Not just a home, a deliberate lifestyle

Set on just over two hectares (approx.) at the very end of a private access road, this Lake Lands property offers a level of independence, privacy and connection to nature that is becoming increasingly hard to find.

Elevated for sun and outlook, the three-bedroom home is thoughtfully designed for comfort and efficiency. Open plan kitchen, dining and living spaces sit at the heart of the home, anchored by a fireplace and framed by tranquil bush views that change with the seasons.

Open it up and indoor living flows seamlessly to an extensive deck, perfect for morning sunrises, long lunches, evening gatherings around the pizza oven or simply following the sun throughout the day.

A fully fenced above ground pool adds another layer of lifestyle, ideally positioned for summer enjoyment.

The master suite features a walk-in wardrobe, its own powder room and Jack and Jill access to the main bathroom. The main modern bathroom is generous in scale and finished with a luxurious oversized shower.

Purpose built as a off-grid residence, the property is powered by a 3.6kw (approx.) solar system with gas hot water and cooking, supported by a backup petrol generator for peace of mind. Buyers will live smart here, enjoying modern comforts while harnessing renewable energy, keeping running costs low and making every watt count. While three 25,000 litre (approx.) water tanks comfortably service the dwellings, keeping running costs low and independence high.

What truly sets this property apart is its versatility. Multiple ancillary structures plus a cabin, caravans, storage containers and several garden sheds, offering flexibility, storage or creative space.

Ample off-street parking makes this an ideal option for sustainable lifestyle buyers with toys and tools.

As part of an established eco project, all subdivisions are off grid with no future connection to mains services, preserving the integrity, sustainability and long-term value of the community.

With private water access for kayaking, stunning bush surrounds and a genuine sense of retreat, this is a rare opportunity for buyers seeking a self-sufficient rural lifestyle right near the magnificent McLaren Falls.

The vendors are extremely motivated and this property must sell.
Weekly open homes are available and this is one you will want to experience in person.
