“Woodland Chalet” is a beautiful Swiss style Chalet situated right in the middle of 23 acres. The first half of the property is lush green pasture all fenced for horses or other livestock. In the middle of the property is the house with big established orchards and gardens, chook pen and sheds etc. Then the rear of the property there are beautiful grassy meadows with planted Blackwood forests. Intermingled with many old growth trees and some rainforest. The House is fully renovated with new carpets, plumbing, lighting and more, and does not need any work. It has 5 bedrooms and a parent’s retreat, very large country kitchen, new bath, toilet and wash basin. The property is very special in as much as it was originally planned with many permaculture principals in mind. There is a long tree lined driveway that leads to the house. A good income can come from the orchards which has over 120 assorted established fruit trees, plums, apricots, nectarines, greengages, peaches, nashi, red and white cherry’s, many old types of apples, some nut trees and six fenced beds of raspberry’s.
The Water supply comes from a “Spring Well” (drinking water), also rainwater tanks and a dam and spring. The property has many meadows with purpose planted Blackwood groves, a lot of very large Blackwood trees of approximately 150 years old. Almost an endless supply of firewood to sustain the house. The property is perfect for those wishing to live a self-sufficient lifestyle where all the hard work is already done.
“Woodland Chalet” utilises many ways to save money by having two types of stoves, a wood fire and a gas. The same for heating the hot water, either wood fired or gas. The water from the well is gravity fed to the house or use the rainwater tanks with electric pump.
There is a lock up garage and 3 bay machinery shed, which currently houses the tractor. The property is very private and secluded with no neighbours and is very peaceful and quiet. It has beautiful European style gardens. It is a hard property to describe just how nice it is so the best way is to just come and take a look for your self, you wont be disappointed.
