WAKARARA
A home in harmony with nature, with calm and neutral influences that enables you to leave the stress of everyday life at the front gate. Meandering the length of the driveway prepares you for entering your own sanctuary, situated on 20 acres at Hampton providing the ultimate in an Off- grid, stress free lifestyle. The owners worked closely with their Designer and Builder to create a home that is not only award winning for its sustainability and eco-friendly design, but provides a sense of calm in every corner of this stunning home. As this home provides so many features, in both design and sustainable concepts we have prepared a Memorandum of Information on "Wakarara"
THE INTRIGUE
The unique 'H' designed home was perfectly positioned to capture the best that nature has to provide, sun creating warmth and breeze for cooling and rain for water harvesting. Do not think that by achieving this you have a bland and boring home, this home is simply stunning and even though we have attempted to capture the unique essence of this home, an inspection is required to truly appreciate the sanctuary lifestyle at 148 Grapetree Road, Hampton.
THE FEATURES
Locally sourced sandstone from Helidon provides the perfect frame to the fireplace and creates a stunning feature at the entry with the most magnificent timber doors. Wide hallways and feature doors capture your imagination as you are greeted with the WOW factor when the you reach the main living area of this home. A few of the features include high ceilings and expansive glass windows overlooking the most relaxing and serene outdoor area designed to entrap you forever.

PS:
A recent article in the National Sustainable House day explains the back ground from concept to construction.
Building designer Ross Campbell ensured the home responded to the potential climate of hot summers, frosty winters, chilly winds and frequent mist and drizzle, setting it back from the edge of the escarpment. Two long wings of single-room-depth maximise northern aspect while providing separation between the main home and secondary wing. Low-e glass was used strategically, in combination with thermal mass, additional insulation and internal blinds. Double doors enable the house to be compartmentalised for privacy and thermal efficiency. An outdoor room with openable glazing on two sides make the space usable year-round. A north-facing pergola with deciduous vines complements this space, providing an alternative outdoor area close to the kitchen while improving solar control for the house.
