157 Main Road, Hepburn VIC 3461

Designed with permaculture principles and passive solar efficiency in mind, this spacious home offers a truly sustainable lifestyle in the heart of Hepburn Springs. Thoughtfully planned for year-round comfort, it features multiple living zones adaptable for family life, work, or creative pursuits.

Internal mudbrick walls provide excellent natural insulation—keeping the home cool in summer and warm in winter—while a split system offers added flexibility. At its heart, the country-style kitchen with a large walk-in pantry and classic Stanley wood stove forms a cosy hub in the north-facing living and dining area.

Floorplan highlights:

- Four generous bedrooms
- Three living areas, including a rumpus room
- Recently renovated family bathroom

Sustainability features:

- Mains power and water supplemented by solar panels and rainwater tanks
- Architecturally designed by Unicorn Architecture (Per Barnard & Helen Barnard) for passive solar performance and thermal comfort

Set on an unusually large block adjoining the renowned Melliodora Permaculture Farm, the property feels wonderfully private with leafy outlooks and a seasonal creek along the western boundary—yet it’s just a short walk to schools, shops, and public transport.

The gardens reflect nearly two decades of organic care, comprising a mini food forest of fruit trees, raised vegetable beds, and edible plantings throughout. With established infrastructure already in place, the hard work has been done—making this a rare opportunity to live the permaculture lifestyle right in the heart of Hepburn Springs, famed for its natural springs and day spas.

Future potential exists for subdivision (STCA) via rear laneway access. This is a home that truly combines country charm, sustainability, and convenience in one exceptional package.
