Some homes were built not just to be lived in - but to help you live differently.
A bold expression of Australian modernism, Karoo Crest Retreat celebrates form, texture and connection. Stone, concrete and timber ground the home in the natural landscape, while expansive glazing blurs the line between calm interiors and the garden beyond. Set on approx. 5,759 sqm, bordered by Hepburn Regional Park, this property offers direct access to forest walks, total privacy, and an atmosphere of quiet luxury.
Spanning approx. 330 sqm of internal space, the home unfolds through two distinct wings - the original stone structure and a considered timber-and-iron extension. Together, they create a space of architectural integrity and lasting materiality.
Inside, the detail is both practical and poetic. Polished concrete floors, exposed beams, and crafted timber joinery bring texture and warmth. In the main living and dining area, clerestory windows draw in light, while a slow-combustion fireplace, AC units, ceiling fans, and heating panels offer year-round comfort. The kitchen is honest and functional, pairing stone benchtops, timber cabinetry, and a generous island made for gathering.
A second living area, finished in granite stone, opens out to the landscape via glass doors and overlooks the home's architectural centrepiece - an internal atrium garden that brings life and greenery into the heart of the home.
The floor plan supports space and solitude: three bedrooms, a home office, and two bathrooms - including a main bathroom with sunken concrete bath, underfloor heating, and twin glass basins that feel sculptural and serene.
Nature isn't just near; it's embedded in the experience. An 80,000-litre rainwater tank, integrated into the building itself, speaks to thoughtful sustainability. Practical systems include double glazing, full insulation, solar power with grid connection, an Aquatreat septic system, external fire sprinklers, and a second 80,000-litre rainwater tank.
This is a quiet community, with only a handful of neighbouring homes. Surrounded by natural beauty, winding bush tracks, and the call of birdsong, homes like this don't sell, they pass to the next person ready to reconnect with nature.
