13 Gunyah Drive, Trentham, Vic 3458

This low-maintenance, high-performance linear north-facing home has been carefully crafted by Maxa Design to deliver comfort, efficiency and seamless connection to the surrounding landscape. Every element has been thoughtfully considered, all set within a private garden environment just a short walk from Trentham’s vibrant town centre.

Boasting an impressive 7.2-star energy rating, the home is oriented to maximise passive solar gain, with large north-facing double-glazed windows and sliding doors welcoming abundant natural light while providing garden access from most rooms. Concrete floors add both contemporary appeal and thermal mass, working in harmony with the home’s passive design principles. A dramatic raked ceiling crowns the open plan living, kitchen, and dining zone, enhancing the sense of space and airiness while drawing in natural light.

The flexible floorplan offers three spacious bedrooms plus a dedicated home office or optional fourth bedroom, along with generous storage throughout and a cleverly integrated Euro-style laundry. Every detail has been designed for practical, organised living without compromising on style.

Externally, the combination of Spotted Gum and Colorbond cladding delivers a warm yet contemporary aesthetic with outstanding durability and minimal upkeep. Inside, year-round comfort is assured through two-zone hydronic underfloor heating powered by electric heat pumps, complemented by ceiling fans for summer efficiency.

Sustainability features are seamlessly integrated, including a substantial 45,000L filtered water tank system connected to the whole house and a 3.6kW solar system to help offset energy use. Fixed wireless NBN and network cabling throughout ensure excellent connectivity for modern living and remote work.

Set on a private, native-planted one-acre block backing onto a seasonal winter creek, the property offers a peaceful natural outlook and strong indoor-outdoor connection. A semi-enclosed 28m² deck sits between the two living wings, complete with a kitchen servery, creating an inviting all-season entertaining space. A circular driveway, integrated double carport and garden shed further enhance the practicality of this thoughtfully designed home.

The result is a refined, energy-efficient residence that balances architectural integrity, environmental responsibility and everyday liveability in a tranquil setting. With Trentham’s eclectic mix of shops, eateries, primary school, childcare and essential services minutes away and Melbourne just over an hour, this is a home that offers both community connection and exceptional convenience.
