Mini Farm with Maxi Accommodation. Sustainable Living at its Simplest
Description
Nestled in the foothills of the Billen Cliffs, this much loved family property has more to offer
than will fit on the page. This 2,5 acre, strata titled, package is part of the Billen Cliffs Village
which provides much in the way of community, farming, wildlife and wilderness.
The home and studios are positioned at the top of the land, capturing close views of the cliffs as
well as distant views of the Mackellar Ranges, and overlooking the gentle farmland of the
property, complete with heart shaped dam. A magnificent pool is also at your doorstep. The
home has 3 levels and has undergone many improvements over the last decade. It now features
4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, kitchen, living/dining room and plenty of outdoor entertainment
areas. The main level houses 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, a sleepout (sunroom), kitchen and
living room with wide verandahs on all sides.
THE LIVING ROOM has polished timber floors and high cathedral ceilings, with
sawdust/sand/cement walls and beautiful, recycled antique windows. A woodfire heats the
home from here and reverse cycle air conditioning keeps the temperature pleasant in both
Summer and Winter. A timber staircase leads from this room to the LOFT, a magical space with
a wall of artfully arranged windows that fill the space with light and character and look out
over the land. It would make the perfect art space or office, if not required as a 3rd bedroom.
THE KITCHEN has been recently renovated. It is light filled with windows on 2 sides and takes
in views to the South and West and overlooking the pool. It has a large walk-in pantry, new
dishwasher, gas stove and oven and plenty of bench space. The kitchen opens to the
verandahs, with a wide entertainment deck where you will be visited by every bird in the region
(including wedge-tail eagles and endangered glossy black cockatoos flying overhead) and
have your own bird’s eye view of the gentle wallabies and their joeys as they relax on your
lawn.
THE MASTER BEDROOM is large and welcomes the morning sun through its eastern and
northern windows. Air conditioning is installed for comfort on those extreme days.
THE BATHROOM can be accessed from here via the sleepout as well as from the verandah.
THE SECOND BEDROOM is accessed via the kitchen and has windows to the verandah and the
sleepout.
DOWNSTAIRS is another outdoor entertainment area, especially nice for the summer months.
The fourth bedroom opens onto this space and has its own ENSUITE bathroom which also
houses the LAUNDRY.
A giant 10.7m POOL is a wonderful feature of this property and is only two years old. With a
massive aggregate concrete entertainment area, a marquee and HOT SPA, you will never put it
to rest. The Quantum pool sanitiser uses UV light as a chemical-free water purifier.
On the other side of the pool and quite private from the house is a large 11.8m x 3.1 meter
HumpyCo cabin with a 2.4 meter wide covered verandah. It comes complete with compost toilet, its own water tank and pump as well as underground power and
internet connected., There are multiple uses for this cabin.
A 2nd smaller HumpyCo cabin is at the entrance to the property. It too has underground power
and internet connected, as well as its own water tank, pump and large outdoor sink. At 6m x
3.1m with a large covered deck and its own carport, this cabin also lends itself to multiple uses,
from art space, to office, to guest room.
Both cabins have air conditioning.
The land is open and spacious offering many options for usage. Fenced, raised garden beds
with greenhouse, garden shed and dedicated water tank, will produce vegies year round, and a
lengthy list of established standard and exotic fruit trees will load your table with sweetness
every season. A terraced herb garden near the house will keep your cooking seasoned, and
flowers everywhere will add colour to your life.

* 3x carports suitable for tractor and caravan
