Nestled amidst five acres of nature sits this charming light-filled
two-bedroom, two-storey, hardwood timber eco home with a separate guest cabin. Situated within Lillifield, a multiple occupancy community in the Northern Rivers, complete with its own hall for events. Lillifield is strictly dog and cat free.

The house is fully off-grid and with established gardens, a veggie patch, fruit trees and surrounded by forest, it is an absolute retreat. Recently renovated (including wiring) with eco products, it offers a mix of rustic and modern open-plan design. The featured stonework and generous use of timber creates a natural feel.

The country-style kitchen is well appointed with granite worktops, a large pantry and a dishwasher. The stunning stone inglenook houses a wood-stove with a bakers oven and wet-back, for heating water in winter. With a north-easterly aspect and opening onto a covered deck, the kitchen is light-filled during the winter mornings and afternoons.

With its elevated position, the deck overlooks a tropical garden and the vista stretches over the treetops with glimpses of Blue Knob across the valley. A peaceful place to relax and observe the abundant wildlife (pademelons included).

The light-filled living room has two large windows with views across the treetops, with a second wood-fire for the winter months and ample space for sofas, a large dining table and office nook. The hardwood flooring, charming timber staircase and character vintage doors enrich the living space.

Off the living room is the downstairs bedroom which features a stone wall and French doors leading out to the sun-filled back deck. The master bedroom is a beautiful loft-style room situated upstairs with a large walk-in wardrobe with linen shelves plus a separate storage cupboard doubling as an additional wardrobe. The timber floor and beams create a rustic feel. This open-plan space also has the potential for conversion into two rooms.

The hallway offers an alternative entrance direct from the back deck. The bathroom is luxurious with an antique cast-iron claw-foot bath from which you will enjoy rainforest views through large French doors and floor-to-ceiling sash windows. The easy-access shower includes a rainfall and hand-held showerhead and the vanity, custom-made from vintage drawers with a ceramic basin, is framed by beautiful glass light pendants. The hallway also provides access to a well-appointed and brand new, Clivus Multrum waterless composting toilet. There is also a separate laundry with custom-made sink unit, handmade tiles, a washing machine and space for a dryer (above counter).

The external hardwood cladding has been treated with two coats of an eco non-VOC product. Internal floors treated with Livos brand eco floor oil. Internal walls painted with eco non-toxic paint.

In addition to the main house, this property offers a separate single-room cabin with wooden floors and a veranda providing an additional guest bedroom or art studio overlooking the fruit trees (citrus, mango and olive). At the back of the cabin is the carport accessed from the driveway, which has ample parking space for at least 3 cars. A stepping stone path leads from the carport to the home's entrance, winding past lush gardens and the lemon tree.

There is also a stand-alone fire-deck not far from the house entrance, which is currently set up with a wood-fired hot-tub for those star filled evenings.

To the south of the house is a fenced veggie patch with a netted veggie tunnel and there is potential to connect to the nearby community dam for additional water supply. The surrounding forest provides all your firewood needs.

THE SOLAR SYSTEM: It’s a solid, one-year-old, Victron system with a 5 kw inverter, 10 kw hours of lithium ion batteries and 3.6 kw PV ARRAY, panels.
Note: This system allows you the worry-free bonus of using an electric kettle, toaster, big screen TV and even air-con if desired. Plus, with the large inverter, you can run your dishwasher and washing machine at the same time.

HOT WATER: A 4-year-old Bosch gas water heater.

POOL & WORKSPACE: There is currently a non-compliant above-ground pool which can be dismantled, but it is a joy over summer as the sun hits it all day. Opposite the pool is a new workspace recently created under the house, perfect for any hobbies and art projects.
