A beautiful 2-bedroom strawbale house and studio, built in 2024, surrounded by productive permaculture gardens and forest. Nestled in an intentional community of others with their own eclectic houses and vegetable gardens. Bespoke hand made timber kitchen, 'sheddy chic' bathroom, and deep walls with a neutral clay render. Has an attached greenhouse, deep verandahs, and a tiny house on wheels made from recycled materials. Kitchen windows look out to the forest, and the north windows of the house look out to the vegetable garden.
Close to the coast - inlet and surf beaches where Breath was filmed, and close to the old growth tingle forests, as well as the beautiful jarrah forests of the South West. Based on a very quiet street, with ample parking and access. The community consists of 18 houses, as well as dams and ponds to swim in, and 60 acres of karri, jarrah, mari forest. Kangaroos and black cockatoos abound.
