Goobarragandra NSW 2/21 Walls Creek Road East
This architectural masterpiece in the NSW Snowy Mountains was featured on Grand Designs Australia in 2022 – and it’s easy to see why!
The home has been cleverly built into the side of the hill to not only to minimise its footprint but also to naturally regulate the internal climate. It will never get to zero degrees or 40 degrees inside as it’s insulated by Mother Nature’s earthy doona. Concealed by soil and grass, the home is cleverly hidden from a bird’s eye view.
This bespoke residence has been meticulously designed to provide a contemporary and superbly finished living space that is not only sympathetic to the surrounding environment but is also 100 per cent off the grid and accessibility friendly. For those seeking a rural escape, a home away from home, eco-friendly living, a home designed for ease of living and specifically to be wheelchair friendly, or a future-proof purchase, this is a home for anyone and everyone, says agents Andy Greenberger and Jane Macken.
Their favourite parts of this property are the breathtaking views – which can be enjoyed from “both the bedrooms, bathrooms and large open plan living area. The whole northern facade is a glass wall without interruption as the home has been designed to embrace these stunning views. The landscape becomes the fourth wall of the home. Layers of glass, insect screens, sheer curtains and blockout curtains give complete control over privacy and sun without impacting the clean lines of the facade.”
When it comes to location, you’re “on the doorstep of the Snowy Mountains, surrounded by rolling hills with river frontage and an abundance of nature. This secluded location is without compromise on lifestyle and liveability, just 2.5 hours from Canberra, four hours from Sydney Airport, and 20 minutes from Tumut and its amenities including shops, cafes, restaurants and schools. A perfect rural retreat,” the agents say.
The vendor says, “Viewing the Goobarragandra River and valley with its kookaburras laughing, kangaroos feeding, wedge-tail eagles soaring on thermals and an ethereal mist drifting through the peaks and troughs of the ranges can only reassure oneself that all is right with the world.”
