The Story
A perfect place for those seeking a sense of solitude, yet only a short 10 minute drive to Woodside or Lobethal. This charming, solid brick home is strategically placed on its own acre of land amongst 100's of acres of certified organic beef pasture. Your back verandah provides a shady place to relax and take in the calming benefits of this tranquil setting.
The home was built in the 1950's of brick and Mount Gambier Stone providing a secure and stable foundation for the last 60 odd years. Tasmanian Oak flooring features in the living room , lofty ceilings also feature throughout. The 3 double bedrooms are all filled with natural light as are the 2 separate living spaces. The neutral toned
eat in kitchen has a charming simplicity with a western aspect overlooking the orchard. It boasts stainless steel European appliances, a dishwasher and soft close drawers. A split system air conditioner keeps the climate under control although with thick walls, great insulation and a north facing aspect the owners say this really only needs to be used in extreme weather conditions. the slow combustion fire in the main living room keeps the home snug in the winter months. The second living room overlooking the rear garden could also be utilised as an extra bedroom for family or guests. The large laundry has an abundance of storage. The bathroom is still in its original condition, although usable, it will benefit from renovation. The separate toilet is off the laundry.
The current owners have made significant improvements to this property over the last 5 years.
These include a 2.5kw solar system with 12 panels and a European inverter. This was installed in 2010 and since then the owners have not paid a cent for power (In fact they receive a rebate). They have also replaced every window with energy efficient UPVC double glazing. The windows are filled with Argon gas increasing the energy efficiency and also decreasing any noise. The windows are European Tilt style helping to create cooling breezes in the warmer months. 70,000 litres of rainwater storage means there are no water supply charges and an Aerobic sand filter septic system means there is no quarterly service charge as with other septic systems. The grey water is used to irrigate the front photinia hedge that is being established in the front garden. A very energy efficient home.
A powered double shed together and a single car shed are located at the rear.
The garden is fenced, near flat and well stocked with established fruit trees. There is so much room for the kids and pets to play, with only the cows for your neighbours.
