*** EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST CLOSE: 5:00 PM, 13th, March 2009 ***· Home amongst natural bushland with farmhouse theme· Extensive environmental features throughout· Large shed with office & bathroomExtensive environmental and accessibility features have been incorporated into this cleverly designed open space home. Ideally positioned on a 1/2 acre allotment, amongst native bushland, this unique home with a country farmhouse theme, offers a sensible and secluded lifestyle. Its construction, orientation, numerous design features and appliance choice optimise energy efficiency. The home is steel framed with 75mm autoclaved aerated cement cladding. The thick 285mm exterior walls, quality rock wool insulation, timber ceilings and wide verandahs contribute to all year round comfort and minimise the need for additional heating and cooling. Large picture windows facing east capture the morning sun, whilst smaller high set windows facing west remain shaded, with their positioning enhancing ventilation. Two suntraps in the northern verandah direct warming rays of the winter sun into the home throughout the cooler months but shade the windows and reduce the heat build up during summer. Natural light is directed into the wet areas by large sky lights. The home is totally wheel chair accessible with the spacious open plan living design and wide door ways maximising manoeuvrability. The bathroom has a large shower recess without a hob and there is a roomy separate toilet. All water taps have lever handles and the kitchen has extensive easy access slide out shelving. There are also 3 generous bedrooms with built-in storage and a large laundry. 60,000lts of rainwater storage connected to the home and a garden watered by a waste water treatment system are added bonuses. But that’s not all – there is a 4 car carport adjoining the rear of the home + 60 x 30 x 14ft shed with 3 phase power, bathroom, office, industrial rated concrete floor and back up generator. The special features of this home are too numerous to mention and true appreciation will come with inspection.
