About the Property

Tucked away within approximately 11 acres of remnant bushland, this remarkable property offers a genuine escape from modern life and an opportunity to embrace a more sustainable, self-sufficient way of living.

Designed around permaculture principles and surrounded by nature, the property combines a distinctive three-bedroom home, established food gardens, renewable energy, independent water infrastructure and three separate tiny houses.

With extensive work already completed, it offers a rare opportunity for someone looking to create a family compound, community project or simply a private rural sanctuary.

The Main Home

The impressive two-storey main home has been constructed using volcanic rock, giving it a distinctive natural character that blends beautifully into its surroundings.

At the centre of the home is a striking hand-crafted Blackwood spiral staircase, creating a unique architectural feature and focal point.

The house has been designed to take advantage of its natural surroundings, with views from every room.

Wood heating adds warmth during cooler periods, complementing the property's other sustainable systems.

Off-Grid & Sustainable Living

The property has been developed with sustainability and self-sufficiency at its core.

Infrastructure includes:

• 4kW solar power system

• Backup generator

• Water storage tanks

• Wood heating

• 40-foot bore providing potable water

• Permaculture-designed gardens

Together, these systems provide a strong foundation for independent rural living.

Established Food Production

The property has already been developed as a productive homestead, with established gardens and an orchard.

The orchard includes:

• Apples

• Pears

• Plums

• Peaches

Large vegetable gardens and medicinal herb gardens surround the main house, providing space for growing food and useful plants.

The surrounding bushland also provides opportunities for seasonal foraging, with the property supporting fungi including Wood Blewits, Turkey Tail and Cordyceps, when in season.

Wildlife & Remnant Bushland

Nature is very much at the heart of this property.

The remnant bushland provides habitat for an impressive range of Australian wildlife, with sightings including:

• Koalas

• Kangaroos

• Echidnas

• Owls

• Bats

• Extensive birdlife

For anyone who values nature and wants to live surrounded by native wildlife, the setting is particularly special.

Three Private Tiny Houses

Adding considerable flexibility to the property are three self-contained tiny houses, each privately positioned within the grounds.

They have separate driveway access and are connected to the wider property by scoria paths and stairs.

The additional buildings could provide a variety of uses, subject to local regulations, including independent living spaces, creative studios, workspaces or accommodation for family members.

The existing layout makes the property particularly suited to multi-generational, family compound or community-style living.

Outdoor Living

Throughout the property are numerous carefully created outdoor spaces designed for enjoying the natural surroundings.

There are secluded areas for:

• Campfires

• Outdoor gatherings

• Relaxing beneath the stars

• Fire baths

• Gardening

• Connecting with nature

Scoria paths and stairs weave through the property, connecting the various buildings, gardens and outdoor spaces.

The result is a property that feels less like a conventional home and more like a small private sanctuary within the bush.

A Truly One-of-a-Kind Property

Very few properties combine this level of established infrastructure, natural surroundings, food production and alternative living spaces.

The hard work of establishing the gardens, sustainable systems, tiny houses and outdoor spaces has already been undertaken, allowing a new owner to step into an existing lifestyle rather than starting from scratch.

Whether you're looking for a private family compound, community living project, permaculture homestead or nature-based retreat, this property offers an extraordinary foundation.
