The home comes with a basic expandable solar system, alarm system in house, garage and tool shed, Rinnai perpetual gas hot water system, heat pump/air conditioning, Smart Vent system (similar to HRV), double gas stove, double garage and workshop with plenty of lighting and power points plus automatic doors, 2 separate sheds, and a functional attic with pull down access, all providing additional useful space.

The lifestyle property has been designed with easy maintenance in mind and hosts an established food forest, a significant asset providing a wealth of delicious high health and money-saving produce from a long list of fruit and nut trees and other edibles, including Avocado’s, which, along with existing or other potential site functions can be utilised as an income stream. There is a separate area for small animals, with the potential to tailor various spaces and functions of the site to suit your needs and even accommodate a separate sleepout or cabin or two. Over the last 12 years numerous student groups have also utilised the site as a valuable and inspiring learning space while undertaking various related courses. The successful buyer will also be gaining free consultation from a qualified and experienced horticulture and permaculture design specialist.

Having stood the test of time – including keeping its feet dry during historic high rainfall events – you can also appreciate the Makino Stream with its native birds and wildlife as you meander throughout the food forest garden, or relax in the picnic area by the water’s edge, or in the cool shade of the native circle with its BBQ fire pit and entertainment area, or from the huge covered deck.
