Winner 2011 HIA Energy Efficient Home

A highly intelligent luxury home designed to make a positive impact on this stunning Australian landscape, conscious of its carbon foot print this property gives as much as it takes. Created to be the ultimate escape 'Mornington Rise' is also a celebration - a place to make you feel good, revitalize and recharge. In an exclusive ultra-private location the bitumen drive meanders past a series of outbuildings amongst gently rolling rural vistas on 84 acres before opening to a most impressive unique prestige home which truly does set a new standard.


The grand rammed earth and Kanmantoo stone construction is accentuated by exotic timber joinery, creating a thoroughly modern environment that fits naturally into the magical rolling pastures and native surrounds.

A sophisticated interior design offers supreme comfort expanding over two levels, providing flexible areas to cater for individual needs at any stage of modern family life. Each room is perfectly proportioned with relaxed yet luxurious finishes. A self-assured and confident home that embraces who you are and where you live.

Gazing through the light-filled rooms to the beautiful views, you will become intuitively aware of how the home capitalises on its northern aspect and state-of-the-art technology to create a near energy-neutral lifestyle.

With electronic systems built-in to manage the more mundane domestics, your time is truly your own to enjoy. You can't help but feel the quality and luxury here. 'Mornington Rise' is an experience - peace, tranquillity, yabbying in the dam, exploring amongst the breathtaking views, plucking home-grown vegetables from the patch and eggs from the happy hens - these are memories that will be treasured for generations.

'Mornington Rise' - A place to enjoy the journey as well as the destination, an easy 25 minutes to a capital city and 40 minutes to an international airport.
