763 Howes Creek Road,

Mansfield

Immerse yourself into the beauty of the natural environment in this well-considered rammed earth build that's a testament to the ingenuity, workmanship, time and expense to create a peaceful home, with a warm and inviting soul. A truly one-of-a-kind dwelling with two pavilions wrapping its arms around a deep veranda, worshipping the sun in just the right places, and utilising the principles of passive design.

It feels good. It looks even better thanks to the likes of expansive picture windows that frame the natural environment like a work of art, a blended, galvanised iron facade, polished concrete floors, custom timber joinery and oversized doors. The solar system, hydronic heating and double-glazed windows help create year-round comfort with energy-use reduction in mind. It functions beautifully.

Set deliberately back from Howes Creek Road on 7.24 acres (approx.), the sprawling grounds, spacious lawned areas, front deck, and fire pit zone create a tranquil space like no other. Those who want to arrive after a busy week, open a bottle of wine and wander around the magnificent edible garden will certainly appreciate the magic of a property that makes the rest of the world disappear.
