What bliss, a home with no neighbours in sight just views of a rugged mountain range, forested hills and valleys, and distant farmland. Set within the Mt Roland Regional Reserve, privacy is a main attribute of this lovely home.
Something out of the ordinary, this sturdy post and beam two-storey dwelling is mud brick and render on the ground floor and weatherboard upstairs. The elevated north-facing main home has a recent addition (2012); a large room with separate access and adjoining powder room, currently used as a 4th bedroom, but equally suited to be a second living area. Meanwhile the nearby refurbished (2010) cabin complete with powder room, kitchenette and wood heater is set up for guest accommodation, but would alternatively make an ideal studio.
The home is wood heated with the land affording a prolific supply of firewood. Water is provided by ample rainwater tanks and pressure pump. Original kitchen with updated 600mm cooker (2011). Original bathroom with updated 400L solar hot water system (2015). Mains power and phone line connected. Internet is fixed wireless and mobile phone reception is good.
