An energy efficient, three bedroom masonry and fibre cement weatherboard home of generous proportions within a productive food-garden on one hectare, (approx. 2.5 acre), of land that will easily accommodate the needs of a sustainable lifestyle.
The heart of the home is the open-plan family living and dining space with adjoining kitchen, perfect for entertaining with high-spec appliances, including double electric ovens, plumbed ‘smart fridge’ and a huge butler’s pantry for home grown produce storage, (more on that later), while bi-fold windows open onto the rear outdoor alfresco area.
There are three bedrooms, all with stand-alone open robes and each with separate linen cupboards; that share the beautifully created family bathroom with double vanity, walk-in shower and stand-alone bath.
Meeting the needs of modern work-day practices, there’s also a dedicated home office with wireless NBN and separate external access. To complete the home there’s a spacious laundry, plus under-roof double car garage and workshop.
The home has been designed for comfort with a pavilion roof line letting in plenty of natural daylight. Orientated true north with appropriate eaves to capture winter warmth, while keeping the summer heat at bay. Double-glazed doors and windows are specifically located to maximise the benefits of cross flow ventilation, aided by polyester insulation in the walls, ceiling and floor, resulting in a 6 star energy rating.
Outdoor entertaining areas include both a ‘winter’ deck and a ‘summer’ deck, both spacious and allowing comfort regardless of the season.
Other features include blackbutt timber floors, reverse-cycle heating and cooling, heat-pump HWS with instantaneous gas back-up, outdoor studio/ cubbyhouse and large sandpit area.
If you’re wanting a more sustainable lifestyle, this property ticks all the boxes! Using principles from many different sustainable system designs; such as permaculture, the entire property has been thoughtfully and thoroughly constructed.
It’s an absolute food bounty… featuring a large polytunnel garden for year round vegetable growing with an additional external garden perfect for staple root crops. With a selection of over 40 heirloom fruit varieties; plus a deep litter chicken run to complete the food production system.
Three phase power is connected, as is mains water, in addition to a 22K litre freshwater tank that supplies the entire property via irrigation.
Offering a private and quiet living environment within minutes of the Inverleigh township the property is perfectly suited to a young family, an older couple looking to downsize, or a tradesperson looking to implement a better work-life balance… the choices are endless.
There are also completed architectural drawings available for a parents retreat with master bedroom, office, ensuite and walk-in robe; with existing footings already in place and masonry blocks onsite.
Zoned Low Density Residential Zone and is within an easy commute of Geelong, Melbourne and Surf Coast beaches.
