The kitchen has silky oak cabinetry and pantry with a new 6 burner gas/electric Ilve freestanding stove. All of the bedrooms are carpeted, two with builtins and fans but all have their own access to the verandah. The home has been designed environmentally friendly with breezeways and louvres and facing north to minimise heating and cooling. There is combustion wood fire for the colder months and a 10m fibreglass inground pool for summer. The home also has solar hot water and gas hotwater.

The property has been planted with food trees of all descriptions including stone fruit, citrus, nut trees, coffee plantation, bananas, just to name a few.

The jewel in the crown of this property is the 550 year old fig tree that oversees the property and is a haven of wildlife. The bird life is unique with yellow robins, bell birds, wompoo fruit doves, azure kingfishers and even the Regents Bowerbird. There are stairs of crows nests and staghorns growing up either side of the tree with orchids hanging from its branches.

The property was originally set up with a stand alone power system which could easily be reconnected to house as there is a battery charger, inverter and solar panels. The irrigation tanks supply the toilet and gardens are gravity fed, the irrigation pipes still run to most of the property. The rear of the property has been recently cleared to reveal more acres of fertile soil. All of the hard work has been done.
