'Ikigai House', longevity of life, build, and planet. Seventy metres back from Laguna Grove and unseen from the road, a gated drive winds through the trees to the house. Completed this year on 1.454 hectares in a koala conservation area, the house unfolds on one level around landscaped courtyards. Every room faces north, and Verrierdale Nature Reserve runs along the rear boundary.
The name comes from the Japanese idea of a reason for being, or meaning of life. Koselig Design Studio shaped the house, its interiors and its styling around a simple intent: to last, to sit lightly on the land, and to grow with those who live in it. From the porch, the entry opens to a long gallery that links every part of the home. Ahead, the kitchen leads the living wing, with crystalline silica-free stone, Bosch induction, Fisher & Paykel pyrolytic and combi-steam ovens, two integrated dishwashers, a butler's pantry and a dual-zone wine cellar.
Beyond it, living and dining sit beneath a raked ceiling of 3.4 metres, warmed by a freestanding wood fireplace, with windows placed for winter sun and cross-breezes. An arboured verandah runs alongside to the spotted gum deck, outdoor kitchen and Artusi barbecue, then on to the heated magnesium mineral pool and spa, with steps down to the grass terrace.
The gallery divides the rest of the home into two quiet wings. At one end, past the media lounge and a garden courtyard, the master suite sits apart beneath a 3.1 metre raked ceiling, with its own wardrobe and ensuite. At the other, three bedrooms share a bathroom with a freestanding bath, and the laundry and double garage lie beyond. By the entry are a study and powder room. Bathrooms are finished in Artedomus Sugie Series tiles, Milli Etch tapware and Robert Gordon basins, and the powder room carries a custom marble pedestal basin.
Single-level by intent, the home is crafted for every stage of life. It is built to the Livable Housing Design Standard with step-free entry, wider doorways and hallways, and step-free showers. The house holds a 7-star NatHERS rating. Burnished concrete and Woodcut engineered oak floors, VOC-free limewashed walls and joinery in Victorian Ash keep the palette quiet so the landscape leads, with lighting sourced from Australia, Denmark, Spain and Mexico.
The gardens are by Darin Bradbury of MINT Pool + Landscape Design: more than 1,000 plants across five zones, layered so the house softens into garden and the garden into rainforest, with a dam, fire pit, lighting throughout and bore-fed irrigation. Much of the thinking sits out of sight. Solar with a 16kWh battery provides whole-home backup, Home Assistant brings climate, security, irrigation and energy onto a single dashboard, and rainwater passes through multistage filtration with UV. A separate 6m x 6m workshed and further parking complete the grounds, with an EV charger in the garage.
Private and finished down to the garden lighting, Ikigai House conveniently sits 7 minutes drive from Eumundi, 10 minutes from Noosaville and the river, and 18 minutes from Hastings Street. A home of this standard, complete and on land of this scale, rarely comes to the Noosa hinterland.
