From the roadside, this north facing home appears to be merely a beautifully designed, stately homestead, surrounded by layer upon layer of thriving native foliage which brings with it splashes of floral colour and flurries of birdlife. But then, further exploration unlocks an absolutely awe inspiring ecosystem of every imaginable variety of fruit and vegetable and aquaponically derived rainbow trout and silver perch.

As well as producing food from this amazing property, solar heated water and 10 solar panels linked to the grid all provide an opportunity for a self-sufficient lifestyle that is very nearly carbon neutral. The family can produce and enjoy wholesome foods right from their very own garden and fish farm, all the year through.

Then, there is the interior of the home, which is custom designed for ultimate sophistication, and where no expense has been spared to ensure that the design features shine.

The shady arch of the bull nose front veranda provides a hint of the serenity to come; a perfect possie to soak up the faultless northern rural style views with a cup of tea, overlooking the cascading foliage of the front gardens, which disguise the massive extra height, powered shed and carport spaces at the front of the property.

The interior entrance hall is enhanced by the decorative tint of the gorgeous wooden leadlight entrance door. A perfectly sized office nook is tucked in the corner of the entrance, making good use of the space. This opens to a regally designed formal dining room with sweeping high ceilings, decorative ceiling rose and cornices, storage closet and its own piano alcove.

On the eastern end the master bedroom with walk in robe and ensuite leads from this space, catching the morning sun behind its bay window, showcasing the regal theme of dado rails, jarrah door plates and intricate ceramic doorhandles that feature throughout the main living spaces.

At the western end of the home is the impressive Tasmanian Oak Kitchen which overlooks an intimate courtyard and garden through the large windows. The Kitchen features a double sink with rainwater on tap, plenty of bench tops, an electric stove and oven, and a large pantry; all which give a feeling of grandeur.

Overlooking the cottage gardens a casual lounge where one can laze away endless afternoons, leads via double French doors into a blissfully warm conservatory room.

A second double bedroom also takes pride of place at the sunny corner of the home, its own ensuite featuring a toilet, corner shower and vanity in soft apricot tones.

The remainder of the home is wonderfully multipurpose, a series of rooms that can be used as guest accommodation with its own kitchenette, a perfectly lit art studio, a teenagers retreat, or any purpose which suits your lifestyle.

To the rear of the home is an idyllic enclosed patio, which houses the first of the aquaponic fish tanks and garden beds, creating a tranquil environment to relax in. Patio blinds open the space up to the fresh summer breeze and lead out to the quaint paved courtyard that sits beneath tiers of garden beds, overflowing with edible goodies and shapely trees.

And therein lays the very last perk of this radiant home, its income potential.

It returns to the good old days of roadside honour boxes, where the sale of avocados can earn a pretty penny, and casual sales of your home produced fish stocks can do the same.

In any case, you’ll be blessed with a steady supply of fresh produce from the easy care gardens, which, combined with the rainwater tanks, solar hot water system and generous power rebate means that your living expenses are almost null.

Sounds like a delicious way to live!
