Tucked away for privacy and quiet, 101 Tararu Road is more than just a home - it offers a true sustainable lifestyle. From the moment you arrive, you're surrounded by nature's bounty: banana palms, a wide variety of fruit trees, and brick, raised vegetable gardens delivering fresh produce year-round. There are two sizeable, securely fenced yards for young children, the family dog, or your own free-range chickens.
For those who love to cook, the chef's kitchen is a true standout. Native timber floors blend beautifully with custom cabinetry and granite benchtops. A large Italian gas hob/electric oven and Thermalux wood-fired cook-stove are perfect for turning your garden harvests into irresistible home cooking.
Inside this sanctuary are three double bedrooms offering flexibility, with one currently set up as a cozy media or reading retreat. The sun-drenched master includes a generous wardrobe, and the bathroom features a wet-floor shower and rain head for daily luxury.
Comfort is year-round with two heat pumps in the house, another in the sleepout, and a separate working fireplace in the lounge for cozy winter evenings. A fully lined and alarmed garage conversion is ideal as a home office or creative studio.
Step through the lounge to the sheltered courtyard with a brick pizza oven - perfect for relaxed evenings with friends under the stars. A robust 5.25kW solar system with 21 grid-tied panels powers the home, selling excess energy back to the grid. The wood stove with wetback adds efficient heating and hot water options.
Spring has now arrived in this garden! Hyacinths are popping up, gardenias and roses are just starting to bud, while kiwi fruit, avocados, navel oranges, lemons, and limes are all beginning to ripen. Lettuces, herbs, and long red capsicums have made it through the winter.
Additional features include multiple sheds for wood, tools, and storage. And 101 Tararu is only a few minutes away from the Thames seaside walk and bike track and the Thames shops. Once a Public Works home, this property blends rich history with modern self-sufficiency, privacy, and charm.
