ABOUT YOU:
You dream of a less complicated life, a life where your connection with nature and life's simple pleasures are the daily norm, not the annual escape. You have worked hard and have earned the right to be surrounded by not only a serene natural landscape but also a level of luxury, which you fear may conflict with your philosophic goals. You crave a stronger relationship with the earth's greatest assets, with the ocean, with rivers and creeks, the forest, hills, clean air and clear skies. Your rarely encountered sighting of animals in their natural environment excites you and reminds you of nature's way. You recycle, seek out organic and biodynamic products, turn the switches off at the wall but want to do more and to learn more and live a more sustainable life. You are looking for the connection with a local community that cares and shares.
ABOUT THE MAIN RESIDENCE:
This is a home with few equals in its class, a home that is not simply designed and built, it represents a lifetime of research, design innovation materials selection and implementation of the highest standard. Designed and built in 2011 by Master-Craftsman and multi-award winner Sepp Hock, it was one of the first Carbon Neutral Homes in Australia. What does this mean? In simple terms, the environmental impact over the lifespan of the home is practically nil due to the use of recycled and recyclable materials, energy efficient practices, systems, fittings and appliances. The home has been recognised with not 1 but 7 Housing Industry of Australia "GreenSmart" Awards and was invited to appear in a feature episode of television series "Australia's Best Houses". Beyond its environmental credentials, this is a luxury home, a comfortable home that has been designed for maximum enjoyment, connection with the outdoor landscape and minimal running costs. The spaces are substantial in height and volume, light filled, insulated to the highest levels, with every door, window, wall and ceiling meticulously designed for your comfort. Three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a large open plan kitchen/dining/living area and several connected outdoor decks provide all the accommodation and entertaining space for your everyday needs. The views from the home of the spring fed dam, native garden and bushland appear to be extension of the home itself.
THE GUEST HOUSE:
Separated and self-contained, the guest house was built in 2014 to the same outstanding standard of the main residence. Two bedroom spaces, a bathroom, kitchen, laundry and private outdoor area will provide comfortable accommodation your guests or family will appreciate.
ABOUT THE PROPERTY:
3.5 acres of pristine reserve bushland nestled between Dunsborough and Yallingup with both towns, their beaches and their assets just minutes away. The pretty lily-lined Yallingup brook winds through the valley of the property. A spring-fed dam in front of the main residence provides an endless water supply to supplement the rain water filled 130,000lt tank, with town water also available in the unlikely event you feel the need. A large kangaroo and rabbit proof organic garden and orchard and a garden potting shed are there to provide all the food and tools you'll need to live an almost self-sufficient life. What will amaze you during inspection is despite this being a sizeable land holding with numerous mini-environments to enjoy, everything is so accessible and so well connected.
