Step into a sanctuary where architecture, ecology, and lifestyle merge into something truly transcendent — a regenerative, off-grid haven designed not just to exist within the land, but to elevate it, all set against breathtaking views of mountains and rolling hills that anchor the home in its wider landscape.
This straw bale dream home is a masterpiece of biophilic design and low-impact architecture, crafted with natural building techniques that breathe, insulate, and harmonize with the environment. Thick, sculptural straw bale walls offer exceptional thermal mass and super-insulation, delivering year-round comfort while dramatically reducing energy demand.
Oriented to the north, the home captures the full generosity of the sun, with carefully placed windows framing surrounding hills and alpine vistas like living artworks. Passive solar heating fills the space with light and warmth, while the polished concrete floor acts as a thermal battery, absorbing solar gain by day and releasing it slowly into the evening — a seamless expression of passive house principles.
At the heart of the home, a wood-fired cook stove on wetback and radiant wood burner provide both warmth and nourishment — an elemental presence that brings fire, food, and gathering into a timeless rhythm of living.
Completely off-grid, this home embodies energy independence and resilience, powered by renewable systems and guided by a philosophy of self-sufficiency and closed-loop living. Every element reflects a commitment to sustainability, permaculture ethics, and future-forward design.
A separate one-bedroom with loft apartment with ensuite offers flexible living ideal for guests, extended family, or potential income, while maintaining privacy and independence.
Beyond the home, eight lush deer fenced and cross fenced paddocks unfold under regenerative agriculture practices restoring soil health, increasing biodiversity, and sequestering carbon. A thriving heritage orchard of apples, pears, and grapes is grown using organic and biodynamic principles, while a productive shade house supports year-round food production and an orchard-to-table lifestyle.
Boundary plantings of oaks and native species create shelterbelts and habitat corridors, enhancing ecosystem restoration and natural beauty.
This is more than a home — it’s a holistic lifestyle property, a climate-conscious retreat, and a legacy of land stewardship.
A place where food sovereignty, eco-conscious living, and design excellence converge.
