16 Cycad Place, Flaxton, Qld 4560

This uniquely designed home has been created to capture the glory of this wonderfully peaceful location. It is now time for a new owner to experience and fall in love with all that this property An architect's own home designed and built with an attention to detail rarely seen, surrounded by almost 3 acres of low maintenance primarily native garden with adjoining 11 acres of old growth rainforest. The setting is both serene and peaceful.
 
Zincalume custom orb sheeting has been used to clad all external walls and roofs, chosen for its aesthetics and low maintenance. External timbers are clear finished ironbark with tallowwood decking, both sourced from the local mill at North Arm. Internal floors in the home are black butt from the same mill, and pitched ceilings are silver ash veneer.
 
The home has been designed to fit seamlessly into the natural environment, with a generous amount of glazing allowing natural light to enter all rooms. Wall and roof insulation gives the house a 6 star energy rating, which coupled with cross ventilation provided by louvre windows and large screened opening doors, maintains a cool living space in summer and in winter traps in heat from a wood burning heater and air conditioning.
 
All bedrooms and living space open onto decks to the north. The generous main deck overlooks a large natural dam with waterfall. The home is entered on the southern side across a smaller pond also with its own waterfall. The dining room opens directly onto this entrance pond with bifold doors, bringing the outside in.
 
A short distance from the house is a studio/granny flat, built in the same vernacular with Zincalume custom orb sheeting and hardwood external structure. It also has a northerly aspect, is self-contained with an open plan layout and full length deck. It is nestled against the edge of the rainforest and has privacy from the house but is just a short distance away, making it ideal for a teenager's retreat, an elderly parent, a home based business or short term rental accommodation.
 
Additional infrastructure includes a 10M x 9.9M workshop and store with 3 phase power, a 17M x 6.5M shed, double carport with store to the rear, covered tractor and mower storage, woodshed, chook house and fenced in run, shade house, bore producing 1000L/day of potable water, 5.5 kW solar power system, Eco-Safe onsite waste water treatment and disposal. The house is wired with an external caravan style 15 Amp power connector and a 3kW generator can power the whole house during a power outage.
 
The surrounding gardens are primarily native plantings around red cedars and 50 year old avocado trees producing a large harvest each year. The prolific vegetable and fruit tree garden takes advantage of the fertile red volcanic soils in which anything grows.
 
The rainforest requires no ongoing maintenance other than the occasional weeding along the edge where it merges with garden planting. It is home to towering strangler figs, massive staghorn ferns and a myriad of birds.
