Overview
Situated in the serene Skilly Hills region on approximately 26.7 acres, this architect-designed eco retreat combines sustainable living with elegant craftsmanship. Hidden from the road and accessible via a private driveway, the home offers a secluded lifestyle that prioritizes privacy, natural beauty and energy efficiency.
The residence is constructed with superior thermal insulation including thermally isolated aluminium-framed double-glazed windows and 120mm timber-framed walls. Warming is provided by a central stone fireplace with a high-quality French slow combustion heater and thermal heat bank, complemented by a solar hot water system, underscoring the home's eco-conscious design.
The light-filled interiors benefit from exposed raked ceilings and bespoke finishes such as polished concrete floors inlaid with semi-precious stones and spotted gum timber flooring throughout. The Scandinavian-inspired kitchen features timber cabinetry, stainless steel benches, and a Red Stringybark timber breakfast bar, equipped with modern appliances and innovative storage solutions, all facilitating seamless indoor-outdoor connection to a vine-covered alfresco with a wood-fired pizza oven.
Accommodation includes three spacious bedrooms, with the master bedroom boasting built-in robes and panoramic views. The bathroom showcases a designer wet-room style shower, freestanding bath and heated flooring, enhanced by unique inlaid artwork. Additional functionality is provided by the laundry and internal storage areas.
Landscaped gardens favour drought-tolerant native plants with formal yet relaxed hedges, an orchard producing diverse fruit and nuts, and drip-irrigated vegetable and herb beds. Environmental sustainability continues with a reed bed septic system. Several sheds and robust infrastructure including large rainwater storage tanks, a bore with submersible pump, and a 2.4kW solar power system support the property's self-sufficiency and hobby farming potential.
Divided into four paddocks, the land offers a blend of lifestyle and farming opportunities, appealing to those seeking a nature-immersed, peaceful rural retreat with careful attention to eco-living and artistic design.
