‘The Antidote To City Life’: The longest house in Australia mentioned for sale with $ 8 million price tag – realestate.com.au

A crowned house that looks like a giant barn has come on the market for the first time.

Daylesford Longhouse became 110 meters from start to finish, was built as a huge greenhouse with a working farm, cooking school and function location under a very long transparent roof.

The building takes place on a 20 -hectare land ownership with a view of Hepburn Springs and Mount Franklin and has a stack of prizes to his name, including the Australian House of the Year in 2019, as well as the coveted Robin Boyd Award.

Concerned by owners Ronnen Goren and Trace Streeter, the project realized their vision to build a place to live, farm and host under one roof.

“We had a vision and desire to live a little closer to our food source,” Mr. Goren told Realestate.com.au. “It combined our passions that were animals, nature, design, hospitality, entertainment and cooking.”

“Our philosophy was rooted in sustainability, hospitality and creativity.”

“We organize various participatory events, including cooking lessons, farm trips and workshops.”

Designed for self -supply, the smart structure of the house acts as a greenhouse, creating a microclimate that allows lush internal gardens to thrive, even in the midst of extreme temperature variations, while also harvesting rainwater in a tank of 340,000 liters.

The flowering gardens connect the most important components of the building and blur the lines between indoor and outdoor life.

At one end of the building is a house with two bedrooms known as the lodge, with its own kitchen, bathhouse and a sauna.

In the heart of the house is the vast kitchen with several wooden fire furnaces, as well as hosts.

The huge vegetable garden and fruit trees produce food all year round and the building supports small herds of cattle, goats and pigs. The power is supplied by a 25-Kilowatt solar panel and battery system.

Mr. Goren described the building as “the antidote for city life”.

“It is a very basic context, but at the same time even 10 years later brings an incredible amount of joy and pleasure,” he said.

“The house itself has so many different aspects, corners and holes that you continue to rediscover, and new parts of the house that you fall in love with.”

With plans for more trips and other projects in the pipeline, Mr. Goren said that the time had come for someone else to leave his mark on the building.

“We are now at a stage where the time is ripe to pass on the inheritance of what we have created,” he said.

Mr. Goren said that the property could be further developed by the next owner.

“It was designed with future possibilities for a new home under the roof,” he said.

“It has a lot of potential, depending on who the next custodian is, and the vision they bring for the project.”

Daylesford Real Agent Kim McQueen deals with the sale of the house, with a price guide of $ 7.5-8.2 million.

“It’s different from any other house in Australia, or probably the world,” she said.

Mrs. McQueen said that the internal setup was reminiscent of “a series of Cubbyhuizen” connected by hidden wooden stairs.

“If you are in it, it is surreal,” she said. “You don’t know if you are inside or outside.”

The property has a series of potential buyers, said Mrs. McQueen, including families and company operators.

“It would be great for an extensive family to own the building and has enough room for everyone to spread and enjoy themselves,” she said.

“Likewise it can be someone who wants to run it as a commercial enterprise.”
