The home has been built to exacting ecological standards, having gained industry recognition by winning prestigious HIA awards in 2009 - namely the "Greensmart Energy Efficient Housing" and "Sustainable Housing" awards.

The home will captivate you from the moment you pull into the driveway. From the materials used in the build, to the magnificent garden setting - everything blending together to create this wonderful and truly unique property. Modwood decking leads you to the wide front door - on entering you will be drawn to the texture and colour of the rammed earth walls and polished exposed aggregate flooring found throughout, which together provide the thermal mass of the home.

A beautifully appointed powder room is found at the end of the passage. To the right of the front door is the home office, with fabulous fixed display shelving and cabinetry (this could be used as a fourth bedroom if needed).

The island bench is stunning, with stools on two sides, forming the centrepiece of the kitchen/living room. A fabulous Butler's Pantry/Laundry with Miele Washer/Dryer and matching painted glass splashback provides even more storage and bench/preparation space for the kitchen. The living room has towering glass sliding doors which open to the north facing patio/courtyard.

Last year the owners created another stunning garden setting on the adjoining title which is sure to win another landscape award - large granite boulders form terraced pathways which run around the perimeter of the garden, a fabulous firepit at one end will be the scene of many a happy family gathering. Hundreds of established native plants adorn the garden beds which look quite beautiful now - you can only imagine how gorgeous this garden will look in a few years time!
