Description

Created as a true permaculture farm over 20 years ago and faithfully guided by the 12 Principles of Permaculture, this remarkable 8 acre property is a thriving example of sustainable living at its finest.
Positioned on an elevated ridge along the eastern side of Stony Chute Road, the gently sloping land has been carefully designed with wide terraced swales that direct water throughout the property and into two picturesque dams. The mature food forest is now flourishing, providing an abundance of produce and creating a self-sustaining lifestyle opportunity for the eco-conscious buyer.

Key features of the land include:
• Approx. 130 Davidson Plum trees
• Approx. 200 Lemon Myrtle trees with commercial scale potential
• Extensive variety of fruit, nut, herb and food producing plants
• Large irrigated vegetable and herb gardens
• Established poultry infrastructure
• Two attractive dams connected by an extensive swale system
• Easy maintenance with ride-on mower access across most of the property
• Off-grid living with strong sustainability credentials

As the food forest has matured, some of the property's spectacular views toward the Border Ranges and ancient Caldera have become partially screened. However, selective trimming of a small number of trees could readily restore these breathtaking vistas.
A Warm and Inviting Timber Home

Overlooking the productive landscape, the thoughtfully designed timber residence embraces indoor-outdoor living and a strong connection to nature.

Wildlife thrives here, with colourful birdlife regularly visiting the suspended deck feeders and native fauna abundant throughout the property.
Offering privacy, productivity, sustainability and the potential to once again capture magnificent mountain and caldera views, this is a rare opportunity to secure a mature permaculture haven in a highly sought after location.
