A handcrafted clay and timber home nestled within Japanese-inspired gardens, where a bridge crosses a tranquil pond to the front door and the sound of running water greets you each day like an exhale.
Hidden from the street and completely private, this single-level sanctuary blends natural textures with architectural honesty combining rammed earth, recycled timbers, exposed beams and rich brick underfoot, creating a warmth and authenticity you simply can't replicate in modern builds.
Using a construction method both ancient and enduring, rammed earth involves layers of natural clay, sand, and gravel that have been compacted between timber forms to create thick, sculptural walls that are as beautiful as they are functional.
The exceptional thermal mass naturally regulates temperature, staying cool through summer and warm through winter, creating a living environment that breathes with the seasons.
It's sustainable, low-maintenance, acoustically quiet and wonderfully tactile, a home that literally holds the warmth of the sun and the cool of the earth.
It's a home that speaks to those who crave connection, to the land, to their craft, to their quiet.
Artists, gardeners, woodworkers, and thinkers will find beauty in every detail here. Each space feels alive with light and character, the air feels cooler, the light softer, the sense of calm unmistakable.
Inside, the layout flows gently from room to room.
The heart of the home, a rustic open kitchen wrapped in brick and timber, looks out to the gardens beyond, while the adjoining living spaces invite gathering or solitude by the slow warmth of the wood fire.
Four generous bedrooms, including a master with ensuite, give the home practicality to match its personality, while the second living area offers flexibility for family life or creative retreat.
Step outside and the connection continues, winding paths, leafy canopies, and carefully tended greenery that feels part Japanese garden, part Australian bush.
There's a serenity here that's impossible to fake; every inch designed to restore balance and peace.
For the hobbyist or tradesperson, the garaging and workshop are a dream, substantial in size, high in clearance, and perfect for projects, tools, or storing boats and vehicles.
There's additional carport space too, and plenty of off-street parking for visitors who will no doubt want to linger a little longer.

Here, every day feels intentional, from morning tea by the pond to sunset walks by the lake.
