Set in an ancient ampitheatre, is this beautiful solar passive earthen brick 4 bedroom 2 bathroom homestead. Must be seen to appreciate the beauty of this hidden gem.
In winter, the split skillion roof and north facing floor to ceiling and clerestory windows allow the sun rays to warm 250mm thick earthen brick walls during the day, which in turn radiate heat into the house during the night.
In summer, the earthen walls are shaded and the clerestory windows can be opened to release the hot air and create a breeze through the living areas.
The property enjoys a 750ml* rainfall average at an elevation of 650m* above sealevel, and is located only 17km from Coonabarabran the 'Astronomy Capital of Australia'. The Siding Springs Observatory is 16km away and sits at an elevation of 1,150 metres*.
