A stunning, architectural, fully sustainable residence, designed with traditional Feng Shui principles, has come available for sale in the Currumbin Eco Village. Featured in Sanctuary magazine as a 'Modern Green Home' this dwelling offers an impeccably designed and sustainably built home, essential for well-being, good health and living in harmony with nature. There are a plethora of essential amenities close by, including an organic grocer, local produce café and village day spa, and with all the Gold Coast has to offer just down the road. In addition, the property also presents the potential for dual rental income or to be used as a retreat space.

From the moment you walk into this two-level, three-bedroom gem of a home on 3587sqm of pristine land, you get a strong sense of peaceful tranquility, and connection to the green canopy aspect. You may wonder if it has anything to do with the timber floorboards, originally telegraph poles. Or is it due to the hardwired internet cabling meaning wifi is not required – or perhaps it is the 7.5 star NatHERS energy rating of the house?

The home is designed for passive cooling in summer and passive winter solar gain, utilising recycled blockwork walls, rendered with natural clay and an aggregate of wheaten chaff to provide excellent thermal mass within the home. The home faces north and provides excellent insulation and ventilation - this means that other than ceiling fans the house almost never requires active heating or cooling. The building is fitted out with an 8.3kW grid connected solar system, which generally more than offsets the electrical consumption, meaning most electricity bills are a credit. The Delta hybrid inverter is the only one on the market that will continue to supply power to the house even if the electricity grid is down.

The home offers an open plan kitchen with a lower ceiling, intentionally designed to create a cosy feeling of hearth in contrast to the higher ceilings of the living/dining area. The bathroom, with three sides of glass is simple yet stunning. And, if a little ambient music is called for, one can utilise the in-built speakers positioned in the living room, dining room, bathroom and master bedroom. The window placement offers a connection to nature in multiple directions, capturing and maximising the best aspect of the light.

This little gem bestows two 22,500 litre rainwater tanks and a 10,000 litre rainwater tank for fire-fighting, and on-site wastewater system with irrigation field. The home also comes with the H2O Pureplus system, an advanced secondary treatment wastewater system with nutrient reduction.

Upon the land you will also be delighted to find a vegetable garden with raised beds and a hobby orchard, offering an established fruiting finger lime bushel, a macadamia tree, and younger trees (including mulberry, mango, japoticaba, grumichama, orange, tangerine and black sapoti). If you wander just down the track off to the side of the property you will find a creek and watering hole oasis as beautiful as any national park, to swim in, meditate or let children play.

Once you step into this home, the rest of the human world all but disappears. Yet the community of like-minded people offers regular activities including yoga, qigong, dance, games nights, craft get-togethers, bushcare and annual events such as the Village cricket match or 'Backyard Christmas'.
