SOLD – 11 Yornitj Grove, Witchcliffe – Cluster 1A Witchcliffe Ecovillage.

It is a true privilege to sell such a magnificent high-quality home in the unique, sustainable Witchcliffe Ecovillage community. Barely more than a year old, this beautifully appointed 2 bed 2 bath custom home on a 465sqm Cottage lot is a rare opportunity for one lucky buyer to jump into life in the established community of Cluster 1A.

Built by eco-conscious owners who have spared no expense to ensure its sustainability, longevity, and comfort, this passive solar designed, carbon negative home is self-sufficient in rainwater and solar energy.

With 163sqm of interior living space PLUS outdoor rooms, this “little” two-bedroom home is anything but. Spacious and light-filled, it has a flexible activity / office area that facilitates all manner of hobbies, work, or separate living arrangements. American White Oak features prominently in the large kitchen, and open plan dining / living that spills out onto two separate covered alfresco entertaining areas. A landscaped courtyard between the two main volumes of the home facilitates cross-ventilation and natural light and offers yet another protected outdoor room.

  • Welcome :)

  • Looking into the large multi-purpose office space from the hallway.
  • The light-filled flexi room: call it the office, craft, sewing, art, games, music room.
  • The lovely internal landscaped courtyard that facilitates light, ventilation and outdoor views from many rooms of the house.

  • The abundant beauty of this vegetable garden.
  • Hands down the best looking rainwater tank overflow solution in the whole Ecovillage.

Nestled alongside a central footpath that provides open space on the west, the home is flanked by lovingly tended gardens of pure delight and abundance. The magnificent vegie patch on its 115sqm of Exclusive Use Area within the shared community garden is a favourite pitstop on the Ecovillage sales tour. A model garden overflowing with flowers, fruit trees, vegetables and greenery, it is admired (and envied) by all who walk past.
