Central West Police District Acting Inspector Brian Duffey said the 20-year-old male driver of the Toyota Hilux was later charged with mid-range drink driving.
Acting Inspector Duffey said the house suffered "significant damage" in the 9.45pm incident.
He said the driver is due to face Orange Local Court on August 17, with police alleging the man blew a 0.112 breath test.
A NSW police spokesperson on Monday said police alleged the driver attempted to negotiate a sweeping bend in the road before crashing into the house.
Earlier on Saturday in a separate incident a 17-year-old woman from Burnt Yards, near Mandurama, suffered minor injuries after her car swerved and rolled over on Cadia Road at 1.25pm.
Acting Inspector Duffey said the incident occurred about four kilometres from Forest Road.
A NSW Ambulance spokesman said the teenager suffered cuts to her left arm and was transferred to Orange hospital for treatment.
