- Please note Saturday's open (29th Oct) has been cancelled - 'Jimbelumba' a name derived from an indigenous term for 'two friends' and when the owners of 'Jimbelumba' first saw this beautiful property they knew it was exactly what they had been looking for as it embodies place and belonging. They both have a strong interest in supporting the local ecosystem and aimed to share their space with nature. The block is more than half covered with remnant dry-sclerophyll forest and 45-year-old plantation pine trees, this supports an extraordinary and diverse range of native flora and fauna - Eastern-Grey Kangaroos, Wallabies, Possums, Gliders, Bats, Echidnas and a plethora of reptiles and native birds and an occasional wombat - all who make their homes here too. Architect designed and built by renowned David Loft construction, the home sits quietly in the environment while the design works to harness the winter sun's warmth and it is built to offer shade from the summer heat. This is a solar passive purpose-designed rural residence which operates efficiently and has wonderful energy and light drenched rooms. This home is so much more than just environmentally friendly, it is comfortable, immensely private - there are neighbours, but you will need to go and find them only being visible on the very edges of the property and it is the perfect place to entertain. Large open decks with 4 metre high ceilings, a fitted outdoor kitchen and restful gardens entice you to take a seat and enjoy the tranquility of the natural bush around you. There are just not enough leisure days to exhaust the joy of the unique indoor/outdoor living environment. If you like to cook and dine outside, you will find it easy here, there is more than enough room to entertain on a large scale. The one-of-a-kind 2.8-metre-deep plunge pool effortlessly knocks the sting out of hottest summer afternoons. The bespoke pool and deck offers a perfect place to soak up a quiet afternoon with a drink in hand, overlooking a view of the bush and taking in soundscape of nature. Inside, the living and dining rooms overlook the deck and the trees beyond, the kitchen is a chefs paradise, thoughtfully laid out and fitted with quality appliances and best of all it offers a place to sit and socialize with your friends and family making cooking a whole lot more fun. There is an abundance of storage in this home and if you have been wanting to explore home preserving and beer making then there is a special room just waiting to be utilized. In these changing times more people are choosing to work from home and Jimbelumba is an ideal place to do just that with the two complete standalone home offices plus a immersive nature outlook yoga/Pilates pavilion. This adds to the flexibility and self-contained nature of the property, the pavilion could be used for guest accommodation or as an additional living room. The accommodation comprises a large master bedroom that has a full glass wall with a panoramic view over a private courtyard so you can enjoy the changing colours of the garden. This is a bath big enough for two, a walk-in robe and a good size ensuite. Bedroom number two is very large, it has a lounge area and built in robe, this room too has a garden outlook, the third bedroom is also a good size and these two rooms are served by a three way bathroom. The garden is well established, bee and bird attracting and has a low maintenance mix of native plants with the addition of some beautiful specimen trees such as Japanese Maple trees.
