The Home
Built from an architects design with walls of mud bricks sourced locally, the house was positioned to promote light and warmth in winter and coolness with shade in summer.
Building materials - exposed timber and ceramic tiles throughout compliment this choice. Approximately 50% of the 130 square metres make up a living space of entrance, sitting area, dinning area and generous kitchen.
Laundry, bathroom and three bedrooms comprise the rest.

Surrounds
The community centre of a small historic settlement is adjacent to the property which, overlooks two cleared paddocks, 3 to 4 acres, of former orchards. The wider property extends to forest and creek-bed of Savana creek to the South.

Sustainability
Domestic water is from stored rain fall; garden water is from ecologically treated grey water. Firewood for a substantial wood stove is sourced on the property.

Outdoors
Sheltered from the house and alongside the drive is a shed of 6 m x 4.5 m. This contains a lined room looking onto a courtyard enclosed by a flowering vine. Other delightful entertaining areas are located in shady areas with superb views to the South. Kangaroos, koalas and a rich birdlife are visitors to the house environs.

Marble Creek Sanctuary
Leading to the creek bed of Savana Creek are 50 acres of pristine hills and forest, mainly of Stringy Bark, Eucalypt and a Blackwood plantation. The area is fully accessible by fire tracks and other walking/four wheel drive tracks. The area is known as Marble Creek Sanctuary and protects a range of threatened wild fauna and rare flora, including rare ferns which thrive in the micro climate of the creek bed. The local council maintains fire tracks while substantial grants originating from government have been made to reduce weed invasions.
