Amber’s House
Adorable. Affordable.
This adorable and spacious 4 bedroom home (plus studio) was built by hand with loving energy and is designed for family living. It also has much potential to further enhance the space to make it more suitable for the needs of the modern day household, i.e. two couples/singles without children, or an older couple with visiting children and grandchildren.
It’s situated in Wombat Hollow – Moora Moora’s most happening cluster, and backs on to the magnificent forest of Mount Toolebewong.
Built of rammed earth desired for its insulation properties and embedded energy additional home features include an awesome spacious greenhouse with garden beds ready for all year growing and a separate studio. Artistic features include lead light windows, arched feature window looking onto the forest, archway into spiral stairs, brick floors, wood panelling interior.
Features include:
-sun kissed north facing lounge room

-2 additional bedrooms downstairs adjoining the lounge area, one with built in cupboards

-separate toilet
-cellar for preserving food and storing camping gear etc
Energy:
-10 solar panels and a hot water solar system (with potential for greater system opportunities)
-wood stove oven in kitchen with water jacket for hot water
-wood fire in lounge room
-diesel generator
Additional structures and features worth noting:

Garden features:
-awesome greenhouse with garden beds for growing foods with established grape vine for summer shading

The house is built well but is needing a little bit of minor maintenance.
My preference to selling was to find a suitable co-owner to help love the house, invest in it with me and be happy for shared living 3-4 months of the year. However that has not eventuated. I’m still open to this idea with the right kind of no-nonsense person/couple/family with older children. It’s hard for me to be selling as I love this house, the cluster and the community.
Sale price ranges from $175,000 to $199,999. Full purchase in cash is preferred and will sell at the lower end of the range. A deposit plus repayments over a 5 year period is possible with an initial payment of $100,000. Serious buyers who have the means to pay the initial payment and are progressing through the friends/Non-member resident process are welcome to contact me on 0437 388 895. Please text instead of leaving a message if your call goes unanswered.
