Discover a one-of-a-kind, hand-built rural sanctuary crafted from native and repurposed Australian hardwoods—including rare timbers such as red cedar, teak, and beech. This solid, character-filled home offers sustainable living without compromise, featuring a new lithium-ion battery bank and inverter powering a large, independent energy system.
Set on a 2+ acre, gently elevated northeast-facing block with forest air and cooling breezes, the property features a mature organic food system enriched with biodynamic preparations and a completely chemical-free soil history. Enjoy seasonal harvests from heirloom fruit and nut trees, and a beautifully landscaped environment designed for both productivity and play.
The 3 bedroom home is spacious and light-filled with an extraordinarily large verandah, perfect for all weather games and entertaining. The verandah flows beautifully to the land, where the fenced veggie garden is in easy reach.
The kitchen/living room is open-plan with high raftered ceilings and beautiful timber floors. The room is massive with plenty of room for a dining table and lounge area. A large island bench provides ample preparation space as well as being the hub of the home. A new slow-combustion fireplace in the living room fills the room with ambient heat whilst also being suitable for slow cooking winter soups and beans.Timber and glass tri-fold doors open to both sides onto the verandah making Summer a delightful indoor/outdoor experience from the living room.
The two large bedrooms are side by side, overlooking the leafy grounds through a wall of windows. Large rough-hewn poles add rustic charm while they also remind us of just how solidly this home is built. One room has doors to the garden and the carport. The other has access to the verandah and main bathroom. A smaller bedroom is next to the kitchen.
The main bathroom is brand new and will be completed by the time of sale. It is entered from the verandah via a beautiful stained glass door and the master bedroom also has direct access to it .This bathroom houses a freestanding bath with shower attachment, a flush toilet and wash basin. A separate bathhouse is situated in the garden. An Indonesian inspired outdoor room, it is open on 2 sides and overlooks the gardens. Definitely the bathroom of choice in Summer. If you have a crowdeed house or are working in the garden, there's two dual-chamber concrete composting toilets tucked neatly in amongst some clumping bamboo.
Family-friendly features abound: a treehouse cubby, climbing wall, rope swings, and open fields for soccer or archery. Quiet internal roads are perfect for bike riding, and local creeks offer refreshing swimming spots nearby.
A massive 4-6 space carport/workshop completes the picture.
With potential for additional pavilions or outbuildings, the property also presents a strong opportunity for rental accommodation—especially sought-after in this desirable region. Steiner and public schools are within easy reach with school buses to and from the Village entrance.
This property is within the Billen Cliffs Strata Village. It occupies approx. 800 acres of land with 115x2 acre strata titled blocks. The remaining 500+ acres is communally owned along with a fabulous hall, a morning cafe, library and art space. There are walking trails to the cliffs, communal orchards and seasonal creeks throughout the larger property.
In the interests of protecting native fauna the by-laws stress that CATS and DOGS are NOT PERMITTED.
