Set on a peaceful, eight-acre slice of Sapphire Coast hinterland, all the hard work has been done at this idyllic rural property to create your own self-sustaining lifestyle.
The property's three-bedroom, two-bathroom home is only six-years old and with absolutely nothing to do, is just waiting for a new family to make it their own. Clad in durable HardiePlank weatherboards, and with a corrugated iron roof, the contemporary-country home is well-suited to its dreamy rural setting. Its elevated position provides unbeatable panoramic views over flat grazing country adjoining the Pambula River and the hinterland in the distance.
The modern, open-plan country-style kitchen has a large island bench, freestanding electric oven with five-burner gas cooktop, dishwasher and a large butler's pantry with loads of storage. There's a large, separate family sitting room with surround-sound ceiling speakers and a handy study nook. The kitchen/dining area opens out onto a large, north-facing entertaining deck which has beautiful all-day sun and stunning views over this peaceful pocket of Lochiel.
The main bedroom suite takes full advantage of the exquisite views with the picturesque pastoral scene greeting you from bed each morning. There's also a modern, well-appointed ensuite and a large walk-in wardrobe. Bedrooms two and three both have double built-in wardrobes, and the large family bathroom has a separate bath and shower as well as a separate toilet.
There's a good-sized laundry off the kitchen and plenty of extra built-in storage throughout the home. There are reverse-cycle air-conditioning units in the lounge and dining rooms, as well as ceiling fans for easy climate control. A unique, free-standing Pacific Energy wood heater in the kitchen/dining area not only efficiently heats the home but also has a cast iron plate on top for slow combustion cooking. And there's plenty of windfall timber for firewood collection from the bushy part of your very own block.
A convenient double garage is connected to the house however there's also a large Colourbond shed with two roller doors and a high carport at one end. The shed is currently used as a fourth bedroom/teenager's retreat but could also easily be a great spot for a boat, caravan or trailer, a creative studio, or, as there's three-phase power connected, it would also make an enviable home mechanic's or handyman's workshop.
The list of high-quality external infrastructure is long, and there are numerous eco-friendly considerations. There are four stock-proof paddocks with animal shelters and water points - perfect for a couple of horses or a few head of goats and sheep like the current owners. There's a fully-fenced house-yard that is safe for dogs and young children and a home security system and solar-operated front security gate operated via keypad or remote. There's a 7.6kw solar system on the shed roof which means power bills are almost non-existent and there are four rainwater tanks, totalling a reassuring 200,000L in water storage.
There's also a filtered septic water irrigation system that waters the established fruit orchard and other trees. There's a chicken coop, a small garden/tool shed and a greenhouse allowing you to grow produce year-round. Utilising permaculture principles, every tree that has been planted has a purpose – whether for food, fodder or pollination, alongside over 100 species of native plants thoughtfully integrated throughout the property. There are citrus trees, avocados, nut trees, wine and table grapevines, as well as numerous raised vegetable garden beds. There's plenty of scope and space to add a swimming pool, or a tiny home for guest accommodation or to generate secondary income should you wish. But with all the hard graft done, it's now simply a matter of maintaining and enjoying the produce you grow and relishing the satisfaction of knowing exactly where it came from.
Properties of this size and with this calibre of infrastructure, less than seven minutes from beautiful Pambula village, don't come along often. Sapphire Cottage Farm provides the privacy, space and freedom for you to live out your country homesteading dream in a tranquil rural setting, just 10 minutes' drive from the beach.
