Looking to be more self-sufficient on a budget? Want to have chickens, grow your own fruit and veggies while living in privacy so close to town? Don't want to keep paying huge energy and water bills? Then this property might just be the perfect place for you.
Situated on 18 acres of gently sloping land, which is fenced along the rear of the property bordering the only adjoining neighbour, is a 2 bedroom cabin, large insulated and predator proof chicken coop, a huge garden area which includes raised beds with improved soil, garden shed, greenhouse, compost bays, worm bath, established asparagus and strawberries plus much more. The garden is large enough to produce more than you will ever need.
The 1-acre house yard is fully fenced with timber, dog proof wire and electric fencing. The property has many established fruit trees including apricot, pomegranate, figs, grapes, mulberries, almonds, citrus, plums and many more.
The cabin runs on a 48 volt off grid system with a brand new Victron inverter and controller unit that runs all standard 240v appliances with a backup generator. Please note that one battery in the set is no good.
The small and tidy 2 bedroom cabin is a comfortable low maintenance home to live in. It was constructed by merging a donger and 1 bedroom caravan park style cabin together. It sits on steel supports but can be deconstructed and towed offsite should you wish to sell it in the future. The merge was completed by professionals in 2013 and has been lived in full time since then. The property has a building entitlement.
The cabin is small and very easy to run and maintain. We recently purchased over $3000 in bathroom upgrades including new toilet, wet walls, new vanity, taps etc and have deconstructed the bathroom in preparation for the renovation. The bathroom is still completely functional but does not look attractive and is only a cosmetic issue. We were preparing for both the kitchen and bathroom to be renovated but our circumstances recently changed, and we have had to relocate interstate. The bathroom upgrades we have purchased are all inside the cabin and will come with the sale. Enough wet walls are there to complete the bathroom and kitchen backsplash areas should you wish to do so.
The large undercover veranda, entertaining area and double carport creates a huge area for collecting rainwater which is stored in 3 large water tanks, 2x 23,000L and 1x 10,000L tank. New irrigation has been placed throughout the property with retractable hoses to maintain the fruit trees and gardens. It has a dam and is a perfect sight to put a bore in. Endless supply of firewood on the property to get you through winter each year. External laundry and small shed for tools etc.
The cabin has a gas hot water system and stove, satellite internet, reverse cycle air conditioning (window style) and a fireplace for extra comfort.
Best part about this property is the price, it is not easy to find a property like this in NSW for under 500K. It's not a brick on slab with perfectly paved driveway and landscaped gardens so please don't enquire unless you are looking for a lifestyle not a show home. This place might not look fancy but it's been such an awesome home for us, it's been so cheap to live here, with an abundance of fruits, veggies, eggs and next to no bills.
Warialda is a great peaceful town that has a community of caring people that makes it special. Although neighbours are out of sight, they are the first to arrive should you have an emergency. Everything you need is only 5 minutes from your door including a hospital and IGA, and for the larger conveniences like Bunnings you are only 40 mins to Inverell. You will never have flooding issues, and should you want to connect to the grid you have power running through the property via an easement.
Will consider all overs over $295000.
