This lovely house was built in the old-fashioned way - thick walls, real wood. It gives the impression that it has been standing a long time. It has character and an ambiance that cannot be attained using modern materials.
Terramia was built to give its owners a feeling of belonging – of being connected to the history of place. This house has the aura of Montsalvat and the charm of Arthur Boyd's Bundanon. The garden walls have moss and lichen, and the fish pond huge gold fish that hide in its depths. The wetland area over the septic lines teams with wild waterbirds including the rare and elusive Lewin's Rail.
Terramia boasts an amazingly productive vegie garden and lots of really practical extras like three-phase power, and more than enough outdoor taps and power points. There is a huge underground water tank as well as town water. The area underneath the house is clean and well lit, with power available. Hydronic floor heating could easily be added as the house is already fully plumbed for its installation. The wood fired oven in the kitchen augments the hot water system.
Everything at Terramia is bespoke beauty in a quiet way. There are wonderful sheds, but none of them the shiny zincalume scars they so often are. Inside the house, please notice the antique Australian cedar doors and the handmade kitchen and the French doors and windows. Also the Count Rumford fireplace and LaCanche stove.
