Dixon Farm is situated in the quiet, scenic Titaatee Creek Valley, approximately 20km east of Gloucester. The farm was established by the current owners who have created a wonderful passive solar home, set in an elevated position and surrounded by beautiful established gardens and a bountiful orchard. For a small farm of 37 acres, it is highly productive and has something for everyone. Some of the many features of Dixon Farm include:
• The 3/4 bedroom house faces north and delivers a panoramic view of the valley
• Built in 1995 from reconstituted sandstone blocks, the home enjoys a north/south aspect with a highly effective passive solar design
• Open plan living/dining/kitchen with vaulted ceiling, wood fire and full length windows taking in the view
• 3 bedrooms, all with built-in wardrobes, the main with ensuite
• Separate spacious study (or 4th bedroom)
• Family bathroom with separate toilet in the laundry
• Rainwater is collected and stored in 4 tanks giving a supply of 100 000 litres, gravity feed
• Biocycle septic system generates grey water which is stored in the orchard and used for garden water
• 12m x 12m shed divided in two: half for work area and storage with cement floor, half housing 4 vehicles
• The topography is best described as rolling hills with established pasture and fertile brush soils
• Set of steel Cattle yards and large sections of new fencing
• 9.6kw of solar panels on roof of shed
• Well established garden with large orchard, covered vegetable patch and chook run
• NBN satellite for internet connection and WiFi mobile phone
• Great level camping spot fronting Titaatee Creek
• 360 degree views from "Wedding Hill" a short stroll beyond the house
• Stock water from the creek and 3 dams
Whilst this is a reluctant farewell, the owners can reflect on many years of happy memories at Dixon Farm, and take consolation in knowing they will be handing over a special lifestyle experience to the new owners.
