If you've dreamed of reducing your carbon footprint and enhancing your quality of life, this one-of-a-kind oasis will make those dreams come true! Enjoying a secluded and peaceful location, this property comprises 1.24 hectares of land classified as one of the last few dry schlerophyl rainforests in the region. The stylish residence is North facing and has been constructed with solar passivity at the heart of the design; constructed from thermal rated 'timbercrete' blocks which naturally keep the home cool in Summer and warm in Winter, although a slow combustion fireplace and ceiling fans have been included to guarantee year 'round comfort.
The open plan design allows for easy entertaining as the the kitchen, with eye-catching cabinetry and timber benchtops, is positioned to ensure that the hosts can engage with guests seated on the large covered veranda or mingling within the open plan living/dining space. Both bedrooms are spacious and enjoy the convenience of an adjoining bathroom, whilst the main bedroom also has a walk-in wardrobe and a custom-made Queen sized bed which looks like a work of art, is a subtle nod to the surroundings and doubles as a privacy screen. Outside, the sealed driveway provides plenty of space for off-street parking but there is also a double lock-up garage with workshop area, accessed via an internal staircase made from a redwood tree sourced onsite and finished off using reclaimed railway sleepers from NSW Central Coast.
Whilst the home is attractive and stylish, what really sets it apart is that it is overflowing with environmentally friendly features such as a Wet Composter/Dry Composter Septic System with Absorption Trench (no pump out costs), large concrete water tank and 8.8wH Solar (Electricity) System with Battery Back Up, all of which enable a totally "off-grid" lifestyle and a welcome reduction in the cost of living.

• Gas stovetop and oven with electric grill and rangehood;
• Walk-in pantry adjoining the kitchen;
• Striking natural timber features throughout the home;
• Garden shed and storage container;
• Secure chicken coup;
• Established shrubs and trees including multiple fruit trees;
• Volcanic soil to enhance plant productivity;
• Multiple vegetable gardens;
• Rustic "shack" - potential artist studio or kids cubby house;
• Walking tracks throughout the property, filled with native birdlife;
• Seasonal creek + small dam surrounded by lush ferns;
• Only 5 minutes away from the shops & schools of Kurrajong Village; and
