The house and land were designed, built and managed to live in a good, ethical, sustainable relationship with the earth. For humans and nature to live in ecological community where all can flourish.
The owner’s vision is that this purpose continues indefinitely into the future. For its next owners to love the house and land, respecting its elders and non-human natural co-inhabitants, living sustainably in ecological community. For the large trees and unbuilt land to provide habitat for native flora and fauna – among them koalas and kookaburras. For the unimpeded views of the forest to remain and any human constructions to merge into the landscape so the bush and nature can spread their beauty. A passion project of love for nature and the earth.
Hepburn and Daylesford are a wonderful community, especially if you are interested in sustainable living.
