5 Elaine Close, Armidale NSW 2350

Escape to a life of serenity and self-sufficiency on this enchanting 2-acre hobby farm in the tranquil heart of Black Mountain, Armidale. Crafted in 2023 by Jeremy Cox Construction, this modern retreat blends sustainable living with refined comfort, inviting you to embrace an energy efficient lifestyle without compromise.

At its core is a 330-square-meter main residence, fully furnished with gleaming hardwood floors, high ceilings, and double-glazed windows that frame sweeping countryside vistas. Designed for effortless comfort, the home features superior insulation in walls and roof, keeping you cozy year-round without air conditioning.

Self-sufficiency is woven into every detail. A private bore delivers 1200–1500 liters of water per hour, supported by 183,100 liters of storage and a septic system, freeing you from municipal reliance. High-speed Starlink internet seamlessly blends rural serenity with modern connectivity.

A separate, fully furnished granny flat with lofty 2.70m ceilings provides a charming haven for guests or family, complete with its own kitchen, gas cooker, living area, bedroom, bathroom, laundry, and single garage. The land is a homesteader's paradise: a thriving vegetable garden with rich topsoil, over 50 fruit trees framed by cedar windbreakers, a chicken coop, and a large animal shed. Three beehives, yielding 25kg of honey last summer, add sweetness to your eco-conscious lifestyle. Two large storage containers offer ample space for tools, equipment, or future dreams.

Zoned R5 with no heritage listings or easements, this Armidale Council property (rates $1,300 no water rates) offers unmatched flexibility to shape your vision.
