These ones never come up - a distinctive and eco-friendly strawbale home, just over a kilometre from the heart of Beechworth, sitting on 2,400 sqm of private, low-maintenance bush gardens.
Thoughtfully designed and built with sustainability at its core, this 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom home offers a lifestyle for those who value simplicity, efficiency and a strong connection to nature.
Built with passion and integrity, the home showcases organic materials throughout: stunning earthen floors, thick strawbale walls and double-glazed windows provide exceptional thermal performance all year round. A Nectre wood heater adds warmth and character, while a 1.5kW solar system, evacuated tube solar hot water with gas boost, and a 50,000L rainwater tank with Puretec filtration, provide low-cost living with comfort and reliability.
The spring-fed dam offers an invaluable year-round water source for the property's established, predominantly native gardens - recently upgraded with landscaping and drainage works. There's scope to further develop the block with additional shedding, a creative studio, expanded food production or future subdivision (STCA). The potential here is real and ready.
Inside, the floorplan is simple and intuitive, with large, light-filled living, dining and lounge zones connecting to views of the surrounding bush. Every space feels calm, grounded and considered - a home made to be lived in, not just admired.
In a tightly held, much-loved pocket of Beechworth, the property backs onto Crown Land and opens directly onto the Silver Creek walking trails and Indigo Epic MTB trailhead. It's just a short walk to Lake Sambell, the rail trail, Baarmutha Park and local schools - close to everything, yet worlds away in feel.
Whether you're a couple, a small family, a downsizer or a weekender looking to unplug, this is a rare opportunity to live simply, sustainably and privately in one of Beechworth's most desirable settings.
