If you are looking for something unique, out of the box and sustainable, this could be the one. Hand-crafted over 10 years, this beautiful home on a large, north facing block is positioned on a sealed road yet back from the traffic, ensuring privacy.

This is an incredible U-shaped open plan design with curved walls, huge windows all brought together with hand puddled mud bricks, rustic post and beam construction all made on site utilising poles and timber from local sources. There is a large light filled lounge, cosy dining room, raised central and very functional kitchen plus family room, then laundry and on around to bathrooms and bedrooms.

The living area is expansive, the soaring ceilings, mudbrick and glass infills, double doors out onto a manicured lawn in the court yard, the huge lounge with its leadlight framed windows all make for a very relaxing family home ready for riveting stories to be shared.

Up a few stairs to the hallway takes you to bathroom, bedrooms and home office. The family bathroom has a claw foot bath over shower, separate toilet and quirky features such as a bottle wall and a round frameless glass window. The 3 bedrooms consist of a huge master with direct access to the manicured courtyard lawn, walk in robe & ensuite. The second bedroom is cosy and enclosed, the third is open, high ceilinged and has the potential to be split and turned into two bedrooms. A spiral staircase takes you up to a loft office/study space and mezzanine storage.

The thermal mass of mud brick, the beautiful earthen floors all sealed with linseed oil, the random shaped split slate floors in the wet areas and a roof like no other built of hand cut wooden shingles, covered with Canvacon and layers of industrial material then sprayed with Polyureathane form the bones of a fully insulated climate controlled family home. The two Danish wood heaters, two large split systems and ceiling fans keep you cosy in winter and cool during summer.

Outside, a long driveway takes you to the back of the home and a very large double carport and easy flat access to the back door. A post and beam workshop built of the same mud bricks provides an excellent space for creative pursuits. There are further sheds for firewood, garden tools and a kid's cubby. The almost flat, open and sunny block has a combination of native and ornamental trees and shrubs, plenty sitting for sitting outside, with ample opportunities for developing the easy maintenance garden still further.

A truly individual property, come along to an open for inspection or contact the agent for a private viewing.
