Situated in the sought after address of Budawang, only a short distance from the quiet and creative hamlet of Mongarlowe and 15 minutes (approx.) from historic Braidwood, sits this striking eco-retreat bordered by Monga State Conservation Area and the pristine Mongarlowe River. Set on 16.41 acres (6.64 ha approx.) of forest bushland including remnant snow gums, this property offers the uninterrupted sounds of nature from the rustle of the swaying treetops, diverse bird calls, the frog chorus at dusk and the soothing gurgle of the river; this special property offers buyers a rare opportunity to indulge in a nature bath every day and a dark sky Milky Way wonder by night.
THE HOUSE features soaring ceilings and open plan living with large windows to enjoy the views of the bushland. There is a spacious bedroom on the ground level with adjacent modern bathroom and upstairs there is a generous bedroom for those who like to live among the treetops plus a balcony; a perfect spot to relax and listen to the river.
THE LAND is 16.41 acres (6.64 HA*) of forest bushland teeming with flora and fauna including shy platypus, swamp and redneck wallabies, lyre birds, tawny frog mouth, rare robins, native orchids and iris just to name a few. The land has been protected through conservation zoning together with thoughtful management by the current and previous owners to ensure that nature remains untouched. There is only a short stroll from the home to the Platypus pond section of the river and the 'Look Out' never fails to soothe as you sit on the viewing bench and take in the natural sounds. The river offers long wide stretches and deep cool ponds, perfect for swimming and exploring. A particular highlight of this amazing property is the 'Chinese Walls' a man-made stone water race that was constructed in the mid 1800's when the Mongarlowe area was part of the pioneering 'Gold Rush' which founded parts of the Braidwood region.
SHEDDING consists of double garage 12m x 6m (approx.) with home office / guest room at the rear plus a double tandem carport which could be converted to an art studio.
OTHER FEATURES include large veggie patch with orchard, combustion fireplace, electricity grid connected as well as 3kw of solar, solar hot water, 60,000l rainwater tanks, satellite internet and mobile reception.
