Turn off the beaten track, turn off from daily life - Go off grid!
This architectural masterpiece of offgrid living still has all the mod cons, including wifi! Featuring 4 bedrooms and a fully equipped kitchen set amongst untouched bush land above the famous Myponga Beach.
One queen sized bedroom, along with two single bedrooms PLUS one loft style queen sleeping space will accommodate a family or a group of friends. The home includes a bathroom running of pure (ozone filtered) rain water.
The kitchen includes a coffee maker, dishwasher and oven/stove top. The laundry includes a washing machine.
A slow combustion heater is the centre piece in the large open living space, with views out to the bush. Sit back and watch the wildlife go by. Enjoy the passive solar design of the home - meaning its construction and orientation mean that air conditioning is not required, cross ventilation and thermal insulation do all the work!
The home is situated in bush land, with trees all around - really making you feel like you are a world away from civilization, but you are only 10 mins from the trendy town of Myponga, and 5 min (drive) away from the famous and picturesque Myponga Beach.
Myponga Reservoir is now open for recreation, bring along your kayak or walking boots for hours of exploration. Myponga township boasts markets, Valley of Yore (cafe) and famous Smiling Samyod Brewery.
