Overview
This property offers a distinctive opportunity for those seeking an off-grid lifestyle balanced with convenient access to the amenities of Proston. Nestled on the town's edge, it evokes a sense of tranquility, privacy, and rural charm.
The recently constructed, owner-built dwelling is solid and thoughtfully designed, featuring strong steel framing, insulated walls, and ceilings that ensure comfort throughout the seasons. The substantial 9-foot ceilings, hardwood bearers, and joists set on concrete stumps contribute both to its durability and airy interior atmosphere.
Inside, the home integrates functionality with casual living. The kitchen, equipped with cupboards and an electric oven, flows seamlessly into a spacious lounge area accented by hybrid flooring that combines durability with aesthetic appeal. One of the standout features is the enclosed sunroom. Its push-out windows capture uninterrupted rural vistas of surrounding farmland, creating a peaceful setting to enjoy meals or morning coffee on the timber ledge, fostering a genuine connection with the natural environment.
The bathroom layout promotes convenience and comfort with tiled flooring, a separate shower and bathtub, and a separately positioned toilet, supporting practical living arrangements.
Designed specifically for off-grid living, the property benefits from an advanced solar system consisting of 14 solar panels, five batteries, and an off-grid inverter, complemented by gas hot water and a BioCycle system. While mains power runs past the property offering a potential connection subject to requirements, the existing setup encourages self-sufficiency.
Water management is enhanced with a rainwater tank supported by several 1,000-litre water pods to capture runoff—a beneficial resource for the well-established, low-maintenance landscaped gardens that blend effortlessly with the rural surroundings.
Outdoor living is celebrated with a rustic iron and timber BBQ and entertaining area, ideal for relaxed social gatherings amid the serene landscape. The inclusion of a caravan with its own shower, toilet, annexe, double bed, and kitchen with a working fridge adds versatility, suitable for accommodating visitors or extended family comfortably.
For individuals or couples who appreciate a sustainable, peaceful lifestyle away from the urban bustle yet desire proximity to town conveniences, this property stands out. Its combination of practical off-grid systems, thoughtful design, and rural ambience contributes to a unique living experience in Proston.
