Here’s an ‘Ex-Display Home’ that offers a unique chance to get the very best, for those who desire a ‘green’ environment in more ways than one!
The design features soft curved roof lines reminiscent of Oriental architecture, and the high ceilings and multiple window openings makes living light and enjoyable, with inversion breezes giving year-round passive air conditioning. The living room is complemented by a magnificent kitchen with granite bench tops, and the main bedroom features the rock wall, mirrored robes, high ceilings and portals that can be closed for privacy. The bathroom features floors that can be heated in winter, so you can be comfortable, a full bath, shower and includes the laundry. There is a second bedroom in the main part of the dwelling. Set alongside, and separated by a breezeway, is a second part, or pavilion, incorporating a living area and second bathroom; this is ideal as guest quarters, third bedroom or for use as a study. It
has also been soundproofed for guitar players! The garden has a small pond on one side, views to the hills in both directions, and also has a vegetable garden and chook pen ~ fresh eggs on hand all year! The cafe is now open during the weekdays – 8am-2pm Wed-Fri and 8am-4pm Sat-Sundays – it’s just 300metres away and serves lovely food – so just stroll over for lunch!! Also there are some bananas growing on one of the plants and some papaya’s also.

Known throughout the world by aficionados, the Eco Village has been an ongoing success since its inception. The world-renowned concept and implementation has won 8 major awards, and the finished product is unique on planet earth. It is not just the buildings but the entire concept of a self-sufficient village that has attracted such attention.

Set amongst the fertile loam soil of the valley, the ‘Display Home’ naturally incorporated some unique and expensive items that were perhaps not always included in other homes. Of note amongst these are such items as the 20,000 gallon under-floor water storage tanks that can provide heating in winter. The stone faux-fireplace setting includes intricate stone-work by a local stone-mason, and includes a genuine Convict-hewed corner piece. The floorboards are re-cycled dark hoop pine from old homes in the valley, and give an earthy feeling to the living areas. Every window is re-cycled from old homes. The layout of the home takes into account the position of the sun at the equinox in both winter and summer, and the design actually draws cooling or warming air into the home. Thus, the availability of the Display home for one lucky family is a unique chance and unlikely to be repeated in the foreseeable future. Initially occupied by the creators of the eco-village, Chris Walton and Kerry Shepherd, the home has won eight major awards, including ‘Best Home’ and ‘Most Sustainable Home’.

The village meeting place contains the lagoon style swimming pool set near a magnificent old fig tree. It also has its amazing pizza oven, thatched pergola and conference rooms ~ ideal for meetings and weddings. The village has a unique attitude in the impersonal modern day era, so that the children can run free and enjoy the facilities. You can also enjoy meeting at the village green across the road from the home.

Just a 10 minute drive from the rolling waves and golden beaches of Currumbin, the Eco Village is an almost sold-out venture. Here is an opportunity to not only gain access to this unique lifestyle and position, but also to own the only ‘Ex-Display Home’ available, with all its’ additional features and benefits. If you like the idea of sustainable living and real quality of life, then come to see real tranquility ~ this is truly rural village living ten minutes from the city, but a million miles from care!

So be green, but not with envy ~ you need to act before someone else; remember this is the only one on earth!

The home is being marketed with an asking price of $750,000 Neg.
