'Belungri' - The Home Amongst The Gumtrees

Perched high holding a commanding position, 'Belungri' is an architecturally designed sanctuary by notable Newcastle-based architect Matt Hull of Design Pad. Spanning a vast landscape, this off-grid retreat embraces privacy, nature and breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding mountain ranges.

As an idyllic weekender, a welcoming family home, or an enticing short-term rental, 'Belungri' presents a rare opportunity to own a piece of secluded paradise. Imagine cozy nights by the fire pit, sharing stories under a sky full of stars, or waking up to misty mountain sunrises with nothing but nature as your neighbour.

Thoughtfully designed with solar-passive principles, the residence is connected by a breezeway that links the main living, dining, and kitchen space with the master suite. Polished concrete floors provide a contemporary, low-maintenance finish, while ambient lighting and architecturally designed awnings allow natural light to shift beautifully throughout the day. The breezeway itself acts as an outdoor entertaining space, perfectly framing the sweeping valley views like a living masterpiece.

The master bedroom, complete with built-in robes, enjoys direct access to a two-way bathroom, maintaining both convenience and privacy. An external undercover laundry enhances the home's practicality.

Beyond the main residence, a separate multi-use studio space sits elevated above the landscape, accessed via stairs rising past retaining walls. This retreat-ideal as an art studio, library, or additional living quarters-features another two-way bathroom and is perfectly suited for a murphy bed or similar flexible living setup. Whether used for dual occupancy, a caretaker's quarters, or a private retreat for visiting family, this additional space provides endless opportunities. A well-positioned shed provides additional storage, catering to those seeking both adventure and sustainability.

For those seeking a truly private and self-sufficient sanctuary, 'Belungri' is an extraordinary opportunity to live in sync with the land.
