From its solar performance to its remarkably productive gardens, this warm and inviting home in Prebbleton's Sterling Park sets the standard for sustainable living.

Built in 2013 by Peter Ray Homes, this adapted design trades the original three-bedroom layout for two bedrooms and two living areas, with the versatility to convert the second living into guest accommodation if required.

A large modern kitchen, complete with walk-in pantry, anchors the open-plan dining and living zone where a window seat frames garden views. Sheltered beneath an Archgola, the outdoor kitchen and dining space opens from the bi-folds, pairing a family-sized spa with room for year-round entertaining.

Of the home's two bathrooms, one belongs to the generous master, also with a walk-in wardrobe. This bedroom also opens directly to the outdoors and spa pool.

Seasonal comfort is delivered by an eco-wood burner, gas fire, and two heat pumps, while extensive storage solutions ensure every necessity finds its place.

Sustainability is central to this property, underpinned by a Tesla solar system (installed May 2022) with 26 high-output panels.
The grounds are a model of self-sufficiency, featuring an extensive orchard of fruit and nut trees, productive vegetable gardens, berry plantings and herbs, supported by two tunnel houses with automated irrigation from rainwater harvesting systems.

Potting sheds, composting stations, a home distilling set-up and multiple storage sheds enhance its productive capability, while two hens (Shirley and Mrs C.) in an enclosed run, provide fresh eggs.

Vehicle storage extends beyond the internal-access double garage, with a second Archgola carport offering added covered capacity.

Privately set at the end of a cul-de-sac, this home enjoys a genuine sense of community, all while keeping the city's conveniences and airport run within easy reach.

From food production to energy efficiency, every element has been crafted to reduce environmental impact and optimize home-comforts, while maximising productivity and year-round enjoyment.
