Seeing is believing this magnificent permaculture oasis located on a level 13780m2 of deep volcanic soil in Mapleton. This property is steeped in history and philosophy.

Originally it was selected by the then owners to achieve a large degree of self sufficiency and a beneficial environment for their family as well as to be income producing. The property today still offers these philosophies.

The properties tree plantings appear haphazard but are based on permaculture design principles. Wind breaks have been planted around the sides of the block and within the acreage numerous food trees and for mulching of the food trees, nitrogen fixing legumes.

As well as the plantings design principles the property has a north facing, comfortable and tastefully refurbished two storey home which is conveniently located in the quiet and pleasant surroundings. Adjacent to the home is large shed and workshop with oversize carport. An added bonus is the fenced vegetable patch and its flourishing produce.

The lower storey of the home has a brick exterior whilst the upper storey is timber hardwood boards with an iron roof. The upper level features 2.6m high ceilings predominantly with polished timber hardwood floors and architraves. A new addition to the home is a spacious timber deck which is cradled by the surrounding bearing and flowering trees with their associated wildlife. Within is a spacious kitchen, sunroom, three bedrooms, study, bathroom and second toilet as well as a second screened interior deck. Currently underneath is the laundry and home gym with additional storage space and rooms galore.

It is with a heavy heart these owners have decided to sell their home and its permaculture oasis to move onto new challenges.
