Bunburung – A well-established property close to Canberra with a North-facing solar passive homestead, nestled in the regional Ngunawal landscape. A haven for nature and the potential for a peaceful, self-sufficient life.
This 19.8 acre / 8ha property has a solid brick comfortable home that is light, warm and welcoming with plenty of potential to put your own stamp on it. This homestead was built on the original property that was owned by the Rovere family.
Key features and benefits
Warm - a solar passive North-facing aspect complemented by excellent insulation that keeps the house really comfortable (between 18C-22C) most of the year around.
The slab floor throughout facilitates the solar passive design; provides easy access to the house and also keeps wildlife out.
Generous space - All the rooms are well sized and feel spacious, with an equally large amount of storage inside the house and outside.
Light - Beautifully light with above average ceiling height and floor length windows and glass doors in nearly every room in the house, including the sunroom.
Water - abundant supply with 110,000 litre concrete rainwater tank that is plumbed into the house. Outdoor water is supplied by the 40m deep bore and there are two dams, one at each end of the property.
Safe – A well-sited house on a small knoll, which will never flood or impede access, which is from a secure, short driveway from a fully paved road.
Accessible- the entire property is easy to access with vehicles and on-foot, which is important for maintenance and any other projects such as building or growing.
Established garden beds with a mix of flowers, herbs and bushes around the house that either have piped irrigation or are close to outdoor taps for easy watering.
Pasture and trees - The land itself consists mostly of paddocks with pasture, which has great potential for growing. Mature established trees dot the property- a mix of natives and pine trees.
Fenced - The property boundary is fully fenced.
Dual occupancy – potential for dual occupancy.
