For those who enjoy total privacy and peace and quiet this is the ultimate rural retreat. The 223 largely bush acres are surrounded by the Tallaganda State Forest and larger grazing properties. With access via a private tree lined driveway the property is completely screened from view. Inside is its own private world.
The house consists of a 4 bedroom 2 bathroom double brick solar passive home in its own garden setting. Features include a Blackwood timber kitchen with modern appliances including gas cooking. Heating is provided by the sun (free) and two slow combustion fireplaces. (There is no shortage of firewood here!) With cathedral ceilings, slate flooring and cedar windows this is a home of character.
Infrastructure includes a 4 bay shed with one enclosed bay, chook shed and dog yard, over 80,000 litres of water storage, diesel storage tank and not forgetting the solar power system.
There is the added bonus of a second cottage which was the original house. While needing work to return it to a liveable dwelling it is watertight and could be refurbished relatively easily. An extended list of inclusions goes with the property.
The land has lots of interesting clearings many of which could easily be expanded to allow for grazing animals. An established orchard has been set up with drip irrigation. The land is subdivided into 4 paddocks.
The property has excellent potential for those wishing to be self-sufficient. Generating its own power and providing its own water, sewerage and firewood it is extremely cheap to run. All you pay are the rates and a bit of gas. Water is plentiful with a higher rainfall ( the timber is rainforest), frontage to the permanent Ballaba creek, two large dams and excellent storage tanks.
This is a unique property for those wishing to take control of their lives. With commuting to Canberra around 50 minutes it enables its owners the enviable possibilities of working in Canberra while living in a totally different world.
