Welcome to 'Mud Farm', an extraordinary mud brick sanctuary tucked quietly away on 4 hectares (10 acres*), hidden from the world beyond Factory Road. This is not a property that can be measured simply by bedrooms, bathrooms or acreage - it is a place that must be felt.
The mud bricks were made from the very earth beneath your feet. The natural live timber poles rise through the interior like sculptures of the forest itself. Every custom Tallowood and Blackbutt window frames a living artwork - sunlight dancing through trees, birds moving across the sky, native wildlife and the ever changing beauty of a private established garden.
‘Mud Farm’ has been the cherished retreat of two remarkable creatives - a world renowned children’s author and illustrator, and a musician and artist. Their influence can be felt in every corner: in the warmth of the spaces, the flow of the home, and the unmistakable energy that causes visitors to pause and say, “This place just feels so good.”
At the heart of the home, a beautifully renovated kitchen invites long lunches and late night conversations, with stone benches, a gas cooktop, gas oven, and double dishwasher. Polished concrete floors ground the space with natural elegance, while a crackling wood fire creates a sense of comfort.
The master suite is a peaceful haven, complete with a walk-in robe, renovated ensuite, and direct access to the expansive deck - the perfect place to greet the morning with a cup of tea and the sound of birdsong. Downstairs also offers a fourth bedroom/office and a renovated bathroom, while upstairs unfolds into a loft-style retreat with two additional bedrooms and an activity room that feels made for creativity, reading, music, or simply dreaming.
Step outside, and the adventure continues.
A vast deck gazes over the private, fully fenced yard, where children and pets can roam freely - a beautiful setting that has already played host to a wedding and countless cherished family celebrations. Beyond, walking paths wind through the property, leading you past an orchard abundant with orange, lemonade, lime, guava, mango, grapefruit, bush apple, cumquat and macadamia trees. Three dams reflect the sky, while a concrete lagoon style pool and pizza oven promise endless summers shared with family and friends.
The property also includes a self contained studio accommodation space - open plan with polished concrete floors, ceiling fans, power, TV antenna, and its own separate shower and toilet which is ideal for guests, extended family, or an inspiring creative retreat. A separate work studio and machinery shed is the place where the many books and paintings were dreamt up.

‘Mud Farm’ is not for everyone - and that is exactly why it is so special.
It is for the nature lover. The artist. The musician. The family who wants their children to grow up climbing trees, picking fruit, swimming under the stars, and learning that a home can be a place of inspiration as much as shelter.
If you have been searching for a property with an extraordinary vibe, a rare sense of peace, and a story waiting for its next chapter, this may be the home that has been waiting for you.
