The property has been planted with over 16,000 indigenous trees to create both a carbon sink and provide much needed habitat for threatened wildlife.

The trees were planted in 2006/07 and are have created a sanctuary for many species of birds, mammals and lizards.

Rainwater and a spring provide freshwater for the home with a 75,000-litre tank storage.
