The spacious 4 bed, 2 bath residence was built in 2005 with thermal insulation in all walls and ceilings for energy efficiency. Thermal glass windows are positioned to capture the views and ensure the flow of natural light and mountain breezes. There is a combustion fire in the open plan living area and ample timber to heat the fireplace and fuel bonfires at winter get togethers.
There is nothing better than sitting by open coals under a chandelier of stars, cooking a masterpeice for friends and family in the camp oven. Gas heating and airconditioning are also features of the home.
Power for the property is supplied by a state-of-the-art battery system which was installed in April 2021. Cooking and hot water is powered by gas.
