Set upon approximately 10 acres of untouched native bushland on the edge of the Wombat State Forest, this remarkable strawbale residence offers a rare combination of seclusion, sustainability, and natural splendour, all within 8 minutes from Daylesford. With serene dam views and an atmosphere that feels instantly calming, it stands as a handcrafted haven where thoughtful design and organic materials create a home of exceptional warmth and individuality.
Built with passive energy principles and the celebrated thermal performance of strawbale construction, the home exudes an earthy elegance. Polished concrete floors, recycled elements, and the soft curves of its organic forms come together in a truly unique aesthetic. Beyond the front door, sweeping views and tranquil surrounds create an ever-present connection to nature.
The sunlit open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area forms the heart of the home, north-facing to maximise winter warmth and opening onto a lush, vine-draped terrace ideal for relaxed entertaining. Picture windows capture the shimmering dam and towering gums beyond, while lofty ceilings enhance the sense of openness and ease.
With four bedrooms, including two generous rooms with built-in robes, the home caters beautifully to families, weekenders, or those seeking room to host. Two bathrooms, a central laundry, and cleverly conceived hallways add further comfort and practicality.
Outdoors, the property continues to delight, enjoy a hit on the tennis court, unwind in the 8-person spa, or watch children play in their own dedicated area. The dam invites swimming, canoeing, or fishing for stocked trout and silver perch, while the surrounding bushland provides a haven for kangaroos, wallabies, koalas, and abundant birdlife. This is a private, sustainable retreat offering the perfect balance of rural tranquillity and convenience to Daylesford, Glenlyon, Trentham, Kyneton, Castlemaine, and Woodend.
A truly special opportunity to secure an eco-friendly sanctuary where nature and comfort live in harmony. Inspections by appointment only, contact Gary Cooke or Ashlee McKee to experience the magic of 15 Kangaroo Drive.
