Yurana Langi (Aboriginal for Loving Place)

For those needing peace and privacy, this Property has been created with a focus on eco and sustainable building principles. The result combines a unique master planned concept complete with Architect designed buildings, swimming pool, landscaped low water maintenance garden, and small orchard.

Within a half hour drive west of Port Macquaries famous pristine beaches, is a stunning, very secluded, rural 68 acre valuable hardwood forested site, with two dams, and approximately 2 acres of cleared ground, where the house is situated.

The property includes a group of three architecturally designed, & craftsman built buildings located on the south-eastern most corner of the Property. Each building incorporates passive solar principles.

The main home (175 sqm) is constructed in Pis (rammed earth), locally crafted, high quality Australian hardwood framing, and polished hardwood T&G floors throughout. Vaulted oiled hardwood ceilings to every room. All spaces have northern aspects with large hardwood framed glass sliders onto decks. The accommodation comprises Entry, Kitchen/Dining/Living, Laundry, Bathroom, 4 bedrooms, with the Master Bedroom having WIR and Ensuite. This healthy chemical free building boasts no laminates or particleboard, natural plant chemistry paints, and wool insulation throughout. Heating: passive solar, slow combustion, LPG, and Solar Hot water. The house operates on gravity fed water from rainwater storage tanks (no pumps required). A back up of potable bore water. Sealed driveway from the Entry gate to a double carport in hardwood poles and vaulted corrugated steel roof.

Separate to, and below the main house is a large brick walled and corrugated steel roofed building (165 sqm), comprising a large studio space with a mezzanine sleeping/storage space, Kitchenette, Ensuite, and Laundry.
