23 Monash Street, Newstead, VIC 3462

Step into a world where creativity and nature come together at this one-of-a-kind Newstead property. Lovingly handcrafted from mud brick and recycled natural materials, this home radiates warmth, character and soul. Every element - from the rustic timber posts to the organic textures - tells a story, creating a peaceful haven deeply connected to its surroundings. The spacious open-plan living and dining area is bathed in natural light, with soaring timber ceilings and an earthy slate floor grounding the space. A generous sunroom provides a flexible area for creative pursuits, a home office or a welcoming family retreat. The kitchen blends seamlessly with the home’s rustic charm - not flashy, but functional and inviting, designed for cooking, creating and connecting. Each bedroom has its own personality: the master features a built-in robe, the second includes built-in shelving and the third offers a delightful mezzanine reading nook. Outdoors, the property rests on approximately three acres backed by natural bushland. The land is well-fenced into two sections - one with a dam plus a further smaller yard at the rear of the home is ideal for pets. There are also single and double carports for convenience. Originally built as an artist’s studio, the large outbuilding offers endless possibilities - use it for storage, hobbies or as a workshop. It includes a raised platform accessed by a timber staircase, adding another creative dimension to the space. More than a home, this is a living piece of art - a soulful sanctuary ready to inspire its next creative custodian. Additional Features: • Recycled monastery-style and clerestory windows designed to maximise natural light • Reverse-cycle split system and solid-fuel heater for year-round comfort • Ample rainwater storage • Township zoning for possible future development (STCA)
