Some properties are built on a block. This one is built around a philosophy.
Known as Arles, this remarkable Diamond Beach property is a considered expression of permaculture
living, where the house, gardens and natural environment work together as one. Sustainability isn't a
feature added to the sales pitch; it is fundamental to the way this property operates. Every element has
been considered through the lens of working with the land, living lightly and creating a home that
connects its occupants to the environment around them.
Then there's the architecture. Bold without being showy, Arles has a design pedigree that would sit
comfortably on the pages of a design magazine - or perhaps on the Grand Designs TV series. Voluminous
interiors, soaring ceilings, expanses of glass and louvred windows draw light, greenery and coastal
breezes deep into the home, while a striking natural palette and tactile finishes give the spaces an
unmistakable sense of place.
At its heart, open-plan living, dining and kitchen spaces converge beneath soaring ceilings before
extending in two directions one side opening to an expansive deck, the other to a beautiful terrace
and resort-inspired lap pool beyond. It is a holiday-house sensation, only this is where you get to live.
The kitchen brings serious culinary credentials, with stone surfaces, high-end appliances and a generous
island at the centre of the action, while vast glass walls keep the greenery permanently in view.
Three bedrooms occupy their own private wing, centred around a beautifully appointed bathroom,
while the master retreat adds a walk-in robe and ensuite with his-and-hers vanity. A dedicated study
caters to work and creativity, while at the opposite end of the home, a generous studio with its own
bathroom and direct outdoor access introduces another dimension ideal for guests, extended family,
creative pursuits or Airbnb accommodation.
Outside, the property's permaculture principles become a way of life, with the landscape designed to
give back as much as it takes. There's something so satisfying about growing your own food, collecting
fresh eggs and knowing where more of what you eat comes from. Gardens, greenery and productive
spaces are woven into the property, allowing everyday life to become more self-sufficient and
rewarding. It's a slower, more purposeful approach to living, where tending the garden, gathering what
you need and making the most of your produce are simply part of the daily routine
Adding weight to this property is its prestige Diamond Beach address. Pristine beaches, village shops and
the local school are close by, Hallidays Point is less than 6km away for everyday essentials, and Forster,
Tuncurry and Taree are all within easy reach when you need bigger shopping, dining or town amenities.
