Remarkable Residence Offering a Tranquil Low Impact Lifestyle
A calm and inviting atmosphere embraces you upon entering this stunning sustainable home in the centre of the Margaret River Region.
Soaring ceilings in the central living area, with its high windows and broad connection to outdoor living on the north, make for an exceptional experience.
This architect designed, solar passive residence enjoys generous and flexible living spaces, state of the art energy technology, quality German double-glazing throughout, recycled jarrah and karri features, and burnished concrete floors - plus all the benefits of life in a thriving rural ecovillage!
As well as its quiet and peaceful ambience, the home is profoundly practical being completely self-sufficient in rainwater and solar energy, and is surrounded by waterwise gardens all ready for a new owner to create their personal landscaping style. There is an additional 122sqm exclusive use garden area, with conditioned spoil ready for you to plant your veggies, that is reticulated by the shared dam waters.
There are bedrooms at each end of the home; the main with an ensuite, and a shared bathroom has a lovely deep tub. A further bedroom is located upstairs and is a versatile space currently utilised as a home office with a balcony that captures the rising sun. The owners have provided for future expansion, with engineering already provided in the construction of the home to allow for the addition of a two bedroom loft or studio space in the west wing of the home.
Comfort and convenience comes in many forms here. Extra features of note include:
• Very stable interior temperature maintained all year round thanks to the rendered straw bale construction - there is minimal heating or cooling during extremes. A clever underfloor cooling system is in place that draws cool air and distributes to all rooms if desired
• Extended, walk-through butlers pantry, on the south side of the home off the kitchen, has fabulous storage and at its far end is the laundry with another access doorway through to the living room
• Indoor-outdoor living is a breeze with two large sections of bi-folding doors opening up to connect with the extensive, covered alfresco with its well-considered light and heat management thanks to the Sunpal sheeting with custom retractable shade sails
• Extra large garage with auto door, workshop space, and entry to the pantry/store and into the kitchen
