A Treasure Beyond Measure

A real home where the past and future reside in living presence. Never before has this opportunity come to market.

Set in just under two acres of lush, established farmland, this remarkable and unique retreat has been lovingly shaped around the principles of permaculture, and living in harmony with nature.

This regenerating food forest encompasses wild areas set aside to attract beneficial insects and promote natural biodiversity, native bush, medicinal gardens, and abundance of heritage fruit and nut trees. Raised vegetable beds create a wrap-around edible landscape where there is always something growing, flowering or ready to harvest.

At the heart of the property sits the original three-bedroom farmhouse, now restored to a stunning home that connects seamlessly to the architectural masterpiece originally designed and created by the natural building Architect Graeme North and Deniece, his wife, as their home of not just design excellence - but prepared and relevant to our times with its planet saving purpose.

Combining the sensory experience expressed through the realm of an artist's eye, hand and heart combines functionality with utter delight, warmth and wonderfully unexpected detail.

So wend your way through the Hundertvasser inspired pathways and outdoor patios to step into the unforgettable experience of the rammed earth floor that grounds you into the land, highlighting the clay that builds this natural minor dwelling. A further experimental sleepout provides additional flexibility for guests, creative pursuits or quiet retreat.

For those who need space to create, work and share with family and friends including community, the newly renovated barn is a standout, complete with a dedicated art studio upstairs.

An above-ground salt swimming pool adds to the relaxed lifestyle on offer and provides the perfect spot to cool off through the warmer months.

This property is about far more than buildings. You are part of a living, productive environment that asks to be enjoyed, shared, nurtured and continued. You need to love getting your hands in the soil, building, learning and appreciating the rhythms of this property designed for all life to thrive.

To wander barefooted outside to go gather dinner and discover what is fruiting. It won't be for everyone, and that is precisely what makes it so special. For the gardener, the creative, the permaculture enthusiast, the family seeking a more self-sufficient existence or simply someone dreaming of escaping the ordinary, this is a rare opportunity to inherit a lifestyle that has already been years in the making.

Come home. Stay for the land, the lifestyle, and all the little surprises in between.
