1 Fairview Lane Candelo NSW 2550

This home is ahead of its time in design and function with clever energy saving advantages. The orientation, double glazed windows and double glazed doors, insulated walls and ceilings, and an insulated underfloor reduce or eliminate the need for auxiliary heating or cooling for most of the year. The 6.4 KW solar panel set up is linked to a 9.9KW LG Chem Battery. This is a hybrid system that feeds the home directly with power, or channels any unused excess power back to the grid.

There are three bedrooms and two bathrooms, plus a multi-purpose space, currently used as a study/office. The master bedroom is located in a private wing with mesmerizingly beautiful mountain and valley views that can be enjoyed while laying in bed. It also has a larger-than-usual ensuite and plenty of space for your clothing with a long spacious walk through robe. The two other bedrooms and the main bathroom are located in an adjacent wing, both bedrooms with large built ins. The two wings are separated by a large outdoor hardwood entertaining deck, measuring 55 sq m, that is accessed from the living areas via a wall of sliding glass doors, that disappear, 'stacker style', to effect a seamless indoor/outdoor living experience.

The kitchen features a state-of-the-art Falcon stove, with double oven & an electric induction cook top, that is complimented by a quality range hood. But the real centre piece is the island bench that qualifies as a stunning work of art in its own right. The bench top is made from cross cut sections of petrified trees sourced from an exotic region somewhere in the Middle East. These petrified wood cuttings have been set into a tough glass-like resin that intensifies the delicate patterns within the piece. This creates a very durable surface as a work space and a piece of art to admire at the same time. In addition, and besides the very ample cupboards and drawers, there is a very handy butler's pantry at one end of the kitchen that leads you to the double lock up garage, with a remotely controlled double garage door and 42 sq m of floor space. From the garage you have direct internal access into the kitchen. Very handy when transferring groceries from your car into the home in all weather conditions.

The open plan living layout makes the most of the steel frame construction that highlights the curved formation of the ceilings that reach 3.75 metres in height at the apex. Two very large symmetrically opposed living rooms are located on either side of the kitchen and dining areas. One is a lounge room, also with lovely views across the rural landscape to the mountains. This leads on to a smaller second deck, measuring 23 sq m, accessed through similar sliding full length stacker glass doors. A double door slow combustion fan-driven wood fire heater is the centrepiece here. Its capacity is 380 sq m. Twinning with the lounge room, at the other end of this floor space, is the aforementioned flexible space, currently serving as a large office/study. However, it might also be used as a dedicated media room or second lounge, if desired.

Other features include plantation shutters throughout the home, a fabulous separate laundry space, featuring full height cupboards with sliding doors and ample bench space. It has its own outer door to a sheltered north facing space for drying. All the bedrooms have fans, as does the open plan space with three fans. There is a sculptural free standing bathtub in the main bathroom, a dedicated workshop space in the close-by 5.4 X 5.4 metre shed with a skillion awning attached (with its own separate 2000 litre tank), a 150,000 litre underground concrete tank for rainwater storage, a Puretec UV Water Filter System, very good fencing around the 8.6 acre block which is divided into two main paddocks, one of the paddocks has a dam and there is a smaller home paddock which makes this area secure for children & animals such as your pets, or horses, alpacas, sheep or goats, plus a bio septic waste system, town power, NBN connected for fixed wireless 4G internet, plus a great solar power set up as previously described.
