This solar passive home is located in a peaceful part of west Uralla. It offers a perfect package for those looking for a more peaceful and simple lifestyle. There is nothing to do but moving in and enjoy life.
The home has been constructed using Timbercrete that has been tinted with dye. These are exposed on both the outside and the inside. This makes maintenance a breeze as it does not require painting and is easy to clean. Timbercrete has phenomenal thermal properties and is very strong. The house is also tiled throughout which also reduces wear and maintenance requirements.
The house is orientated to the north to capture the sun and the eaves are sized to allow sun in through the winter months but provide shade in the warmer ones. The home is heated through under floor heating (with thermostats in each room) as well as two electric panel heaters. Given the natural light entering the home it is very cost efficient to heat. The windows are custom made double glaze and hot water is solar powered, saving even more off the power bill.
The house has a great floor plan for small families or couples. The living areas are open plan with dining and living space coming off the kitchen. The kitchen is very user friendly with a terrific corner pantry and double sided cupboards. The stove has a gas top and electric oven and plenty of work space. The Bedrooms are located at either end of the home and feature built-ins.
The home sits on a 1/4 acre block and is landscaped with native Australian plants. At the rear is a garage with an extra bay as a workshop and adjoining carport. There are two water tanks; one 5000 gallons for drinking and another at 2000 gallons for the garden. The property also features extensive garden beds for those looking for a more self sustainable lifestyle.
