There's something about this place
Living here, you soon discover you have a place for almost every mood.
Where you choose to spend your time brings a different feeling and a different experience. Inside, outside, under cover or beneath the trees. Morning sun, afternoon shade, colour, birds, fruit, garden, view. There is somewhere here for whatever sort of day you happen to be having.
It feels, in a peculiar way, a little like being on a lifelong holiday.
This is a home that manages to be complex and easy at exactly the same time. There is much to discover, but very little you need to do to enjoy it.
The current owner has affectionately called it her "Million Dollar Bach" - not because it is grand or pretentious, but because it has given her the sort of life people normally have to go away to find.
And perhaps that is the simplest way to explain this place.
If you have been looking for a home with energy, personality and the promise of a contented life, you may have just found it.
Property Features
• Two bedrooms plus a separate studio/library/hobby room
• Updated bathroom
• Two covered outdoor dining areas
• Beautiful, far-reaching views
• Established organic garden
• An extraordinary collection of mature fruiting trees and plants
• Airstream may be available by negotiation
• Furnishings may also be available by negotiation
The Garden
This is not a decorative garden created simply to be looked at.
It is an organic, productive garden, built in part using 'Hugelkultur' - literally "mound culture" - where decaying wood, leaves, compost and other organic material form raised growing beds designed to improve fertility, retain water and warm the soil.
The Trees
Cherry. Lemon. Damson plum. Nectarine. Two olives. Feijoas in abundance. Figs in abundance. Black Boy peaches in abundance. Golden peach. Medlar. Crab apple. Grapes in abundance. And another plum whose name, rather wonderfully, the owner can no longer remember.
A garden you can wander through, eat from, sit beneath and continue to make your own.
This will not be everybody's house.
It was never supposed to be.
