Living off the grid

Energy efficient and cost effective this 6.1 star home with double glazing on 17 acres or 6.875 hectares demonstrates how to live comfortably and economically with minimal environmental impact.

Open plan and spacious the north facing living, kitchen and dining area is shaded in the summer by the verandah and deck surrounding the house and heated in the winter by the hardworking “Esse Ironheart” combustion stove that also contributes hot water in conjunction with the solar system. The two double bedrooms both have built-in robes and the main is climate controlled by a reverse cycle air conditioner. Located between the bedrooms is the tiled bathroom with a separate shower and full bath. Inside and outside toilets are separate and the primary waste water filter is a worm farm.

The shedding is exceptional and includes a six by six metre carport, nine by seven metre shed on slab with power and combustion heater, nine by six metre garage on slab with power and workbench and an eleven by nine open machinery shed.

Rain water is stored in two 104,500 litre Rhino tanks and town water passes the property if required. Solar panels generate 4.35Kw backed by an 8Kw diesel generator storing power in a bank of lead acid batteries (48V supply, each battery 2x2Vcellx1660Ah), two pressure pumps, NBN connected and a dam.
