Self Sufficient Living In Style
Experience a home where the solid stabilised rammed earth walls envelop you in quietness, warmth and security. Where every window frames the valley and natural surrounds that living on over an acre in Emerald provides. This unique eco-friendly, passive-solar home is the type of house that rarely enters the market and a radical improvement over the typical template houses built these days!
Designed so winter sun fills the home, yet still protected from the summer sun, this north-facing home has heated polished concrete floors, timber stacking windows & french doors with Low-E glazing, a naturally-cooled walk-in pantry, 9 foot ceilings and a large kitchen with a magnificent custom-built bench-top with 900mm La Germania stainless steel cooker. Quality remote-controlled roller shutters are fitted to most window and doors, offering security and insulation at the push of a single button.
