Hidden within the peaceful surrounds of Wallaby Road Community, this approximately 8-acre share offers a rare opportunity to embrace a more connected way of life. Surrounded by established gardens, a spring-fed community dam and beautiful natural spaces, the property combines rustic charm, privacy and practical off-grid infrastructure.
Significant improvements have been completed across the property by the current owners, enhancing comfort, reliability and liveability while retaining the home’s rustic character. These include upgrades to the instantaneous gas hot water system, plumbing, driveway access, electrical systems, earthworks, general repairs and maintenance, along with improvements to the kitchen, living areas and outdoor decks. The existing 6.6kW solar array is supported by a newly installed 6.5kW Victron inverter/charger, Victron charge controllers, touch monitoring system and 14.4kWh of Pylontech lithium-ion battery storage.
The cedar-clad home, originally built in the 1980s, is filled with warmth and character. High cathedral ceilings, exposed timber, slate flooring and natural finishes create an inviting atmosphere throughout. The flexible floorplan includes a downstairs bedroom plus a loft-style second bedroom above the living area, creating a light-filled retreat overlooking the heart of the home.
Connected by a breezeway, a newer extension provides a huge additional bedroom, studio or creative space, complete with insulated ceilings, floating floors and modern lighting. The main bedroom includes a Panasonic air-conditioning system and has direct access to both the main entertaining deck and a private balcony. In the lounge room, a second Panasonic air conditioner and wood heater provide year-round comfort.
The kitchen is practical and full of character, featuring timber benchtops, a gas stove, dual sinks and a walk-in pantry. The adjoining light-filled bathroom is finished in crisp white tones and enjoys a leafy outlook.
Outdoor living is a standout feature. The main entertaining deck overlooks park-like gardens through glass balustrades and includes an insulated roof, outdoor fan and hardwood decking. A small pavilion offers space for yoga, meditation or quiet relaxation, while a large greenhouse, extensive under-house storage, a large storage shed and multiple excavated flat pads add excellent practical value for gardening, projects and future use.
Water security is excellent, with two large cement tanks providing approximately 54,000 litres of combined storage. This includes the main rainwater tank servicing the house, plus a second header tank of the same size, which is rainwater fed and also connected to a pump from the spring-fed community dam.
The property features established edible plantings including mature mango, custard apple/atemoya, guava, loquat, mulberry, citrus and coffee, together with blueberries, cassava, sweet potato and seasonal edible vines. The food forest provides seasonal harvests throughout much of the year and offers excellent potential for further expansion into a productive permaculture or regenerative lifestyle garden.
