Follow in the very light footsteps of the nature loving owners who go before you. Like them you will enjoy the comfort provided by the passive solar construction as well as the financial savings of reduced energy bills thanks to the thermal mass of the home.
Grevillea and ornamental pear trees line the driveway from the sealed bitumen road and stunning paperbark trees stand majestically in front of the home. An irrigation system takes care of the watering of the stunning gardens. The property measures around three quarters of an acre and two leafy oak trees line the rear boundary fence. Fruit trees include passion fruit, orange, apple, apricot, almond, pear, cherry, peach, nectarine, pomegranate and persimmon.
A shady and attractive verandah dresses the inviting home on every side and neat garden beds hug the front and rear providing beautiful, colourful outlooks from indoors. It's a delight to sit in the peaceful quiet and observe the local bird species fluttering about the garden. The home comprises four bedrooms and open plan design which is versatile enough to accommodate a variety of furniture and hobbies; such are art easels, sewing machines, reading chairs, and tables for puzzles, board games and card games.
The place provides a sense of calm and focus for those who wish to work from home. You'll no doubt found yourself maximally productive without the buzz, hum and whirr of the traditional office environment, which you can simply dial into as needed (without even touching a carpet square!).
