water from the dam below, the chance to grow your own food, have some chooks and to run some stock or establish your own orchard becomes very possible. With a good-sized paddock like this you can be your own “River Cottage” creating a sustainable way of life. Or you can relax and enjoy the views out to the valley beyond from the back verandah. You can definitely live and grow the good life here in Pemberton!

The living area has an open plan feel about it with a chefs kitchen and check out the funky floor tiles contrasting with the natural timbers and the rammed earth walls. The new extension provides you with a parents retreat with en-suite bathroom and plenty of room for the whole family to spread out (currently being used as an additional living space in these photos). Outside entertaining and living is set up for you with a verandah at the rear of the property leading around to a patio area above the pool as well as a serene and peaceful decked area leading out from the new extension, ideal for whiling away those lazy days.

The 4th bedroom connects the new extension with the main house and the study is of a size that could be converted to an extra bedroom. There is a floor plan that can be emailed upon request should you require it.

With 5 acres outside to play with the scope to do what you have dreamed of is endless. There is a paddock below the house and established gardens surround the house, plus there is a fenced veggie patch. The large machinery shed provides plenty of cover for the boys (and girls) toys and if you want more sheds or any other structure there is oodles of room.

The house is connected to a large 100,000 litre rainwater tank with a smaller rainwater tank plumbed into the kitchen. In addition, there is a 2kw solar system with 8 panels connected to the grid and the solar hot water system.
