This one of a kind home, likened to a fairytale home, is situated in a stunning secluded setting amongst approx 220 acres (88.64Ha) in the picturesque Upper Lansdowne Valley on the Mid North Coast of NSW, with a wide cleared alluvial creek flat and the crystal clear waters of the Lansdowne River meandering along the front of the property providing a choice of large, crystal clear swimming holes to cool off in Summer. The land comprises of approx. 5 cleared acres around the home. Young growth beyond that was previously cleared, leading to more heavily timbered land. Water is plentiful with an irrigation licence on the river plus a dam. Constructed with the environment at mind and heart, using the ancient method of mud brick and timber from the property, rustic recycled door and windows and loving collected jewels to add a little sparkle, the home was lovingly constructed over 6 years. White Mahogany logs from the property were used in the pole construction. The gable ends of the home were constructed from mud brick and weatherboard cladding of Bloodwood and Flooded gum also provided from the property. Visually the home could be from another time, and with the mix of medieval style and fantasy you also get the sense of living in your own fairytale or movie set. Some of this effect comes from the many and varied leadlight windows and doors. The home is truly eclectic and individual. On the Western end where windows were kept fairly small to protect from the summer sun, there is an upper Juliet balcony with a decorative zinc metal awning. Enter the home via solid, handmade doors and pole slab edges inset with coloured glass through the full thickness of the timber so as to be visible from both sides, setting the scene for the many treasures within. The kitchen features a green ceramic sink, a large gas stove and a Rayburn slow combustion stove which also heats the water, pressed metal panels on the walls, old Victorian tiles have been used as a colourful splashback to the natural edged Blue Gum bench top. The flooring is 50mm Tallowwood timber boards. The high cathedral ceiling in the living room is lined with shiplapped Australian Red Cedar. At one gable end is a large coloured glass circular window, at the opposite end, a storage loft or mezzanine sectioned by draped "sail" fabric to emulate the mast of a ship.
