This eco-friendly, architect designed, mudbrick masterpiece is the perfect home away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Nestled in almost an acre of well-established garden, the four-bedroom home is located close to the iconic Wentworth Falls in the World Heritage-listed Blue Mountains National Park. Also nearby is the Charles Darwin's Walk that runs parallel to Jamison Creek before it spills over the escarpment to form the spectacular waterfall.
From the moment you enter the property via a semi-circular gravel driveway you are immersed in the glorious colours of an alpine climate garden - azaleas, rhododendrons, acers, magnolias. The earth-coloured exterior mudbrick walls of the house make it blend in beautifully with the garden landscape. Once inside the modern home, you are in a well-insulated house that is warm in winter and cool in summer. There are sustainably produced bamboo floorboards, gracious living areas, high-pitched ceilings and oodles of quirky character. This home is an entertainer's delight, with plenty of indoor and exterior entertainment areas and large double-glazed sliding doors that connect the internal living space and the beautiful garden.
The garden, designed by a renowned landscape designer, is a model of sustainable living. There are several large enclosed garden beds for growing vegetables, lots of mature fruit trees and a huge, fully enclosed chicken run planted with fig and plum trees.
