This could be your lifestyle and tree change to greater sustainability, peace and quiet. Nestled between the Sandon State Forest and farming land, this sustainably designed off-grid three-bedroom mudbrick home is set within a wildlife oasis of 155 acres of native grassland and forest with two dams and a spring-fed creek and waterholes, all protected by a conservation covenant.
The mud brick house has been cleverly designed with passive solar features to ensure it’s cool in the summer and makes the most of winter sun; it remains toasty warm in winter, assisted by two solid wood fires and a north-facing clerestory windows maximising light in the south-facing bedrooms and lounge room. Verandas on two sides provide shade in summer and add to the outdoor living spaces. The layout and design give this house a wonderful flow and inside-outside feel.
Inside, the generous master bedroom space includes an ensuite & walk-in-robes. Together with the second and third bedrooms, all have beautiful views into the garden and forest beyond as well as BIR’s with one currently being used as a home office. A wonderful and practical Scandia wood fire stove is at the heart of the kitchen and heats and cooks with an additional gas stove option. A large walk-in pantry includes the fridge and freezer space, and rustic wooden benches complete the country kitchen feel. Vintage stained glass windows scattered throughout this home add light and colour & rustic timber ceilings and features complete this wonderful country home or getaway.
Outdoor entertainment areas landscaped native gardens, and vegetable beds ready to sew surround the house within a 1.2-acre exclusion fence to prevent your marsupial neighbours from grazing on your salad.
