Overview

Address available on request, Cape Schanck

This architect-designed rammed earth retreat is situated on an expansive 50-acre property, offering breathtaking panoramic views and a serene rural setting. Located at the end of a private 800-metre driveway, the residence is surrounded by sweeping paddocks and natural tranquility, providing a peaceful lifestyle away from the bustle of city life.

The home is built with sustainability and longevity in mind, featuring thick rammed earth walls that ensure year-round temperature stability. This is complemented by double-glazed windows, a Lopi wood burner, and reverse-cycle air conditioning units, allowing for efficient and comfortable climate control throughout the seasons.

Inside, the residence showcases premium finishes including Queensland blackbutt timber flooring, granite benchtops, and Stringy Gum timber decks that reflect a blend of coastal craftsmanship and timeless design. The gourmet kitchen is equipped with high-end Miele appliances and flows seamlessly into open-plan living areas and bluestone-paved verandahs, perfect for entertaining and enjoying the landscaped gardens and a 10-metre heated swimming pool.

The flexible layout includes a guest wing and rear bedrooms that can be separately locked off, making it ideal for multi-generational living or seasonal accommodation. The property is designed to be energy independent, with 40 solar panels generating 15 kW of power supported by a Tesla Powerwall 3 battery, ensuring uninterrupted off-grid capability. Water needs are met through a network of rainwater storage tanks totaling over 190,000 litres, with the added benefit of rare access to mains water connection.

Practical infrastructure supports a productive rural lifestyle, including two secure coded gates leading to a drive-through three-bay shed, dual double garages, and fully fenced paddocks with mains-fed troughs. The sheds are constructed with heavy-duty materials suitable for machinery storage, stabling, or workshop projects. The property is fully fenced with 2.4-metre kangaroo-proof boundaries, providing privacy and protection for livestock and landscaped areas.

Beyond its architectural excellence, the property offers agricultural opportunities with approximately 300 established Eucalyptus tetragona trees that generate a seasonal wildflower income exceeding $10,000 annually. Fertilised pastures comfortably support up to 25 steers, with hay production and cattle yards in place. These features provide lifestyle flexibility and ready-made agricultural revenue, with established local contacts available for ongoing management or partnership.

This exceptional property combines sustainable design, luxury living, and rural productivity, making it a unique offering in the Cape Schanck region.
