Be the first to live in this magnificent new waterside home and studio in the award-winning sustainable Witchcliffe Ecovillage.
This spacious 660sqm strata titled property features two separate dwellings consisting of a main two bedroom two bathroom home (131sqm) plus an additional 31sqm fully self-contained one bedroom one bathroom studio, which is perfect for guests or an income-generating long term rental option.
Luxurious, modern and sustainable, this property has been thoughtfully designed, expertly crafted and features high quality specifications throughout, from electric underfloor heating to bespoke cabinetry.
Located on one of the most sought-after premium lots in Cluster 5B on the south-eastern edge of the Witchcliffe Ecovillage, no matter which way you look, you're wrapped in nature's beauty: expansive water views, forest and conservation zone, organic vineyard and avocado orchard. Wambenga Retreat is a quiet cul-de-sac with no passing traffic: a true retreat of peace, privacy and serenity.
Finished in late 2025, this passive solar designed home is clad in stylish Axion timber boards that silver off uniformly and, importantly, require zero maintenance. Built by well-regarded premium local builder Tallwood Custom Homes, it achieved an 8.6-star NatHERS energy efficiency rating. When also paired with self-sufficiency in rainwater, solar energy, thick insulation, and double-glazed windows, this translates to an incredibly comfortable home with negligible running costs. With the luxe addition of electric underfloor heating in the main home, you can go barefoot in winter in complete comfort.
This custom designed home has a spacious living and dining area with magnificent large windows facing north and east to take in the water and forest views. Made for entertaining, the kitchen is fitted with top quality appliances, stone benchtops, custom cabinetry and a scullery neatly tucked behind providing abundant storage. Stacking sliders open onto a north-facing timber deck and mulched area ready for new owners to plant a garden come the cool of Autumn. Fencing and mulching has been completed.
The main bedroom has built-in robes, linen curtains and sliding doors that open onto the deck and offer views of the southern dam. The spacious deluxe ensuite comes complete with a deep soaking bath. The second bedroom could easily convert into an office if desired with all the tech wiring already in situ.
A compact version of the main house, the self-contained studio bedsit has a full kitchen with dishwasher, integrated washing machine, separate bathroom, a living and bedroom area with a new Murphy wall bed and cabinetry installed. Providing endless flexibility as to the use of this property, the studio represents a beautiful guest suite for visiting friends and family or make your asset work for you as a profitable long term rental home.
Like all Ecovillage lots, this property has an Exclusive Use Area (EUA) productive garden of 131sqm with a separate dam water allocation supplied through the strata cluster. It's part of the shared community garden, which also includes a community meeting house, stone fire pit circle, lawn / play area. Cluster 5B was one of the last residential clusters to be sold within the Ecovillage and therefore many of the homes are still to come and under construction. Similarly, the community garden area awaits an active strata community to develop it as they wish.
