Description

Twilight Brae is brand new, built as an experimental prefabricated home with high performance passive-solar design and high quality finishes. The resulting home includes low toxicity materials, low environmental footprint, high durability and longevity, and a wonderfully livable house. Experience the natural light flooding the home, natural heating and cooling all year round, self sufficiency of solar panels and rainwater collection.

The northerly view takes advantage of the warming winter sun and provides shade from the summer heat. The home is set on 14 acres, with a mix of open pasture, including a dam full of frogs and other wildlife, and remnant wandoo bushland. The spectular wandoo provide an all year round display of ever changing colours in its trunk - cooling greys in summer to rich sunset colours in winter.

Experience free range

Less than 1 hour from Perth city, easily escape for the weekend. Simply enjoy being at Twilight Brae. Become free range. Explore the 14 acres, allow the kids, the dog or yourself to run free through the pastures. Explore the hidden ravines and rock waterfalls on the property. Walk through the bush reserve adjoining the property, or explore the railway reserve with its unique and protected flora. Why not bring the mountain bikes too?

We are a Land For Wildlife property and we aim to protect and nurture our environment. Watch for abundant birdlife, kangaroos, possums and even microbats in the evening. We do ask you to keep your eyes on the ground when out walking - just in case you come across our legless friends!

  • "My husband, and 3 kids [10,7,5yrs] and I booked 3 nights and extended for a 4th at the newly built Twilight Brae at the end of September. The views were green [end of winter], expansive [east to the hills and rural scenes and north into the Wandoo trees] and very 'Australian'. This eco-house is contemporary, and well-laid out for our young family with it's open plan bedrooms, fabulous kitchen, with a large deck with bbq, with its obvious and conscious consideration of the environment, the use of sustainable materials, water collection, and its active and passive solar systems. We loved the fire ring for bonfires [between May-Oct], the walks along the railway reserve at the east of the land, and the relaxed nature of the house. Well-done to the owners."

  • "What a gorgeous house, so inspiring. We took our dog and were expecting to go bush walking but unfortunately poochie hurt his paw and we were housebound. Lucky for us we could open the massive bi-folds, laze in the hammocks overlooking the beautiful tree tops and read books all day. This is a place we will be back to! Gorgeous, congratulations on a lovely property. Next time it will be for much longer than 2 days though!"
