A Resident’s Perspective

“The clearest way into the Universe is through a forest wilderness … there with forest trees in Nature’s work-shops”, John Muir. As a recent custodian, I have been the beneficiary of this magical and nurturing wilderness. The four ridges are characterised by Eucalypt Forest, Rainforest and woodlands. The watersheds create seasonal running creeks and waterfalls into London Creek. It is home to the endangered Giant barred frog and the threatened Richmond birdwing butterfly. The tracks throughout have been maintained with civic drains, erosion control vegetation, kept mowed rather than disturbing the soil surface and drainage throughout has been sorted with the help of the Land for Wildlife Council Grants. The dwelling straddles the largest ridge. From its elevated position, a number of the iconic Glasshouse Mountains loom large on the horizon. The southerly aspect slopes away allowing for the uninterrupted sight lines over the tree canopy, visible from the south-facing, glass walls. The house is architecturally designed by Noel Gardner and follows passive solar design principles. Whilst the floor is on one connected level the ceilings are tall and oblique bouncing the light throughout.

The under-floor poles are engineered to produce one seamless level across the ridge. The four covered decks function in different ways: a breezeway, a winter sun room, a summer al fresco area, a respite from the western sun.

At different times of the year a variety of birds, reptiles and animals use the environment as a sanctuary. Some of the most memorable have been during the black cockatoo season. One becomes acutely aware of the refuge this wildlife corridor is for flocks of these large birds. Their slow downward woosh of wings generating upward thrust, together with their distinctive calls at feeding time are a reminder that one is in a wild place and natural inhabitants are not bothered by humans dwelling here.

The next residents of The Wild 100 will no doubt find their own unique and inspirational life in this home overlooking the forests and woodlands that is now being offered for sale.
