SUSTAINABLE MASTERPIECE THIS house is a home with a conscience. It is an investment in a beautiful property for future generations. Dreaming of a tree change and a home that respects the environment, has breathtaking views and attention to detail in all its finishes, then this is an opportunity not toa be missed. The home comprises five bedrooms (or four bedrooms plus study) with open-plan living and two bathrooms. The versatile property has many options with the living zones, and can be tailored to the unique needs of the buyer. With 16 solar panels and carbon tracker, triple insulation, double glazing, comfort glass, no VOC Ecolour paint throughout, the latest in CO2 whisper quiet heat pumps, it
is one of the most energy efficient houses around. There is not a single corner of this house that has not been lovingly refurbished by a master craftsman. Every choice has been made keeping quality, longevity and carbon footprint in mind. The pictures speak for themselves - but only by stepping into the house will one get a sense of how unique this well-designed, understated home is. Feel the warmth emanating from the sculptural caste iron Ove Invicta. It is a super efficient slow combustion heater centred on a bespoke cast concrete round hearth. Yes it has come all the way from France, but its efficiency and beauty and the once-
in-a-lifetime investment makes it worth the extra carbon miles to get it here. One is sure to feel the warmth underfoot in the hydronically heated slab downstairs and will be drawn to touch the tiled curved wall in the bathroom. This house is something to be experienced. All this is nestled on two and half acres of natural bush land a few minutes drive from the centre of Healesville. Extensive areas have been cleared and levelled to create your dream garden perhaps an orchard or vegie patch. There is a natural fern gully running through the property. Share the property with the resident wombats whose burrows pepper the landscape and put up with seeing
PROPERTY OF THE WEEK
kangaroos on a regular basis. There is a range of stunning birds including kookaburras, king parrots and rosellas. There is also a brand new Belling induction freestanding oven with three separate ovens as well as a new Asko dishwasher in the kitchen- the no grout finishes in the bathrooms are very beautiful and the tiles in the kitchen and laundry are exquisite. The studio/workshop outside is such stuff as dreams are made of, with sweeping views of the valley and lots of natural light. It is conveniently close to the house and has so much potential to become exactly what you need it to be, if you require a home office or work space.
