Property details
This unique property is the loving creation of a master builder who was way ahead of his time. Being at the forefront of natural health and sustainable living. It was built as a luxurious survival block, for a time when the shop shelves run dry.
10.5 acres, taking up almost an entire valley, with a mixture of gulf course style greens and approximately 4 acres of old growth rain forest up the hillsides and around the creek. Yah, that's right, you get to have your own valley with a dam for swimming and or farming. The rich volcanic soil does not have clay, so the dam was made with a heavy-duty liner and stays full year-round. She is 18ft deep straight off the dam wall and has a syphoning system with a 1-way valve installed so it syphons from the bottom of the dam, flowing under rather than flow over, the spill way. Established fruit trees including rare exotic fruits.
Buildings
The main house is made from brick and tile with cyclone rods anchoring her into the hill side. It has withstood 2 x category 5 cyclones, with minimal damage and has an inbuilt cyclone shelter. 3 bedrooms, all with built-in robes and an office. Upstairs and downstairs bathrooms. Open plan living to bring the family together and a stunning Tasmanian oak kitchen. Sunken lounge with custom made, curved reclining lounge chairs.
The house is designed for the tropics and is fully air conditioner with split systems. However, it also has an economical, central exhaust fan, to draw the breeze through any window when you'd prefer a breeze to air conditioning.
The master bedroom opens onto the full-length veranda, linking seamlessly to the outdoor BBQ area and the stunning infinity pool. The views from here during the day are to die for. And floating in the pool at night, when the water is spilling over the lite up waterfall, staring up at a billion stars is like.. wow. Just wow!
Hidden from the street is the lockable 8 car garage which is also a cyclone shelter, it has its own bathroom and toilet, the space houses a monstrous workshop with 3 phase power and gymnasium with views of the vegetable garden.
On the far end of the main house is a very spacious, fully self contained, single bedroom unit. Fully air conditioned and tiled throughout with calming rainforest views. New gas stove, built in laundry and private deck. The dual access provides complete privacy, and it is fitted with wheel chair access.
High roofed boat/machinery shed. Easily fits a couple of trailer sailors or tip trucks. Has mind blowing 62,000 litre, concrete water tank built in underneath. The entire property can be easily switched from rain water to town supply.
Finally there is a separate, secluded 2 bedroom house in the valley, overlooking the dam. Access is by separate driveway. It has a double car port and garden shed. Ceiling fans throughout and louvers to capture the breeze whilst repelling the rain.
The things you could do with this place are endless, let your imagination run wild. As you have already guessed, no expense was spared throughout the 30+ years that it took to bring this creation to life. Selling because the master who made it has passed away and its too big for his family.
Much of the furniture was hand crafted and designed for the house, so it will be sold fully furnished.
