You simply won’t believe the absolutely unique living experience offered by this Japanese inspired home built on a private timbered 5 acre block and surrounded by thousands of acres of state forest, yet only 5 minutes from Pomona and Cooroy in the beautiful Noosa Hinterland. The home is stunning in its own minimalistic and simplistic way. Nestled among tall stands of bamboo and wet sclerophyll forest and surrounded by ornamental ponds with connecting walkways, you just feel your stress disappearing and you’ll enjoy a very relaxed lifestyle. The home consists of three pavilions. One houses the kitchen and living areas and one bedroom, the second houses the main bedroom and is linked, the third is the detached glass bathroom pavilion that looks out over the gardens. This home truly links the inside and outside environment with removable screens allowing the home to be transformed to suit the seasons. For most of the year the screen are removed creating an open pavilion perfectly suited to our climate. A 1.5 Kilowatt solar system provides power, with gas heating, hot water and fridge, and plenty of rainwater storage making this home virtually self sufficient. This home won’t suit everyone but if you appreciate the simple life without all the unnecessary material possessions you should come and have a look. – If you would like to view a video of this home go to http://au.lifestyle.yahoo.com/better-homes-gardens/tv/-/watch/21380190/japanese-hideaway/ P155
