Paradise Completely Off The Grid!

    We can say with full confidence that we have never come across an off the Grid' set up this impressive, and what a property! Set amongst 68 acres of the most spectacular forest with one km of your own private river frontage and a plethora of walking tracks across your property this is a nature lovers paradise.

    Within this private oasis a secure compound has been created that has an electrified vermin and rodent proof fence to protect the stunning landscaped gardens and vegetable garden and eliminate the need to use harmful sprays, which have not been used for more than 10 years. Irrigating the garden is controlled by a Rainbird system, Hunter sprinklers and Davey Torrium pump connected to 21,000 of fresh creek water stored in two tanks supplied from the all year round creek.
    The house water is from 82,000 litres of fresh rainwater and heated by solar evacuated tube and Rayburn wetback. Ahhh Rayburn!

    Step inside the captivating 3 bedroom rustic house and you are greeted with a surprising spacious open plan kitchen living dining area all built around a bespoke staircase which leads to the second level bedrooms. This area is heated by a freestanding wood heater and the kitchen also has the original Rayburn combustion Stove (YES, a Rayburn!) for heat and cooking as well as a chef gas cooker.

    The large bathroom has a deep bath you will want to soak in for hours plus a separate shower, toilet and vanity.

    Take in views across the forest from all three bedrooms. The master bedroom downstairs features a separate dressing room off it which lends itself to an ensuite conversion (STCA) and the two bedrooms upstairs feature BIR. Between the two upstairs bedrooms sits a landing currently used as a office. Every wanted to write a book? You don't find much more tranquillity than looking out from this space.

    A large elevated deck area runs off the open plan kitchen living dining that again, no photo can really do justice to the beauty of the forest views or landscaped gardens of the compound area below. It has to be seen in person to appreciate how unique it is.

    The fault of most off the grid' systems is you have to unplug your fridge to run the kettle. Not here, run the coffee machine as well if you like! There is enough solar to run everything simultaneously and then some. Power is supplied by a German SMA 5 KW system incorporating 24 x 2 volt 1109 ampere hour batteries. Backed up by a quiet Honda 6 KVA generator/inverter

    Outbuildings include a garage/ workshop (7 x 10 mt) with attached carport with power connected, wood storage sheds and glasshouse.

    Located 15 km from Scottsdale, the services hub of the NE of Tassie, 77 km from Launceston and 30 km from Derby, home to the Blue Derby Mountain bike trails.

    If your looking for a truly unique tree change with room to move then don't let this rare offering pass you by.
