Straw Bale Sanctuary in Kettering

Welcome to a truly special lifestyle property where sustainability, serenity and breathtaking scenery come together. This stunning north east facing, solar passive straw bale home, built in 2005 sits proudly on just over five acres, capturing sweeping views across the D'Entrecasteaux Channel — a setting that feels like waking up in paradise every day.
From the moment you step inside, you're greeted by the warmth and openness of the main living areas. A defining feature of the home is the gentle curved walls, a hallmark of straw bale construction that softens each space and creates a beautiful sense of flow throughout. The open-plan family, dining and kitchen area is flooded with natural light, with large double glazed windows perfectly framing the surrounding gardens and water beyond. There's an immediate sense of calm here — whether enjoying quiet mornings at the dining table or hosting friends and family for long, relaxed gatherings.
A stunning double-sided fireplace sits between the living and dining spaces, providing both a beautifully visual impact and cosy warmth, creating an inviting atmosphere throughout the cooler months. This beautiful feature anchors the home and enhances the sense of connection between spaces, making it a joy to entertain or enjoy quiet evenings in. The more recent sunroom addition flows seamlessly from the family living area, offering a peaceful retreat for morning coffee, reading or simply soaking in the surrounding garden and water views.
At the heart of it all is the kitchen — a space designed for gathering, creating and sharing. The generous central island bench invites casual meals, wine with friends or helping hands while dinner is prepared. Quality appliances, including a wonderful St George double oven and 6 burner gas cooktop, make cooking a pleasure, whether you're preparing produce grown in your own garden or crafting seasonal dishes with ingredients sourced from local growers and providores. An impressive walk-in pantry provides abundant storage for home preserves, farmers' market finds and everyday essentials.
A practical laundry and mudroom sits conveniently off the kitchen, with direct access to the outside. An addition bathroom (toilet & shower) make it perfect for kicking off muddy boots after a day in the garden. Bring in the fresh harvests from the yard, and enjoy the ease of connection to sustainable, country living.
Tucked away from the main living areas, the master suite feels like a sanctuary within a sanctuary — a private retreat designed for rest and renewal. This peaceful haven enjoys its own walk-in robe and generous ensuite and also has access to the beautiful sunroom via sliding doors, creating a calming space to unwind at the end of each day.
Thoughtfully separated for family living, the remaining bedrooms are positioned in their own dedicated wing of the home. Here you'll find two additional bedrooms with built-in wardrobes and soothing garden outlooks, alongside a versatile study or home office and a well-appointed central bathroom. This clever layout offers privacy for all, making it ideal for growing families, guests or those working from home.
Outdoors, the property unfolds as a private retreat where nature and opportunity meet. Surrounding the home, the landscaped gardens have been thoughtfully designed for relaxation and connection, with winding pathways leading you through established plantings, quiet sitting areas and sun-drenched pockets perfect for a morning coffee or evening glass of wine.
Beyond the garden, additional partially cleared paddocks open up exciting possibilities for future owners. Whether you dream of having some small livestock, expanding your vegetable gardens, planting a boutique orchard or simply enjoying wide open space for children and pets to roam, the land offers freedom to shape your own rural lifestyle — truly, the sky is the limit.
A separate double garage is fitted with an EV charger, complementing the home's sustainable ethos, while generous additional parking easily accommodates guests, boats, caravans or trailers. The home also boasts a 12.32kw solar system assisting to greatly reduce power bills.
