If you want to get away from the city and really get back to nature then this rustic little log cabin on 97 acres might be just perfect for you. It would be ideal as a weekender. The setting is very private and picturesque, and being a trust for nature property with a wildlife corridor, means that there is always an abundance of native animals and birds to watch, while you enjoy the peaceful surroundings.

It creates an ideal atmosphere for someone who just wants real break from suburbia, or someone who wants to reconnect with nature.

While the kitchen has timber benchtops and a Thermalux combustion stove with a water jacket, which is ideal for creating succulent meals and perfect for providing extra warmth in winter, it also has all of mod cons including a gas upright stove and a dishwasher.

The second bedroom or spare room has a built-in robe, while the main bedroom, in the split level part of the house, next to the 4 piece bathroom, has French doors to the verandah, so that you can wake up Banksia Roses and a gracious Oak.

The Verandah which wraps around three sides of the house, has a European laundry at the back door, and the topography of the site creates a balcony on the front, with a simply beautiful outlook. Other noteworthy attributes are a functional outside toilet, though there is one in the bathroom, and a 12 battery standalone solar system.

Outbuildings include a safety bunker which doubles as a very effective wine cellar, and a colorbond double garage with an office and a storeroom at one end, as well as 2 X 20' shipping containers. There are four tanks with a capacity of 70,000 L for the provision of drinking water plus one header tank with dam water plus a reserve tank. There are also two picturesque dams.

The adjoining forest is home to Powerful Owls, there have been kookaburras who have come to visit on the balcony, and you will have Echinda's around the home when the season is right.
