Welcome to ‘Tallowood’, a beautiful family home within walking distance of the popular and growing village of Federal and 20 minutes easy drive to the farmers market in Bangalow or the world class beaches of Byron Bay.

‘Tallowood’ sits on 17 private acres at the end of a quiet ‘no through’ lane with only 3 other neighbours. The property comprises approximately 1 acre of house and gardens, a 10 acre near level paddock ideal for horses or cattle and approximately 6 acres of ‘no maintenance’ forest/woodland with creek frontage.

The property has been superbly built with sustainability in mind and has been extensively renovated using strawbale construction with soft curved walls and great insulation qualities. Solar power (1.5kw), solar hot water, solar heated pool, energy efficient lighting, water efficient fittings and the solar passive design and orientation make the cost of ownership low.

Adding to its sustainability credentials, the grounds have a large selection of mature fruit trees, including mango, pawpaw, lemon, grapefruit, banana, lime and pear to name a few. A large fenced vegetable garden, easement to draw water from the local creek and large, fenced chook pen make it ideal for a family seeking to live the Good Life.

The home is very well laid out for family living with 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a combination of outdoor living and entertaining areas including a 50sqm+ covered gazebo and a fully fenced 11.5m sparkling saltwater pool with cabana and timber deck surround.

The property has been built and maintained to a high standard with a combination of polished timber floors and warm mediterranean tiles, solid timber doors and timber plantation shutters throughout.

For the handyperson there is a massive 8m x 12m colourbond shed with power that can suit a multiple uses, including potential for partial conversion to stabling as it has direct access to the near level 10 acre, fenced paddock which has been used to agist racehorses and also cattle.

‘Tallowood’ benefits from being close to Federal village with its store, cafe, parks and other local amenities and from the bottom of the lane, children can catch buses to schools in the local area.

This home is of exceptional quality and there has been amazing attention to detail applied in making it a family haven.
