Located less than 5 minutes drive from the charming village of Wakefield and 15 minutes from Richmond, we find 294 Pigeon Valley Rd. In an elevated and private setting with a view down to the Richmond Ranges but set on mostly flat land, this unique property offers a main dwelling, a permitted second dwelling where you can work from home, or rent out for extra income, or set up for a family member. Take advantage of this rare opportunity to benefit from a house that is warm in winter and cool in summer through passive heating principles, whilst reducing your living expenses.
- Passive solar architecturally designed home (double glazing, trombe walls and internal adobe wall)
- In winter, a log burner warms the home, and the wetback heats the water. The 6 kW grid connected solar system powers the main home and the second permitted dwelling, cuts bills, and feeds surplus back to the grid. Power bills for the past year amounted to $113 total!
- Set on an elevated hectare with gentle contours and mountain views.
- The heart of the gorgeous home is undoubtedly the spacious open-plan kitchen, dining and living area, designed for easy family living, with a dual aspect – back to the hills or north to the thoughtfully designed landscaped decks and board walks.
- The second dwelling consists of a living and kitchen area, one bedroom plus a mezzanine, toilet and shower, utility space and a double garage and can be used as a separate Work from Home premises away from the main house or for extra income. The rental guide for the second dwelling is $450-$500/week generating $23,000 per year off-setting a mortgage of approx $300,000
- A separate, enclosed 3 bay shed offers you lots of other options!
- Beautiful established trees, organic orchard (apples, blue berries, chestnuts, feijoas, hazelnuts, pears, nashi and plums,) a glass house and a paddock make up the balance of the hectare.
