This 445sqm contemporary farmhouse combines luxury, high energy performance, and cutting-edge materials and methods designed for sustainability.  There are three bedrooms, all with en suites, in the three shiplap-clad linked pavilions, including a standalone guest pavilion.  One of the standout features is a canal-like rill water feature that runs along the exterior of the main living pavilion framed by floor-to-ceiling glass. Other exceptional details of the home are polished concrete floors, and a rich palette of Tasmanian oak, reclaimed timber ceilings and charred wood. The open-plan living and dining space is anchored by a striking marble-wrapped kitchen island with oak cabinetry. The living area extends out into a portico over a large deck. Opulent bathrooms feature floor-to-ceiling glazed porcelain tiles, bespoke cabinetry, and brushed brass fittings. 

The owner wanted a sustainable home based on high-performance passive construction principles, and Harrison Lane delivered. More than 80 per cent of the home’s energy is produced by an 8.2kW solar array with storage. Materials were chosen for their sustainability and energy efficiency, such as the insulated concrete floor and PVC window system. Extensive smart home technology controls every part of the home’s environment.
