This architecturally designed solar passive home is not just a place to live, but a sanctuary that reflects an eco-conscious lifestyle intertwined with innovation and practicality.
Perfectly located, private yet moments from the heart of the Goulburn CBD, this superb 25 acres / 10 hectares block sets it apart from the rest and enjoys stunning views to the north-east from an elevated position. The land has potential to be subdivided - subject to Council approval.
The house is strategically positioned on the block, tucked below the crest of the hill. There are remarkable views offering panoramic sunsets over the city and surrounding district from the highest point which also overlooks the Wollondilly River.
The solar passive design includes double brick construction throughout with solid brick walls internally, clerestory windows, 2.5-metre-deep verandahs (on the east and south sides) along with double glazed windows throughout. These key elements combine to provide a comfortable year-round temperature range.
Additional climate control is supplied by reverse cycle air conditioning and a woodfire in the main living room.
The primary residence offers 4 generous bedrooms, the main with ensuite and walk-in wardrobe, overlooking the spacious courtyard. The other 3 bedrooms have delightful views and open directly to the patio and lawn on the north side. There is a separate 5th bedroom complete with ensuite bathroom and scope for a small kitchen. This facility is ideal for guests or multigenerational living and given its location it would also be perfect for a home office.
Designed courtyard with plantings, large pebble concrete entertaining area, lawn, timber pergola, bespoke fencing and an attractive stone retaining wall. There are 2 car garages with automatic entry and a double carport adjoining the home along with plenty of parking for additional vehicles. The 12.3 kw solar system is located on the garage roof.
Large, fenced and productive vegetable garden, fruit & ornamental trees plus a large hen run with fabulous hen house.
Excellent storage shed, 6 x 7 metres plus a massive machinery shed and workshop, 9 x 15 metres with high clearance rollers doors and a mezzanine floor. Both sheds have power and concrete floors and there is a carport for caravan storage.
Water is in plentiful supply: - 110,000 litre tank for domestic use which is supported by auxiliary 22,000 litre gravity fed tanks - the machinery shed has a 54,000 litre tank which takes full advantage of that large roof catchment - excellent bore which is 70 metres deep and produces good quality water for irrigating lawns and trees with 4 x 5,000 litre storage tanks.
Here is your opportunity to embrace a solar passive house naturally warm in winter and cool in summer - while living a rural lifestyle a stone throw from town services.
Truly a remarkable property that really must be seen to be fully appreciated
