If you've ever dreamed of going off-grid (perhaps with all the mod cons), then this is the property for you!
The ability to truly get away from it all is a rarity these days, but this daydream-perfect, off-grid, cosy and self sufficient property on 100 acres, nestled at the end of a mountain valley is pure magic.
A quaint 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom plus study, or 3rd bedroom, logged home with a decent-sized, native-timber verandah overlooking sandstone escarpment and thousands of trees across the valley.
Large corrugated iron machinery shed, secure & stable structure. Chook & wood shed also.
A little logged cabin suitable for guests, visitors or a perfect teenager retreat.
Sustainable
3 rain & spring fed water tanks, 25000, 10000L, and a 5000L self-filling house header tank = 40000LT. About six month's of water storage. Clean mountain valley air, springwater to not only drink but bathe, cook and water the veggies with!
Dam & bore also on the property. Dam has filled & remained full for months at times. Spring (located on neighbouring property) has flowed on the property a few times forming a glorious creek.
Organic veggie patch & organic fruit trees, wild bush tucker & wild medicinal herbs, growing in some of the most fertile valley blacksoil you've ever seen.
Completely off-grid set up, near new 3.5kw (3.5yr old), quality solar array. 36kWh of batteries. Can supply an average of 7kWh/day usable in winter and 12kWh/day in summer. Sinewave inverter can supply up to 3.6kW continuous power. Battery life up to three days of complete overcast. Reasonably efficient new 2.8kW generator (0.5L/hr) and quality 1.2kW battery charger for the handful of times you will need to top up the batteries.
We run dishwashers, air conditioner, kettles & coffee machines. Just not all at once!
Spilt System energy efficient inverter airconditioner has been installed in the main living area. Ceiling fans to main living space & bedroom. A quality woodstove heats the whole house in winter, and with 50 acres of pristine and heavily wooded bush, you'll never want for quality firewood.
50% clear valley floor and 50% bushland with wattles, grevilleas, red, yellow & white box (eucalypt) trees. Plus many, many more. The sandstone escarpment all around is breath-taking.
Bushwalking, rock climbing, cave exploring, hiking. So much wildlife with wombats, birds, kangaroos, wallabies, and wallaroos. It really is like living in a national park, a naturalist and birdwatchers' paradise. The starry nights have to be seen to be believed.
The local people are absolutely wonderful. Everyone looks out for each other in every sense, with regular catchups and neighbourly visits.
This beautiful piece of heaven is located just NE of wine country and 44km by road to Mudgee which is a picturesque country town, with many of the amenities of much larger regional centres and a burgeoning gourmet paradise!
Closer to home is the historic Cooyal Pub. Imagine settling down to a coffee or a countermeal in this quintessential bush pub on the banks of the Cooyal Creek, and in the winter by an open fire!
The local Cooyal Hall has tennis courts, hosts weekly playgroups for families, as well as multiple special events throughout the year, and just built a full undercover playground with bbq and picnic tables for all to use!
Castle Rock, and also Goulburn River & The Drip National Parks, are just some of the magical places to explore & take a dip.
