1998 Araluen Road, Deua River Valley, NSW, 2537, Australia

In a world where people are looking for self sustainability, here is the perfect way to achieve it.
This 2 bedroom, cedar and hardiplank cottage on 17.5h (43.2 acres) was built in 1995 and the owners have lived happily ever after since! There was an extension done in 2016 which kept true to the original build, but made the home much more spacious. Although you are 20 kms from town, the school bus will stop out the front and you are still close enough to go into town and have dinner at the club if you don't feel like cooking.
So many features to this loved home that I'm not sure where to start, but let me try! Both bedrooms have an ensuite, there are combustion wood fires in the dining and lounge as well as a wood stove (does have a conventional oven and stove top as well) Jarrah hardwood floors, undercover entertaining area on the verandah which wraps around the entire house.
Do you want to be the purveyor of your own home grown goods as well as being able to live off them? Well if the zombie apocalypse happens, there is a mature fruiting orchard with plum, apple, pears, nashi, cumquat, spanish chestnut, strawberry guava, carob and fig trees. Also walnut, hazelnut, pecan and macadamia, valencia, naval and blood oranges and mandarins. Olive trees and an irish strawberry tree, so you surely won't starve.
There are 2 x 27,000lt water tanks with riparian rights to pump up from the river, and there is a reasonably new (2021) Powerplus Lithium Battery bank that holds 13.3KW as well as panels that are approx 7KW, so your power and water are looked after as well.
The land around the house approx 7 acres is cleared and there is a large cleared area away from the house block that would suit large garaging or shedding if you so wanted or needed.
The decision to leave this private piece of paradise has not been an easy one but the current owners are hoping that someone will fall in love and treasure it as much as they have.
