NewsThe Amazing 'Earth House' With A Mowable Roof
Spanning 14.5 acres in Goobarragandra, NSW, ‘Earth House’ is the eco haven that has everyone talking.
Nestled between rolling hills at 2/21 Walls Creek Road East the house epitomises eco-conscious living and runs 100% off the grid. But sustainability aside, it’s the home’s nature-inspired design that’s wowing potential buyers and fans of modern architecture.
Seamless integration with nature
Strategically positioned within the hillside, the house minimises its footprint on the environment and maintains a regulated interior climate. Consider it the designer home completely integrated with the landscape.
You can even mow the roof.
“We wanted to both minimise our impact on the visual amenity of the Goobarragandra valley and limit our impact on the environment. Building an earth-sheltered house fulfilled both these goals.”

An interior with the works!
The interior reveals polished concrete floors, custom joinery and all the designer details you’d expect in a premium abode, including floor-to-ceiling double-glazed windows, feature walls and LED lighting throughout. It boasts a spacious open-plan layout and views that provide the backdrop to a lifestyle steeped in nature.
The Northern facade is comprised entirely of glass and allows residents to soak up the surroundings from any room without sacrificing privacy.
The designer kitchen features luxuriously thick stone bench tops, a Miele oven, an integrated dishwasher and even a Teppanyaki hot plate. Custom joinery ties it all together into a cohesive and functional space ready for families big or small.
The alfresco entertaining zone comprises an expansive deck and a built-in BBQ area perfect for entertaining or enjoying downtime with loved ones.
The main shed serves as the nerve centre and primary power source of the home, housing solar panels, satellite internet and a 92,000-liter water tank. It also provides parking space, abundant storage and cosy guest lodging, completing the Earth House’s holistic living experience.
Earth House goes to auction on 19th February 2024 fully furnished.
