About this place

Passive Solar House - Coastal & Wildlife Park Views - EV charger

Soak up the sun and sea air at this unique beach getaway. This 7.6-star passive solar home (as featured in the Sustainable House Day 2024 & 2025) is nestled on a grassy hill overlooking sand dunes, with ocean or park views from every window. On your doorstep are the delights of the Cape Ecovillage - the playground, farm, amphitheatre, sports precinct, wetlands and more. The charming coastal village of Cape Paterson and its stunning beaches are all within a 1.5km walk or ride.

The eco features of the house include smart orientation, shading, glazing, insulation and thermal mass, which result in comfortable and serene living spaces all year round. It's ideal for two smaller families, a larger extended family, four couples, or a group of friends.

Owner

English
We're Rebecca & Kieran and we live in Melbourne with our three children. We love travel, nature, art, music, food and sport. We fell in love with the Cape Ecovillage the moment we discovered it several years ago and we hope you love it too! We designed and built the Eco Beach House in 2022-23, with the help of many local artisans. It’s our little slice of heaven where we get away from the city to relax, unwind and spend time immersed in nature.
