A rare opportunity to own the best house in Derby.
A modern, light-filled, warm and spacious 3 bedroom house constructed from recycled timbers, with double-glazed windows throughout, and super insulating straw bale exterior walls. This stunning house is a one-off that provides the best of modern living with sustainable building design.
Renowned as the warmest and most light-filled house in Derby the double-glazed floor-to-ceiling windows on the north side provide electricity-free heating as the sun's rays heat the polished concrete slab, keeping the house warm day and night. Fully adjustable custom-made Luxaflex honeycomb blinds provide temperature control and complete privacy. Even on the coldest winter days, the indoor temperature stays around 18C. If you need a bit of extra warmth, a reverse-cycle heat pump has been installed for additional comfort.
Three double bedrooms provide plenty of space, with the two main bedrooms having ample floor-to-ceiling built-in wardrobes, and floor-to-ceiling windows on the north side.
The kitchen features stainless steel benches and work spaces, energy energy-efficient induction cooktop, an electric oven, a dishwasher and large cupboards and storage drawers.
The open plan living area gives you unrivalled views over the village and panoramic views to the Krushka's and Blue Tier forests, and a flexible private living area that easily transforms into a low-fuss entertaining area extending onto the recycled hardwood timber deck.
The striking front deck is constructed from recycled bridge timbers, providing a private outdoor living space with uninterrupted views encompassing Derby Lake and the iconic Floating Sauna to Trouty and Krushka's forests. Perfect for a sunset drink and BBQ after enjoying a day on the trails.
Set on a third of an acre of land backing onto bush you can make use of the existing productive vegetable garden area and fruit trees, or let the low-maintenance lawn areas complement the native trees and rainforest plants that have been nurtured to create habitat for wildlife.
A large steel, wood-clad lockable garage complements the aesthetic of the house and deck, and can be used to store your vehicle, as a work shed and bike lock up. A second lockable wood clad shed is perfect for storing bike overflow, tools or other outdoor adventure toys.
