Sold Property details:

Handcrafted from mud bricks, recycled timbers and architectural features, with iconic Australian corrugated colour bond extension, this large residence set in a private bush setting is characteristic of an old farmhouse, with ambience and character rarely found in a home only 11 years young. If you’re looking for self sufficiency, charm, comfort, modern conveniences with no power or water bills ever, this magnificent home is well worth a visit. Bring your swag, chances are you’ll want to stay over.

Attention: “movie set designers”, please don’t call begging for filming rights for an Aussie classic, this home is for sale only and not available for short term rental. Speak to your firm’s bean counter, you’ll have to purchase if you’re looking for a Logie.

Situated to take advantage of the glorious views over the Nangkita valley and hills, right through to the Lakes & Coorong on a clear day, the home offers 4 bedrooms, several with built in wardrobes and 2 bathrooms with Willunga slate floors and a claw foot bath lit at night by a crystal chandelier. The rustic timber kitchen with recycled corrugated iron ceiling has an almost new 900mm gas cook top and oven, dishwasher, separate pantry cupboard, and mammoth walk in larder, big enough for a fifth bedroom or study as required.

The huge family and dining room shared with the kitchen has raked ceilings and exposed historic timber trusses. Another excellent design feature are the shady verandah’s north and south of this charming living area with quaint timber windows, ensuring excellent cross ventilation for cooling summer breezes, airflow aided by ceiling fans throughout. During the cooler months, snuggle up to the slow combustion wood heater.

The sprawling homestead extends east, enjoy another separate living room with views to buy for, framed by French doors and windows rescued from a stately manor. High ceilings, gas heating and a feature wall of exposed mud brick radiate relaxation.

Water is in abundant supply, quality bore equipped by submersible pump with a flow rate at 500gallons (2270L) /hour, rated at 248mg/Litre (Kangarilla drilling
10-11-2003 report available), which is fabulous drinking quality. In addition, there is storage for over 30,000 gallons (135,000L) of rainwater.

Abundant electricity is free, supplied by solar panels, wind generator (5 year warranty from Oct. 2008), and battery bank. With a 240v inverter, this unit powers all the homes appliances and lighting, including microwave, dishwasher, plasma TV, and does it with ease. This very large investment is all paid for, imagine, no more power bills ever. For the sceptics, there is even a fuel based backup generator if the sun has failed to rise, and there has not been a puff of wind for days. Solar hot water panels with gas backup and your own water supply means you can luxuriate in the claw foot bath and read your favourite book under the crystal chandelier every night to relax without worrying about the cost.

The land comprises of approximately 100 acres cleared and 20 acres of natural scrub, with treed shelter belts, which attracts native wildlife such as many kangaroos, echidnas, rare large iguanas, wedge tailed eagles, blue wrens, rosellas, kookaburras, magpies and more. The property has been used for cattle grazing, and a menagerie of pet horses, donkeys, camels, not quite two of every kind.

Further improvements include 8 paddocks, cattle yards, large high clearance implement shed (8x12m approx), another 2 car garage (5x6m), stables, shelters, aviaries, extra large fox proof poultry yard, fruit trees, and two high fenced enclosures of approx 2 acres, currently housing pet kangaroos and deer.
