765 Robinsons Road, Pearcedale VIC 3912

This outstanding property on 10 acres (approx.) in Pearcedale is an exemplar of mid-century. Designed by architects Cocks and Carmichael in the mid 1970s, it may be Australia's first ever home built to be energy independent. Water is pumped and then warmed on the roof, whilst energy is collected by 16 solar panels and stored in batteries within the home. All living rooms face north where deciduous trees shade and protect with cool breezes in the summer and allow heat to penetrate walls of glass in the winter. Bespoke furniture in mountain ash features throughout whilst twin double bathrooms stand the test of time. A masterclass takes place in the kitchen with cutting-edge cabinetry, fixings and luxury finishes complimenting high-end appliances. A one-bedroom self-contained barn, stables, a hazelnut orchard, two dams and complete privacy await an appreciation of design and a patient hand prepared to enhance the vision begun 40 years ago.
