This hand-crafted mud brick home is built with care and authenticity on over seven acres of mixed bushland and open pasture.
Constructed using a post-and-beam method, the structure features stringybark posts cut from a single Tasmanian tree, paired with hand-shaped salvaged wharf timbers. Mud bricks were made on-site from the property’s own earth, making it thermally efficient.
Inside, the home flows with ease, with the kitchen and dining area forming the central hub. The kitchen has been recently updated and offers stone bench tops, solid timber cabinetry, and a walk-in larder. Slate floors add warmth and texture, while the dining space opens directly to a private, sun-filled patio.
Three bedrooms sit in their own quiet wing with convenient access to the central bathroom, laundry and separate toilet.
The home’s passive-solar design is evident throughout, with deep eaves, a north-eastern orientation and the thermal mass of mud bricks, keeping the interiors naturally cool in summer and warm in winter.
