Exclusive Mudbrick home in Preston, Melbourne.
Ready to start swapping from June-July 2023.
A unique opportunity to taste life in a homely, natural, and healthy house.
This centrally located property is close to the City Centre, great public transport options with tram, train and bus, leafy, quiet, and popular location is sure to provide you with a memorable experience in the wonderful city of Melbourne.
The house has been recently built from a sustainable, environmental, passive house and healthy perspective. It offers 3 generous bedrooms, large, open living dining and kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and exterior areas. The Gibney-Gutierrez Family have been busy over the past 2 years building this master project; basing themselves on natural and healthy building principles and energy efficiency. Exclusively salvaged and recycled materials have been used with an emphasis on thermal performance and comfort.
The project hasn't quite finished with an upper level to complete, but the area on offer is perfect to ensure you have a relaxed and comfortable stay.
Will be uploading photos of the household very soon.

Sitges is a wonderful place to stay and we were able to walk into town and to the coastal beaches. We were very comfortable in the home and the swap was very successful. Thanks for a wonderful holiday in a beautiful part of Spain. Tracey, Bruce, Sean and MIkayla
