Overview

This distinctive off-grid home at 2/278 Mulvena Road, nestled within the Mackellar Range Trust community, offers a rare blend of privacy, nature, and communal living embraced for over five decades. Ideal for those seeking a lifestyle harmonizing environmental consciousness with serene surroundings, this property is situated on a substantial approximate 5-acre share amidst 550 acres of carefully cared-for land.

Elevated and north-facing, the cedar and brick residence maximizes natural elements: winter sunlight floods living spaces, while timber shutters enable the gentle passage of summer breezes. The home's warm atmosphere is enriched by polished timber floors, high ceilings, and a large Nectre wood fire with an integrated oven, creating both comfort and character throughout the living areas.

Internally, the design encourages versatile use of space. The main bedroom provides comfortable accommodation, supplemented by two flexible sleep-outs currently arranged as a second bedroom and office. These spaces are adaptable to guests, hobbies, or work-from-home needs. Complementing this is a 15m² external studio/loft, offering inspiring possibilities as an artist's studio, additional office, or guest quarters. A small deck extends the living experience outdoors, providing tranquil vantage points to appreciate the expansive bushland and valley views towards Wollumbin (Mount Warning).

The grounds feature established fruit trees, vines, and flowering gardens that draw diverse wildlife, including wallabies, koalas, and native bird species. Support facilities such as a workshop, carport, dam, and proximity to Boundary Creek further enrich the property’s functionality and rural charm.

Living costs in this community are managed affordably through monthly levies covering communal expenses like rates, insurance, and maintenance, while individual owners handle site upkeep and personal resource management. Participation in community activities and maintenance is part of the ethos here, with monthly levies adjusted according to involvement.

Prospective residents should be aware that this cooperative lifestyle expects active involvement from its 17 shareholders and prohibits pets to maintain its ecological values. The sale is available only to cash buyers, reflecting the unique ownership model of this off-grid community.
