On the property's
gently sloping land are 1000 towering pine trees, a touch of rainforest
along the creek with a permanent spring-fed water supply. The lawns and
gardens around the house are designed for ease of maintenance. The idyllic
setting is only matched by the house and its endless attributes.
At first glance
it looks like an average three-bedroom family home - a very large, average
home. But a closer look reveals much more. The main area (upstairs) has
3 good-sized bedrooms with built-in wardrobes. Two of the bedrooms, the
living room, and one of the downstairs offices have built-in Air Conditioning.
Furthermore, the house has a fully self-contained flat with private access,
full-length wide verandas (slate at the front and timber at the rear), 3
bathrooms, a massive rumpus room downstairs, 2 offices (or additional bedrooms)
downstairs plus a 2-car garage with a large workshop. It also has lots of
storage space in an enclosed narrow room downstairs which stretches the
whole length of the house.
The house is bright and stylish.
The living and dining rooms are spacious and the large windows capture the
ocean view to the east. The spacious and bright kitchen overlooks the property
to the west.
Water situation:
At the flick of a switch, water can be pumped from the creek to a tank. The
outside taps are hooked up to that tank. 2 large rainwater tanks (46,000 litres
combined) supply the house. The pumps under the house are lower than the tanks
so the water is gravity-fed to the bottom floor (a great advantage when the
electricity is interrupted and therefore the pumps are not working!). The
more-than-adequate water supplies ensure the property remains one of the greenest
in the country even in a drought.
There are lots of trees and
shrubs, and a healthy vegetable patch. The little orchard near the house provides
an array of fruits and nuts, including orange, tangerine, lemon, mulberry,
avocado, plum, nectarine, pecan, macadamia nut, papaya (pawpaw) mango, custard
apple, lemon myrtle, sweet potatoes and oodles of banana palms.
Other inclusions on the property
are a shade house, horse yard, a car ramp and pit.
