Are you a conservation minded person looking for a property that is going to provide you with an ecological sustainable lifestyle? Is protecting natural values and endangered plants and animals something you are passionate about? Perhaps you're looking for a lifestyle that embraces nature like a bush retreat, artist retreat or just to get away from the hustle and bustle and enjoy the peace and tranquillity this property has to offer.
Kumbatine National Park backs onto this property, and it is known for its rolling and steep forested hills, providing known habitat for 14 threatened animal species, including the koala, yellow-bellied glider, squirrel glider and three species of large forest owl.

Impressive and energy efficient handcrafted four bedroom timber & stone home with materials chosen for their durability, maintenance and temperature control. This beautiful family home was designed and built with materials sourced primarily from the property and locally.

Featuring open plan living design with high ceilings lined with local hardwood timbers and big bold handcrafted support beams. On entry you instantly notice the neutral temperature.
A huge family room seamlessly connects with the outdoors. Combustion fireplace and plenty of room for the whole family. Multiple sliding doors access the rear patio.
The kitchen is massive with a stunning bloodwood benchtop, a gas cooktop and oven, a woodfired oven and stove. A hand carved red cedar timber table runs the length of the kitchen. Plenty of pot drawers and storage space.
The formal lounge is central, a perfect sitting or reading room with beautiful hardwood timber floors provides a welcoming space.
The bedrooms are all generous in size and all unique in shape and textures. The office is just off the kitchen and has access to the rear deck which faces north east taking in gentle ocean breezes.
The master bedroom has access to its own deck and a stair case that leads up to "the observatory", a quiet room away from the rest of the house that could have multiple uses such as craft, yoga, study, meditation or storage.
Combined laundry and bathroom is deliberately positioned at the lowest point of the house, to enable water to be gravity fed with ample pressure. The room features stone walls and timber supports with plenty of natural light. Shower is located above the bath and a couple of steps make it easy to access.
Self-composting toilet has been well appointed with handcrafted timber sink, timber floors, high ceiling and beautiful views of nature outside.
