The immaculate home is perfectly positioned on the property to take in the best view from its large wide veranda and it's open plan design accentuates the amount of light and space throughout. The large kitchen features stainless steel electric oven and hotplate with multitudes of useable bench space, from there you enter the open plan dining and lounge area, with its polished timber floorboards, large windows and sliding doors opening out on to the wide verandah, it gives you a feeling of endless space. There is a Nectre wood heater located perfectly that fills the home with the warmth only a wood fire can, a Mitsubishi reverse cycle split system is also there for backup heating or cooling duties. The home has 3 large bedrooms, 2 with built in robes and a large family bathroom with separate walk through toilet. There is solar hot water, two 22,500lt and two 4,500lt rainwater tanks, that make the most of every inch of roof catchment area. No water bills are a bonus. Offering enormous storage area underneath the home with a large door, big enough to drive a small car through. Stepping out the back door, there is a small wood shed and a 6m x 6m double roller door garage with concrete floor. Just a stroll down the hill is another large shed with concrete floor and power, a double carport at one end, a beautiful self contained getaway unit with rock feature wall, Coonara wood heater, kitchenette and bedroom.
