A home designed for sustainable offgrid living.
Built only three years ago by award-winning sustainable custom home builders, 360 Building Solutions, to a SolarCert architectural design, this striking contemporary residence has been carefully conceived around Passivhaus principles, energy efficiency, thermal comfort and healthy indoor living. The bold black exterior gives the home a distinctive architectural presence, while behind the facade is a highly considered building envelope designed to maintain a comfortable internal environment year-round. The entire home has been thoroughly insulated, all external and internal walls along with the ceiling, under concrete slab and edge of slab insulation. An impressive airtightness result of just 2.8 air changes at 50 pascals is complemented by a Brink heat recovery ventilation system with multi-stage healthy-home filtration, helping deliver fresh, filtered air while minimising energy loss.
Inside, the sense of space is immediate. Four-metre raked ceilings and clerestory windows capture an abundance of beautiful northern light, creating warm, naturally illuminated living spaces while reducing reliance on artificial lighting. A dramatic lift-and-slide door opens the main living area to the outdoors, creating a seamless connection between the kitchen, dining, living and surrounding landscape. The result is a home that feels equally at ease entertaining family and friends or simply enjoying the quiet of its natural setting.
The thoughtfully designed floorplan includes four generous bedrooms, with the luxurious master suite featuring a vaulted ceiling, generous walk-in robe and spacious ensuite. A large walk-in pantry, mudroom and well-appointed laundry add exceptional practicality to everyday life. Big Ass Fans in the bedrooms, with additional fans throughout the living and dining areas, provide efficient passive cooling and airflow, while a 6.5kW split-system provides additional comfort when required.
Genuine energy independence.
This is not simply an energy-efficient home - it is completely off-grid, offering an extraordinary level of energy independence and resilience. The property is equipped with an impressive 18kW solar generation system comprising 48 ground-mounted panels, supported by a substantial 55kWh battery bank. Twin 10kVA Quattro inverters and twin Fronius 10kW solar inverters maximise the system's capability, while a 17.6kVA backup generator provides additional security when required. For the environmentally conscious buyer, this infrastructure offers the opportunity to live with a significantly reduced reliance on traditional energy networks while enjoying the comfort and convenience of a modern home.
Water security by design.
Water independence has been given the same careful consideration. The property provides 100,000 litres of rainwater storage, with multi-stage filtration to PM2.5 and PM0.1 levels, together with UV treatment for high-quality household water. A 0.4-megalitre dam provides an additional water resource, complementing the property's broader approach to self-sufficient rural living.
Thoughtful materials and future-ready infrastructure.
Sustainability has been considered throughout the construction, including the use of a Cupolex slab system, manufactured from non-toxic, post-consumer and hard-to-recycle polypropylene plastic. The garage has also been future-proofed, with cabling already installed for two EV charging points, supporting both three-phase and single-phase connections. With approximately seven years of builder's warranty remaining, this is an exceptionally well-considered home for buyers seeking the freedom of rural living without compromising on contemporary design, comfort or environmental responsibility.
A lifestyle with the best of both worlds.
A useful 25 square metre studio is positioned to overlook the dam while being positioned to allow for privacy from the house. It is fully insulated, and has uPVC double glazing and a 5,000L water tank, it is a flexible extra space for a home office, guest retreat or creative studio. Located approximately 9km from the centre of Queanbeyan, Carwoola offers a rare sense of space and tranquillity while remaining remarkably convenient to the city. Whether it is collecting dinner from one of Queanbeyan's many cafe's and restaurants and being home while it is still piping hot, accessing school bus services to Canberra and Queanbeyan, or making the short drive into Canberra, everyday convenience is surprisingly close at hand.
