An absolute one of a kind home situated in a quiet cul-de-sac in the peaceful environment that only rural Darwin can offer.
This home took over 8 years to build and is an absolute one off original. Situated at the rear of a 2 acre block that offers both privacy and seclusion, the property is also situated next to a green zone, so privacy and space is assured. The home is reached via a lengthy driveway that lets you appreciate the bush aspect as you come home.
Buyers searching for relevance to the environment will find it appealing the use of natural materials, with mud bricks and exotic recycled timbers bearing a heavy influence. Some of the materials used include, African Mahogany, Stringybark, Jarrah and Tasmanian Oak, and of course mud bricks. The home offers an eclectic mix of building materials rarely found together either in Darwin or the rural area.
The main home is a pentagon in shape, defined by large African Mahogany doors and Stringybark posts that lead out to extensive verandas. Many aspects of the home have locally sourced materials, including remnants of the old Batchelor railway. There’s 3 bedrooms located on the ground floor (main with ensuite). A wrought iron staircase (surrounded by a fishpond) leads to the timber atrium that’s completed with Tasmanian oak and Blackwood floors. The atrium itself is suitable for a home office or a tranquil environment, perfect for those with artistic merit. Offering 360-degree views of the property and surrounds, it’s also a perfect place to relax.
The kitchen continues the theme with exotic timbers, modern appliances and a walk-in pantry. Already being a totally functional space, the kitchen sits at the centrepiece for the comings and goings of family life.
Separately from the main residence, there’s self-contained accommodation, comprised of 2 bedrooms, a kitchen, living room and bathroom. Perfect for either teenager’s separate accommodation or for visiting family.
For those wanting a shed of significance, that need is well and truly met. With over 200m2 internally and 100m2+ awning, ample space for storage of boats, trailers, in fact whatever you like. Complete with 3 phase power, it’s perfect for those using welding equipment and the like.
An anodised concrete swimming pool that is perfectly positioned in relation to the main house completes the must haves for a rural property. A kid’s sandpit completes the outdoor fun for the kids.
The grounds are mostly low maintenance bush like areas that come to life in the wet.
