"Six Gums" Elands - a Mountain Lodge, with landing strip.

New to market, a stunning, log house hobby farm or weekender with a light plane landing strip, X factor design features and a creek that's never run dry!

Established on 6.56 ha with approximately 10 acres cleared. The balance is native forest regrowth that can be cleared if desired. Located less than 2 klms from the tourist icon of Ellenborough Falls it is just 45 minutes from Wingham. If you are a pilot the options are much quicker and more fun😊

This property has real personality. Visually, before you step inside, there is the aircraft landing strip sweeping away to the south, and then the hexagonal 360-degree observation room roof feature catches the eye, you will likely not notice the tiered or terraced symmetrical contour that wraps around the air strip, so reminiscent of a Sri Lankan tea plantation. The soil is bursting with fertility and these established terraces are pregnant with potential to grow stuff utilising the freshwater spring bubbling with life nearby and so essential to sustainable production.

Built from an Alaskan sourced, log house plan, by a "fly in fly out" hobby pilot owner, the building was an unfinished symphony that our vendor came across and was inspired to complete.

The finished product is a creatively renovated, solid and sound, earthy weekender. It is built with locally milled, solid native hardwood timber log walls with classic log home "notched corners". It is structurally and visually enhanced with bearers, beams. rafters and purlins of various native timbers of every colour. Remarkably, only natural materials and oils have been applied (no paint or plastic). The interior is literally "visually liberating". Individual artistic expression has been unleashed. The décor is punctuated with functional items of copper, brass, glass, recycled Spanish roof slate and beaten historic iron all pulled into harmony by glorious slabs of locally hewn recycled and polished native timber.

The overall effect is very unique and exceptionally pleasing to the eye.

2 expansive bedrooms, both ensuited, are centrally situated and reflect a freeform style that's at the very heart of the building and radiates into the living area, which is open plan reflecting the natural utilitarian and casual impact so central to our vendors personal taste. The variety of natural timbers in play create a warm canopy effect exuding earthy conviviality.

With verandas and balconies that flow seamlessly too all points of the compass especially front and rear there are expansive views available from what is a superior block with an elevated but easy location, one can enjoy distant mountains and shimmering evening sunsets.

The interior is full insulated and an efficient and powerful wood burner easily provides heat when required,

The property is purposefully established off grid, notwithstanding on grid options of power are very handy. It has a state of the art 8 kilowatt solar power system with brand new lithium batteries and hot water system feeding energy to brand new wiring and plumbing. This infrastructure is established in the large useful basement with concrete floors perfect for storage workshop or other purposes including if desired additional accommodation.

In addition there is a near new large barn style shed and carport with concrete floors and power.
Tank water (two tanks total 45,000 lts) is supplied from the shed roof and there is a septic sewer system. The property itself is water secure. Apart from having a significant natural spring which is a huge bonus for any horticulture activity or hobby farm plans it has the legendary Brinawa Creek (which has never been known to run dry) on the Southern Boundary. This is easily accessed, and has a large clear pond perfect for family recreational use in hot summers.
