Thoughtfully owner-built with sustainability at its heart, this distinctive country home on just over a third of an acre combines the organic beauty of curved walls with the exceptional thermal performance of strawbale external walls, mudbrick interiors and composed of natural materials sourced from the site itself. A warm, natural colour palette flows throughout the interior and exterior, enhancing the home's earthy character and connection to its garden setting.
Passive solar design, double-glazed windows, considered window placement and generous eaves work together to maintain year-round comfort, complemented by reverse-cycle heating and cooling and a slow-combustion wood fire.
Designed for a lighter environmental footprint, the home features an 11.5kW solar array, 10.5kWh battery, heat-pump hot water, approximately 40,000 litres of tank water with filtration, and an innovative worm-farm wastewater treatment system. Three-phase power and an EV charger in the garage further enhance its sustainable credentials.
The kitchen is a celebration of craftsmanship, appointed with quality European appliances including a handcrafted Lacanche dual-oven unit bringing a touch of the French countryside.
Outside, established trees and gardens create a peaceful country setting, with fruit trees including bush lime, lemon, grapefruit, fig, feijoa, and stone fruit, alongside raised vegetable beds and a henhouse.
A separate studio offers flexibility, while the sun-drenched outdoor deck and wood-fired oven invite relaxed entertaining.
Set on a quiet country road on the rural fringe, the property enjoys a tranquil, sheltered setting within easy walking distance of Red Hill Village shops and close to the Mornington Peninsula's celebrated restaurants, wineries, and scenic walking trails.
Just an hour from Melbourne, this is a compelling opportunity to embrace a more sustainable country lifestyle without sacrificing convenience.
