Privately perched at the high point of approximately 14.8 acres sits this eco-passive 'Adobe' mud brick home. With the 'bricks' hand crafted from the property and utilising all recycled leadlight windows, iron bark timbers, etc., this welcoming home oozes charm and character!
For our Highland weather extremes, the main feature of a mud brick home is that it remains cool in the summer and is likewise super insulated in the winter to remain toasty warm when it's freezing outside... once the Aga and slow combustion fireplace have had 30 minutes to heat the home, it stays that way !
What a delight the kitchen !... TWO Aga stoves ensure abundant warmth throughout winter - not to mention the culinary expertise they inspire... and views out the western leadlights across to Pearsons Lane properties.
Northern light to the living area with slow combustion fireplace and the adjacent dining room, both feature quarry tiled floors and French doors to the covered verandah - wrap around all 4 sides!
Both bedrooms boast eastern aspect leadlights also. The cosy bathroom has slate tiled flooring and shower over the bath with timber vanity.
Look out over the established orchard, veggie beds and nearby dam (2 in total on the property) - inclusions are Peach, Apricot, Plum, Pear, Cherries, Nashi trees as well as Mulberries, Lemons and 30+ Apples of differing varieties. Two separately fenced paddocks would suit a pony or two or a handful of sheep or goats. A separate Cedar garden shed is handy for storage or a studio/workroom.
Another feature of this property is the position between an olive farm, a stud farm and deer farm... affording a totally peaceful rural escape!
With the mud brick mould still in the shed, have fun adding to this adobe abode...
