Perfectly positioned on a ridge top bridging Tweed and Brunswick Valleys, with views of the Queensland
Border Ranges, this passive solar rammed earth home is uniquely one of a kind.

farm forestry area of 300 mature native Hoop-Pines that are a viable proposition for forestry and milling. Land area is 2.77HA (6.859 acres) and has beenin the family for over 50 years.
The original rammed earth organic home was hand built by the owner. Check out

The tropical gardens are stunning, complete with established Cacti and rare Palms, as are the
numerous artistic aspects of the home.
