5-Acre Sanctuary: Rainforest, Wildlife, Tranquillity!

This charming custom-built cavity brick home tucked away on a five-acre block shrouded by majestic rainforest in a quiet no-through road, offers the most blissful of leafy settings nestled amongst the trees with the most resplendent verdant outlook from every room, and a warm, calming ambience that soothes the soul and nourishes the spirit.

The home itself, circa 1981, has been built to the very highest of standards, maximising its position on the block as well as embracing eco-friendly principles including passive climate control.

Across two levels it comprises four bedrooms, two bathrooms, Tasmanian Oak kitchen, separate living areas, fully screened deck with breathtaking rainforest vista, cosy front porch, large laundry/utility room, and double lock up garage (tandem) with huge workshop/storage space – the floor plan facilitates dual occupancy with self-contained living quarters on the lower level, which could suit extended family or create income stream via rental.

Boxwood polished floors and slate flooring, oversized sash windows, slow combustion wood fireplace, split system air-conditioning, ceiling fans, stone benches in kitchen, ‘Breeze Power’ cooling system, solar hot water, full insect screening, and stunning leadlight window panels at entry made by local artisan – are all features of note that enhance overall appeal, value, and impact.

As truly gorgeous and special as the home is, it is the glorious surrounds that really take this property to the next level. Registered as ‘Land for Wildlife’ it is home to a plethora of species including the endangered Richmond Birdwing Butterfly and Grey Goshawk; approximately 82-varieties of bird life have been identified in and amongst the trees, along with goannas, black faced wallabies, and bearded dragons – there are also heritage-listed trees amongst the forest. As you gently meander along the walking trails, you may want to have the camera ready; it’s an ecological kaleidoscope of all things bright and beautiful.

Immediately around the home is a cottage style garden with flat grassy space for children and pets to play, along with a collection of fruit trees, additional parking including new caravan-port and visitor bay. The rest of the property looks after itself, with two dams supplying abundant water for irrigation, along with an underground 63,000-litre tank supplying the house (town water back up).

This is an idyllic pocket of rainforest paradise – an enchanting oasis, beautiful almost beyond description – that has only ever had two owners since built; come and experience the magic for yourself, and you’ll see why this one’s a keeper!
