Set upon a generous 2 � Acres (approx.) corner block, this bespoke family home offers a very unique lifestyle opportunity in Teesdale! Designed to work in perfect harmony with the surrounding landscape, this passive solar property promotes sustainable living. From the engineered mud brick residence and versatile studio, to the sprawling grounds and established orchard, every inch of this property is an eco-friendly delight!
Situated on a peaceful street, the sense of tranquillity and escape is total. The Chinaman's Lagoon and Teesdale Grassy Woodland Reserve are moments from your front door, while the main street places a medical centre, pharmacy, and the Teesdale General Store within easy reach. The Teesdale Primary School and Kindergarten are conveniently close by for young families.
Mud brick, paddock stone, and a combination of recycled and plantation timber enhance the home's character and ecofriendly credentials. Surrounded by native gardens and bushland, a tranquil outlook is captured through every window.
The main living/kitchen/dining zone entices the whole family to come together, with a wood heater creating a cosy ambience during the cooler months. The rustic kitchen features an oven, gas hob, and Miele integrated dishwasher. Two large pantries provide ample storage space, while the original Backwell ixl wood stove also generates hot water and warmth in winter. The brick paved alfresco inspires relaxation and overlooks the secure backyard where children and pets can play freely. With the alfresco draped in table grape vines, this outdoor setting is picture perfect.
The Master Bedroom is graced with built-in robes and close access to the main bathroom with shower and bathtub. Upstairs is home to two additional bedrooms with built-in robes, with a cute secret passage passing between them. A study is located near the main entrance, with an adjoining room offering potential as a home office, lounge, 4th bedroom or en suite for the master bedroom. A walkway with a double-glazed glass roof adds winter warmth and unites the main living zone with the bedrooms, while the staircase is home to a charming hidden bookcase.
Boasting a passive solar design with an abundance of north-facing windows, heating and cooling are managed effectively throughout the year. In winter the solar energy warms the house, while in summer the home is designed to shade the windows from the summer sun. Window vents are featured throughout and allow for a cooling airflow during the warmer months. Ducted vacuuming is a welcome modern convenience.
Built from stone, a separate studio with power and plumbing is sectioned into different zones - a solar greenhouse, a work shed with room for two vehicles, and two smaller rooms. Why not use the space as a tradie's workshed, an artist's studio, or even transform it into a gorgeous Bed & Breakfast or restaurant (STCA)?
The expansive grounds are home to established veggie gardens and an orchard. You'll never be short of fresh produce with a 35-year-old citrus grove, wild apple grove, almond grove, and a selection of pecan, macadamia, Franquette walnut, Bunya Pine and other fruit trees in your very own backyard!
Other features include a dam/wetland zone, native bushland area, approx. 60 000L of water storage with pump system and 6 solar panels.
A single carport and plentiful off-street parking for boats, trailers, and caravans complete the property.
Entering the property market for the first time since it was built, this sensational eco-friendly residence is one-of-a-kind! Inspection will delight!
