If you love the forest, the quiet, the birds, giant trees and tree ferns, then this is definitely worth a visit.
This 44 hectare property is a hidden gem, tucked away along the beautiful Kingfisher Road and
adjacent to the stunning South East Forests National Park.
Private and peaceful, the property is home to abundant wildlife, including several threatened
species, an impressive range of native plants and offers a refuge from the pace and demands of
modern life.
Thoughtfully built by the owners, this 2 bedroom mud brick home is the dream for the
sustainable lifestyler, downsizer or as a forest retreat.
The cottage has so much charm with an open plan design, raked ceilings, beautiful timbers
throughout, shady verandahs to keep you cool in summer, a wood heater and slow combustion
stove to keep you cosy in winter and a great bathroom.
The mud bricks were made, and laid, from the gorgeous red clay onsite. This home has been
loved, and has seen a family raised, for over 35 years. The owners are meticulous in the care of
their property.
An approved composting toilet complements the careful thought that has gone into the
property's sustainable design and is a great water saver and nutrient bank.
With a fully netted, established orchard and vegie garden, continuing food production is already
catered for.
The property also has a 'Voluntary Conservation Agreement' (VCA) covering 19 hectares of old
forest to protect it into the future. The beauty and grandeur of these old forest trees and tree
ferns is outstanding.
The VCA also affords the owners a significant reduction in rates.
The other 23 hectares is a valuable source of firewood and offers further wildlife habitat. The
homestead sits in a sunny 2 hectare clearing.
The property is completely off grid but your comforts are not compromised with the stand alone
solar system of 1500W panels, 2KVA inverter and backup 2KVA generator being more than
sufficient for this lifestyle.
A new Starlink internet system has been recently installed to ensure fast internet and good
mobile connection.
There is good water storage including rain and creek water, 2 water pumps, and a permanent
creek, with riparian rights, in a corner of the property.
