Overview

The Strawbale Dream

Some homes you dream about. Others? You'd never even imagine them - because the vision, the craftsmanship, the soul - it's just on another level. That's what you'll find here at 54 Main Street, Gordon. This isn't just a house, it's a story. A once-tired home, reimagined into a modern country retreat that embraces its setting and celebrates natural living. Hand-built with strawbale walls and timber framing, it's warm, grounded and deeply connected to the landscape around it. Inside, the magic is in the details. Polished concrete floors with hydronic heating underfoot. Deep timber windowsills that beg you to pause with a cuppa. Recycled Tasmanian Oak lining boards, restored doors salvaged from a Californian Bungalow, and custom birch ply cabinetry that feels both timeless and tactile. It's the kind of craftsmanship you just don't see every day. And then there's the comfort. Cool in summer thanks to clever passive design, warm in winter without needing to crank a heater - though there's a wood fire just in case. Solar panels, rainwater tanks and fully electric living mean this home treads lightly without compromising a thing. Step outside and the garden takes centre stage. Native landscaping, granite and basalt boulders, sandstone paths, a natural pond, veggie beds and fruit trees that bring food to your back door. There's even a separate self-contained cottage and a powered workshop, giving you room to spread out, host, or create. And the location? Gordon has that small-town magic. You've got the Farmgate, the pub, the general store and café all close by. Ten minutes takes you to Ballan with its train station to Melbourne, Elsie Rose Bakes and a brand-new library. Ballarat, Daylesford and Buninyong are all within easy reach - plus Lal Lal Falls, Creswick Bike Trails, and Bostock Reservoir if nature's calling. The result is a farmhouse that feels both contemporary and enduring. Built from natural materials, shaped by the landscape, and designed for comfort, it's a home that will have you reaching for the packing tape after your very first inspection.
