Sustainable Living – Outstanding Views

Situated in a private and quiet location in the heart of the Lakes and Craters district the home has a northerly aspect which maximises its passive solar opportunities as well as providing outstanding views.
The home includes solid blackbutt timber floors to the living, dining and kitchen areas and quality wool carpets in the bedrooms.
The kitchen comprises a Miele cooktop, oven, and dishwasher plus an Esse slow combustion wood fired range offering the dual purpose of cooking and heating during cooler months.
Cathedral ceilings extend through the dining and family living areas where north facing windows provide warmth and light, plus access via large glass sliding doors to the outdoor entertaining area for extended living. Additional heating is provided by the low emission Nectre wood heater.
