227 Alma Road Beechworth, 3747 VIC
SUSTAINABLE LIVING MINUTES FROM BEECHWORTH
Spanning approximately 245 acres of unspoilt Australian bushland, this extraordinary architecturally designed residence at 227 Alma Road represents a harmonious link between sustainable living and contemporary luxury. Just five minutes from Beechworth's historic centre, this rammed earth masterpiece offers complete seclusion while remaining wonderfully accessible to township amenities.
Built in 2006 with meticulous attention to environmental principles, the home showcases the timeless beauty of rammed earth construction coupled with intelligent passive solar design. Thermal mass principles work in balance with the landscape, creating interior spaces that breathe with the seasons. Combined with double glazing throughout the home, it is naturally temperate and profoundly comfortable.
A large dining and lounge room, complete with its picture framed window to capture the sunset views, plus a generous dedicated study for the work from home professional, will certainly impress. Your well equipped kitchen, with rich Red Stringybark benchtops procured from the property, will inspire any home chef.
Three oversized bedrooms offer abundant space for family and guests, each room with the kind of proportions rarely found in modern homes. Two well-appointed bathrooms complete the accommodation, while wood-fired hydronic heating radiates warmth throughout during cooler months, complemented by split system heating and cooling for year-round comfort.
Energy independence defines this property through its comprehensive off-grid solar system, recently upgraded with modern batteries and supported by automatic generator backup. This is self-sufficiency without compromise, allowing you to live lightly on the land while enjoying every modern convenience.
The scale of the land invites endless exploration, with bush walks limited only by your ambition, all within the boundaries of your own private domain. Live in collaboration with the native fauna including koalas, echidnas and wallabies along with abundant colourful birdlife.
A luxurious salt-chlorinated in-ground pool provides refreshment on warm days, while practical needs are met through a double carport and substantial 8m x 6m (approx.) lockup shed offering secure storage and workshop space.
This is more than a home; it's a statement about how we might live in the twenty-first century. It embodies the understanding that comfort can be achieved through intelligent design rather than excessive consumption. Here, surrounded by native bushland and wildlife, you'll discover the rare gift of true seclusion paired with township convenience.
