This amazing, vibrant and colourful home makes you feel instantly comfortable as soon as you walk through the door. The renovations have been designed and created with great thought to ensure the sustainability of the home was maintained in every area. The wood on the outside of the house was obtained from an entire tree which was brought to the house and radially cut to give a natural look of creative design that sets it apart from normal particle board houses. The remaining stumps are beautifully scattered throughout the lush gardens ensuring nothing was wasted. The stunning bathroom was created using wood salvaged from the owners parents farm and was completely hand crafted. Above the luxurious bath are bi-fold windows that extend and open directly onto the decking, all of which was made from using a reclaimed boat. This creates the ultimate relaxing environment where you can escape and feel as though you are bathing in the garden with the many birds that inhabit the backyard. This bright and warm home is sun-filled all year round with its large north facing windows and the brand new ducted heating system adds that extra bit of warmth during the colder months. Air flows freely during the warmer months creating a cost effective way to naturally ventilate and passively cool the home. The open plan kitchen and living area provide a tranquil and cosy place to either entertain or simply unwind. The established gardens boast multiple organic fruit trees, vines and veggie beds based upon the principles of permaculture and a sustainable habitat in which to dwell and enjoy nature's biodiversity. The up-cycled chicken coup was designed and hand made by the owner using parts of an old country post office. Despite being in close proximity to all amenities, this is a private and quiet property. The securely gated driveway leads to an undercover carport that could also provide additional storage for your caravan or boat. Lastly, a lock up garage and gorgeous wooden cubby house complete this delightful home. It is a real gem and should be viewed ASAP as it is sure to impress!
