Looking for a sustainable and self-sufficient lifestyle block? This property of 2.0140ha (roughly 5 acres) has had most of the hard work done for you.

The house is very well presented and extremely comfortable to live in.

All bedrooms have built in wardrobes. The kitchen, laundry and bathroom cabinets are solid recycled jarrah and pine with Federation style green and cream tiles in all wet areas. Relax on the elevated front verandah and enjoy views onto farmland and water catchment dams. The house has been restored with self-sufficiency and sustainability in mind. There is an extensive solar panel power system complete with storage batteries that also feed into the power grid - rather than paying bills, this house makes you money! A brand new Rheems solar hot water system has been recently installed. Water is suppled totally from two 22713 litre rain water tanks at rear of house. A smaller tank on the front roof supplies water for the fenced veggie patch which has a gravitated irrigation system.The sewage system is a Dean Cameron design Biolytix that irrigates the orchard to the left of the house.

Two dams are present on the property, a white clay dam which is used to pump water to the water tanks, and a brackish dam at the front of the property which is used for marron (freshwater crayfish). To the left of the house there is a building that was the original dwelling but which is no longer livable in, made of corrugated iron and various timber and iron frame. It is currently used as a storage shed and has an electricity supply.
