Designed to embrace its elevated setting and capture postcard views, this high-quality sanctuary offers respite from a fast-paced lifestyle while maximising connection to the surrounding landscape.

The home is arranged around a central communal living zone, flanked by two private wings to support a more considered, compartmentalised approach to family living. A steel-frame structure paired with rendered Hebel panelling establishes a strong, symmetrical form, softened by rammed earth feature walls and stone chimneys that ground the home in its natural environment.

Performance and comfort were integral to the build. The combination of Hebel panelling and rammed earth delivers excellent thermal efficiency, further enhanced by full insulation, geothermal slab heating, air-cell roofing and acoustic treatments throughout. Expansive double-glazed windows frame uninterrupted views from every room, reinforcing a sense of calm and retreat. Recycled ironbark timber introduces warmth and contrast, adding to the home’s refined, natural palette.

Internally, rammed earth feature walls form the spine of the home, drawing movement toward the expansive central living space and creating a strong visual rhythm. A feature fireplace anchors the open plan are the room, establishing a welcoming focal point.

The striking central kitchen wraps around a large central island stone bench, inviting moments of connection. Complemented by a butler’s pantry, integrated appliances and clerestory windows, the space is effortlessly functional and welcoming.

The private master suite occupies one wing, complete with a generous ensuite and walk-in robe, while the opposing guest wing offers its own ensuite and powder room—ensuring comfort and privacy for visitors.

Confident in form yet grounded in its setting, this resilient residence is a considered evolution of the traditional homestead—delivering a home that is both visually compelling and deeply connected to the landscape it inhabits.
