The first time I viewed this property with its cool canopied rain forest walk to the river and its deep swimming holes and mountain back drop i was entranced by the magic of the place. Everything here has grown so easily with no chemicals with every variety of citrus including finger limes. Exotics like acerola berry a variety of succulents, tumeric, ginger, kiwi fruit, dragon fruit, coffee bush, tea bushes, mango macadamia. A hot house and vege tubes to grow vegetables all year round and an extensive herb garden. There is a snake fox and goanna proof chicken pen and run. This is truly a dream place to become self sufficient.
The garden is low maintenance which gives plenty of time to sit in the courtyard with its grape vine covered pergola and enjoy the beauty.
The house has been refurbished with non toxic materials including paint and hard wood flooring and varnishing. Bathrooms and kitchen are completely new with new plumbing throughout. The house has been completely rewired with new light fittings and fans. The brick fireplace has slow combustion wood heater insert which heats the house during the colder months. Two skylights to give more light to the downstairs have been added. The upstairs master bedroom has an ensuite bathroom and a reverse cycle air conditioner. The roof has 5 whirlybirds to help with heating and cooling.
Extensive drainage works and the position of the house make it completely safe in heavy rain and flooding.
Water is a feature of this property with its close proximity to the river yet safe from flooding it has a submersible electric pump which services taps to all garden areas and has the option to be directed to the house if necessary. The house has 2 x 22500 litres water tanks one being stainless steel providing beautiful drinking water.
There are 1.5 kva solar panels with a 5 kva inverter supplying back to the grid power. Additional panels can be added to maximise the 5 kva inverter.
