About this property

Off grid tranquillity with beautiful views and no other house in sight

  • Dramatic sustainable house designed for his own dwelling and holiday rental by Philip Boorman who has many awards for his outstanding Architectural work and furniture designs.

    Located on the escarpment in the centre of the 125 acre site. This privileged isolation has allowed the house design to be opened to the expansive surrounding valley and mountains by the extensive use of timber framed bi-fold doors and windows. Solar panels generate the power supply and roof water is collected in tanks for filtered reuse within the home.

The Eco Lodge is fabulous and has everything you need on-site to enjoy a relaxing stay. From cooking utensils to allowing pets on-site, we love it here. It is relaxing beyond belief yet there is a local store minutes away if required. Thank you again for a holiday which will never be forgotten.

We had a great stay at this well designed house. It was very clean, comfortable & exactly as described in the listing. It had stunning sunset views from the side of the house. No ceiling fans in the bedrooms, but did have pedestal fans available. Wifi very minimal.We’d definitely recommend this house and would stay again.

The lodge is our favourite holiday accommodation in all of the world! Surrounded by forest and with wonderful views of the Obi Obi valley and not another house in sight. We really love the drive down through the bush on our own private road to reach this private, off-grid, peaceful refuge. Mary and Warwick are perfect hosts and ensure that everything is just right. Thank you both for providing this paradise which enables us to relax and recharge our very souls.We can't wait to be back.
