This warm and inviting home in Prebbleton's Sterling Park sets the standard for comfortable, sustainable living, from its solar power performance to its remarkably productive gardens.
Built in 2013 by Peter Ray Homes, the adapted design trades the original three-bedroom layout for two larger bedrooms and living areas, with versatility to convert the second living into guest accommodation if required.
A spacious modern kitchen, complete with walk-in pantry, anchors the welcoming open-plan dining and living zone where a window seat frames garden views. Sheltered beneath an Archgola, the outdoor kitchen and living/dining space opens from the bi-folds, pairing a family-sized spa with room for year-round entertaining.
Of the home's two bathrooms, one belongs to the generous master, also with a walk-in wardrobe. This bedroom also opens directly to the outdoor spa pool and living/dining area.
Seasonal comfort is delivered by an eco-wood burner, gas fire, and two heat pumps, while extensive storage solutions ensure every necessity finds its place.
Sustainability is central to this property, underpinned by a Tesla solar system (installed May 2022) with 26 high-output panels.
The well-planned garden is a model of self-sufficiency, featuring a manageable orchard of fruit and nut trees, productive vegetable gardens, berry plantings and herbs, two tunnel houses, and the whole garden benefiting from automated irrigation, including rainwater harvesting systems.
Potting sheds and composting stations, a home distilling set-up and multiple storage sheds enhance its productive capability, while two hens (Shirley and Mrs C.) in an enclosed run, provide fresh eggs.
Vehicle storage extends beyond the internal-access double garage, with a second Archgola carport offering added covered capacity.
Privately set at the end of a cul-de-sac, this home enjoys a genuine sense of community, all while keeping the city's conveniences and airport run within easy reach.
From energy efficiency to food production, every element has been crafted to optimize home-comforts and reduce environmental impact, while maximising year-round enjoyment and self-sufficiency.
