Tucked away privately yet so close to the Historic Wollombi village, this character filled three-bedroom storybook home has been positioned North/Easterly high on the hill to take advantage of the stunning picturesque surrounds of the enveloping mountains and beautiful Australian bushland. Solar passive the country design of this home is sure to please! Having a 15KW solar system with 6 lithium batteries which runs 12-volt led lights throughout and supplying 240 volts for everything else in the house.
The master bedroom is located upstairs and comes complete with an ensuite, sitting area/parents retreat, private balcony and spectacular views! Both the downstairs bedrooms have ample built in cupboard space with one of the bedrooms having direct access to the verandah. Open plan living incorporates a loungeroom and dining area with an adjoining kitchen fitted out with a gas cooktop, under bench oven, dishwasher and walk in pantry. All the rooms have great views through many light filled windows and French glass doors that access an undercover screened wrap around verandah which is great for entertaining throughout all seasons. A large main bathroom includes a corner spa bath and separate open shower. There is an internal laundry with direct access outside onto a small deck/patio. Hardwood timber floors and high raked ceilings compliment the style of the house. Many creature comforts include split system reverse cycle air conditioning, slow combustion fireplace, gas fittings for heating and for the barbeque. An instantaneous gas hot water system provides sustainability for the hot water supply to the home. A large outdoor entertainment deck area is the ideal location for afternoon sundowners, looking straight out to the majestic mountain views.
If you love the idea of being self-sufficient you are going to love the setup of the impressive vegetable gardens this property has to offer! An awesome landscaped garden with a water feature/pond creates the perfect ambiance for sitting back with family and friends and relaxing. Many outdoor features include under house storage, garden sheds, a workshop, woodshed, double carport and a 50,000-litre water tank supplying the house.
We asked the Vendors Kevin & Christine what makes their property special:
· Open up the three French doors leading onto a wraparound screened-in veranda. Sheltered from insects/bugs and the prevailing elements, giving the choice to sit outdoors and watch the wallabies and listen to the birds with lovely views over the mountains! Not a house to be seen!
· Views from all windows and doors give you the feeling of serene isolation. Yet we are only a 2klm walk/drive/bike into the Village of Wollombi, Café, Tavern, General Store, tennis court and more.
· We also enjoy walks through the northern valley Dry Sclerophyll Rain Forests (Old Growth Forest) with waterfalls etc., (in wet times) right on our doorstep, or walk over the mountain to the west, exploring caves and local flora and fauna.
· The property and house is located facing east with a northerly aspect, in the perfect Feng Shui location.
· And let's not forget our unique herb and veggie garden capturing the northern winter sun. Or sit by the pond, turn on the water falls and get lost in another world.
· We love our Geebung trees/shrubs all around our house and property one of the reasons we bought here 25yrs ago, weeping limbs/branches and green thin leaves and yellow flowers matching the colour of our house with black barked trunks and edible fruit it's like our own native orchard.
· We have a local female wallaby that comes every year with a joey in her pouch to release here as she trusts us and we hope she would trust you as well.
· Also our local King parrot visits' regularly with his female companion to say hello!
· Siting on the outdoor verandah, no lights at night from surrounding houses, etc. gives the most magical night sky!
· We live off grid with no expensive electricity bills or blackouts to be had, we can monitor our solar powered electricity system with our phone or iPad/Laptop and the system is upgradeable if desired. We enjoy music/news/podcast with the built in wall mounted CD/Radio/Internet/ Bluetooth connected player and speakers, TV and NBN internet via satellite.
We are sure you would enjoy this property, house and location as much as we have.
We are downsizing to a townhouse and won't need most of our present furniture/machinery and tools so they can be included in the sale price, so make a reasonable offer and it's yours to enjoy as much as we have over the last 25 years.
We are very sad to be leaving our little piece of paradise.
However, it is our time to move on!
