Planning a function or a special occasion? We have the answer….
Spending time in nature benefits your mental clarity, mood and heart health – which means where you live truly matters to your overall wellbeing. If your current home feels worn out, boxed in by busy roads or noisy neighbours, or is simply lacking inspiration, it may be time for a change.
A beautifully crafted two-level mudbrick home bordering the state forest could be the perfect place to begin your next chapter.
Situated in Hill End, West Gippsland; and just a short drive from Blue Rock Dam and Mount Baw Baw, this unique property rests on a peaceful 10.91 hectares. It offers a lifestyle defined by nature, sustainability and quality local craftsmanship.
Sales agent Luke O’Dea said the one-of-a-kind home on Russell Creek Road was constructed using highly sought-after, locally sourced mud bricks.
‘The bricks are not only visually striking but are renowned for their thermal performance, durability and timeless appeal, setting this property apart from standard construction and ensuring comfort in every season,’ Luke said. ‘Homes like this are increasingly rare to find.’
From the moment you step inside, the home feels warm and inviting. The floor plan flows effortlessly, with an open-plan kitchen and living area designed for relaxed living and easy entertaining. Expansive lounge windows flood the space with natural light while capturing sweeping views of the surrounding landscape and native wildlife.
Bordering the state forest, the property offers exceptional privacy and a constant connection to nature, creating a truly wildlife-rich setting.
A timber staircase connects the two levels, continuing the consistent use of locally sourced materials throughout. The bathroom features rare glass shower tiles, adding a distinctive design element.
Comfort and efficiency are thoughtfully integrated with a Coonara wood heater, split-system air conditioning, double-glazed windows, a north-facing orientation and a 16-panel solar system that generates more power than the home requires.
One of the standout features is the private balcony off the upstairs retreat, overlooking peaceful bushland with views towards Mount Baw Baw, making it the perfect place to slow down, unwind, and start or finish your day.
Outside, the house paddock is secured with deer fencing, while water tanks service both the home and gardens. Established landscaping and a wide variety of fruit trees support a productive and sustainable lifestyle. Mature yellow gum trees, two dams, a large shed, double carport and established rose gardens complete the offering.
