What could possibly be Darwin’s most eco-friendly home is being offered for sale by Ray White City (NT).
The three bedroom home commonly referred to as the Inside-Out House at 70 May Court, Humpty Doo, is being marketed by Ray White City’s (NT) Nicole Turner.
Ms Turner said the eco-friendly house on an approximately 6.5 acres is ideal for those who love the outdoors and tropical living but are also mindful of their carbon footprint.
“This new uniquely designed house in rural Humpty Doo has been built by Tropix Homes and offers all of the creature comforts expected in a three bedroom home as well as the important sustainable inclusions to offer the ultimate green lifestyle,” she said.
“The semi-elevated house design allows for cooling through under floor ventilation and a separated roof and ventilated eaves allow the NT heat to escape.
“The house has been built so the sun hits the smallest part of the house to minimise heat exposure and reduce air-conditioning bills.
“The kitchen features stone bench tops, while there’s extensive use of jarrah hardwood timber and high end finishes throughout the home.
“The property features a black water treatment system called an Aqua Nova which feeds four dripper systems and can be moved to suit the requirements of the owner.
“This black water treatment together with the bore provides effortless automatic irrigation which irrigates the entire garden including the fruit trees.
“There’s a solar hot water system and the building construction is lightweight to ensure quick cooling.”
Ms Turner said the dividing outdoor walkway separates sleeping and living appropriately to provide privacy as well as highlighting the outside-in experience.
“The outdoor bathroom also provides the ultimate tropical living experience while maintaining complete privacy,” she said.
The property is situated on a secluded battle axe block that’s fully fenced and adjoins a crown land reserve with a freshwater swimming creek.
“The outdoor area includes a 5m x 4m secure workshop and a garden shed,” she said.
The three bedroom, two bathroom Inside-Out House is being offered for sale via auction on-site at 11am on Saturday April 18, 2015.
