Set high on a secluded ridge, overlooking 505.2 hectares (1248 acres) of private, natural bushland, an adjoining National Park and the ocean to the north, stands this beautiful western red cedar home. Featuring cathedral ceilings, stained glass windows, an amazing indoor garden shower and a spacious loft area, the home has been methodically constructed and tastefully fitted throughout to take absolute advantage of the vast views, coastal breeze, peacefulness and abundant flora and fauna. Access to the home is via a 550m all-weather driveway. In addition, there is no passing traffic to contend with as the property commences at the end of quiet Baldaw Road.
Numerous slashed tracks meander throughout various areas of this vast property. Two large dams catch water running off the many ridges and blind valleys. Water is conveniently channelled by a Honda twin impellor pump from the main dam for gardening, irrigation and fire protection purposes. A well maintained fire break stretches 3 km along the fence line of the southern boundary, giving ready access to isolated parcels of high ground featuring hoop pines, possible level building sites and unique, uninterrupted views of the coast and hinterland.
In 2000, an EPA approved and 48 volt solar system was installed. The battery store (Excide RP1080) is 1080 amp hours at 48 volts. The input is 16 X 130w Kyocera panels regulated by a Plasmatronic PL 40. 240 volts is supplied by a Latronics 530 BK2 Inverter which is rated to 3,000 watts and can surge to 9,000 watts for 5 seconds. This system was upgraded in 2005 with a battery charger. It amply provides an alternative energy solution to run 2 homes, each with a fridge.
The main open plan living area of the cyclone 2 rated home is spacious, inviting and beautifully lit during the day with a myriad of colours cast from an amazing stained glass window. In addition, the pine walls and cathedral ceiling, lined with solarmit grass panels, give an overall resort style atmosphere. An adjoining sunroom facing the spectacular coastal views allows you to soak this up in all weather conditions. A modern kitchen and eating area add to the charm of this home. These rooms open up to a spacious verandah displaying hardwood timber flooring, western red cedar and rivergum corrugated iron walls. Silver corrugated iron has been used to line the ceiling giving a more contemporary style to the verandah.
Adjacent to the established and irrigated orchard featuring mangoes, lychees, lemonade, lemon, oranges, mulberry, Brazilian cherry, plum, peaches, nectarines, pecan nut, logan, custard apples, peachcot, coffee, fig, coconut, tropical apple, bananas, guava and macadamia trees, is a second well-appointed dwelling. This very comfortable 6 m x 2.4 m granny flat/teenage retreat (approved shed) was built in 1996. It features a gas hot water system, 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom, serviceable kitchen and wide verandah overlooking landscaped gardens. Parquetry flooring, high ceilings and an open-plan living space add to the appeal of this building. Neatly and securely housed at one end of this building is a battery room and instrument panel for the massive solar electric system and backup generator.
A sizeable tool shed/storage area is handy to both dwellings. A Husquavarna 48 inch cut ride-on mower may be incorporated in the sale of the property.
