Quality environmentally-sensitive home
on 30-acre (12ha) sub-tropical mountain top with stunning panoramic ocean
views
Offered FOR SALE directly from owner
Native forest...spectacular Pacific Ocean views...proximity to the surfing beaches of Byron Bay...this secluded 30-acre slice of heaven set on top of an escarpment 500m high above sea level, is 20 minutes from the town of Mullumbimby on Australia's eastern seaboard. It's the highest privately-owned real estate in the region.
A unique property and stunning home - with sensational views
Thirty acres (12ha) of total seclusion, featuring a high quality, architect-designed home in mint condition, built as a labour of love.
This is a breathtakingly beautiful location! It’s so easy to be mesmerised by the ocean and hinterland views from atop the 500-metre escarpment, the surrounding pristine bushland of a national park providing a natural private sanctuary.
Perfect N-E aspect
The home, built as a model of energy efficient passive solar design, boasts a 4.5 star NatHers rating.
It consists of an extended split level slab-on-ground construction (over three levels) with all of the 300+ square metre living areas facing North or North/East, providing a sunny, light-filled environment.
Quality construction throughout
Everything about this contemporary open-plan design home speaks of meticulous planning, solid construction and quality fittings. The walls are solid double brick. Doors and windows are cyclone proof. The doors are solid cedar - not veneer. Ceilings are a minimum of 2700mm in height, and the kitchen is fitted out in Tasmanian oak and stainless steel.
Spacious living and entertaining
A large central living complex - dining, kitchen and sunken living room - 3 generous bedrooms, a huge home office (6mx5m) with broadband, 2 bathrooms, a powder room and 2 additional toilets provide ample space for indoor/outdoor living and entertaining.
Additional facilities include a 20sq.m below-ground cellar, over 90sq.m of under-cover terrace/deck areas, and a double garage (with remote control of course!)
An approved, self-contained studio and associated buildings are situated 200m from the main dwelling...perfect (and private) for friends who refuse to go home.
Environmentally sensitive - and energy independent
Aiming to become carbon-neutral, the house is fully solar-powered by a 240v invertor system, backed up by a heavy duty 9kva diesel generator - so no electricity bills! This technology reliably drives all the facilities and equipment you would expect to find in a contemporary household, including a wireless broadband internet connection, so you're constantly linked to the outer world.
There are 5 landline phone points and a Telstra installed solar-powered radio phone, with wiring set-up to provide TV and radio reception from Qld and NSW. The location provides excellent mobile phone reception.
A bountiful water supply supplements the generous tank water storage (101,000lt) - click to enlarge
Plenty of water!
There's a 101,000lt rainwater roof harvested water supply and a solar hot-water system (don't forget the annual rainfall of 2,300mm), plus a 120,000lt emergency potable water supply.
Privacy - yet conveniently located
The lively town of Mullumbimby, located midway between the property and the tourist mecca of Byron Bay, is a leisurely 20-minute drive away.
