The Bandicoot House
This brand new eco-spec home was built by the multi-award winning local builder, Jaymac Constructions. This dynamic builder has completed 3 stylish and stunning homes in The Ecovillage - all are outstanding examples of sustainable design and construction. One Jaymac project was an award winning home named as the Gold Coast City's Innovation House 3 which was open for display for some 12 months for Gold Coast public to learn about sustainable building and living.
The block is elevated and has superb views of Currumbin Valley. The high aspect accesses prevailing north-easerly breezes and the homes' design incorporates loads of opening windows and doors to take full advantage.
Bandicoot House is 2 master-sized bedrooms and another bedroom / study / media room. The ultimate master is massive and enjoying panoramic views of the valley framed in am entire wall of stacking doors. The adjoining walkthrough dressing area has your robes fully installed and stunning white lacquer doors ensure a neat tidy area.
The bathrooms are a neutral white pallette waiting for your style and colour to be added to the blank canvas. Clever design in the second bathroom is a galley-style room separating the functional areas making them accessible even if being used.
This is a contemporary home - modern in design and finishes. The gourmet kitchen needs to be seen to be appreciated. High quality Italian Ilve gas cooktop and oven are standouts and the size and benchtops will not disappoint even a prolific cook. An intenal / external rock sliver facade wall creates an aesthetic thermal mass and the use of rich timbers combined with the rock soften and give a natural feel. The combination is flattering indeed.
The recycled and now quite rare brush-box flooring can no doubt tell stories of the Coolangatta Guest House that it was salvaged and upcycled from. Recycled Ironbark hardwood has been used for the fascias and joists as well as stairs and handrails. The entry doors are lovely recycled ones and a most wonderful feature.
A handy utility room houses comms equipment (fibre optic cabling throughout the estate feeds telephone, internet and tv service) and will be a great storage room. There is a double lock up garage with remote controlled roll up door. Intercom, security and vacuum systems make life easier.
The home is insulated under floor, all external walls and in the ceiling. It well exceeds the State Building Code requirements for insulation and catering for climatic comfort through the year and saving on those huge heating and cooling bills.
A 2.3kW pv system generates power from the sun. This is a large system which should adequately cater for a households needs and render the home self-sufficient in energy. Imagine - no nasty power bills. A split storage solar hot water system has a gas booster on the tank which will give instant hot water at a low cost even if the sun doesn't shine.
Water tanks provide direct flow crystal clear rainwater and are positioned under the house (no dead water). On a thoughtful note, a water filter is already installed by the builder under the kitchen bench. The Ecovillage estate is completely water self-sufficient utilising rainwater for potable supply at homes and then 100% of your used water treated and recycled back to you. There are no Council water or sewerage rates.
The kitchen has energy efficient double drawer dishwasher, ducted rangehood and European appliances.
There is an internal / external speaker system installed and allowance has been made for future satellite pay tv. There are ceiling fans to all rooms and the breezeway.
This home has so many features - it needs to be seen to be believed and lived in for the real experience! This builder is renowned for attention to detail on finishes and this home is no disappointment.
Gardens have been landscaped and yet to be called 'established' but have many natives to attract birds - of which there are some 148 documented species in the village. The breezeway of this home with it's vast views offer a great vantage point for birdwatching.
