“Why we like the property” (agent perspective)

High-performance homes built to the PassivHaus standard remain exceptionally rare in regional Victoria, and this property showcases the concept beautifully. Designed to maintain a consistent indoor temperature of approximately 20–25°C with minimal energy, the home delivers an extraordinary level of comfort and efficiency year-round. A heat recovery ventilation (HRV) system continuously introduces fresh, filtered air while removing moisture and stale air, creating a living environment that is healthy, mould-free and condensation-free. Combined with triple-glazed windows, superior insulation and a draft-free envelope, the result is a home that is remarkably quiet, comfortable and energy efficient. Set within a peaceful native landscape, the home is oriented to capture northern sunlight, with a generous north-facing veranda offering the perfect place to relax and take in the surrounding bushland. It’s a property that blends architectural intelligence with an effortless country lifestyle.

“What the property offers” (property perspective)

Thoughtfully designed and built with care, this high-performance residence combines sustainable design with refined country living. Constructed to the PassivHaus standard, the home maintains a stable internal climate of approximately 20–25°C with very low energy demand. A heat recovery ventilation system provides a continuous flow of filtered fresh air, supporting a clean, healthy and balanced indoor environment. Premium construction elements — including extensive insulation and imported triple-glazed windows and doors — ensure exceptional thermal performance, acoustic comfort and year-round liveability. Outdoor living has been designed for gathering and connection. A north-facing veranda captures the winter sun, while the enclosed entertaining area with wood-fired pizza oven and fireplace allows for relaxed entertaining in every season. The property also features a separate studio residence, ideal for guests, extended family or flexible living, along with expansive grounds including a spring-fed dam and a beautiful native bush setting rich with local wildlife.

“What you love about the property” (vendor perspective)

What we love most is the sense of comfort and calm the home provides every day. The PassivHaus design keeps the temperature beautifully consistent, and the fresh air system means the house always feels clean and healthy. Our favourite place is the north-facing veranda. Sitting there in the sun with a cup of tea while looking out over the trees and birdlife has been one of the simple pleasures of living here. We’ve also loved entertaining family and friends in the outdoor living area with the pizza oven and fireplace — it’s a space that brings people together, regardless of the season. Above all, the property offers a wonderful sense of privacy, nature and connection to the landscape, while still feeling welcoming and peaceful to come home to.
