201 Springvale Road has a very quiet, secluded bush residence, yet is less than a 20 minute drive to Richmond. Being on the brow of the hill the home has views of Brown Mountain to the East and the Coal Valley to the West. This quiet, sunny position is surrounded by nearly 50 acres of dry schlerophyll forest with its native flora and fauna.The flora is pretty rare and there has been a covenant put on all but 1.145ha approx. (nearly 3 acres) for the house and sheds. The vendors have worked tirelessly in the last 5-6 years making this wonderful property largely self contained with its carefully constructed and protected herb gardens, glass house, covered orchard and poultry sheds to add to being off the grid.
The cedar timber house is oriented to capture all day sun and the wide verandah wraps around three sides guaranteeing shelter or sun at all times. The north western verandah has a protective glass wall ensuring many warm evenings. Inside you enter a modern open plan kitchen, dining, living area. The kitchen comes with a large walk in pantry and there is also a large laundry conveniently located. The 3 bedrooms all have built ins and the modern, white bathroom is centrally located.
The 3-5 KW solar system is helped by gas hot water and stove along with a large wood heater for heating. The back up generator is rarely used. No more POWER BILLS. There is nearly 70,000 litres of water storage caught from both the house and the triple garage. No large TASWATER BILLS. The colorbond triple garage with white trim has a concrete floor and 3 roller doors.
Attention to detail is so good with this property that there is even sprinklers installed on the roof for fire proofing. The house area is protected by wallaby proof fencing and possum and bird proofing is evident everywhere otherwise nothing would be produced!
Apart from the drive there is a fire trail around the property which is over a kilometre long if tracks are wanted for motorbikes or horses.
