On a lush hillside, in the heart of The Channon Village is a precious gem. A home, now for sale that combines building with wild creativity, daring with resourcefulness and ancient tradition with innovation, in a living, breathing, work of art. This is no ordinary house; built with local basalt, designed for the contours of the land, the foundations were dug by hand. Structural walls, almost a meter thick extend down to sit on the sandstone bedrock beneath. The weight of the structure is balanced by four graceful catenary arches along with the upward thrust of the roofline and many windows that flood the building with light. The driveway in, curves past rock-walled terraces to a carport, turning circle and sandstone path to the house. Gardens extend above and beyond, a magical pocket of rainforest opens out below. Alternatively, the house may be reached by sandstone steps from the rock- walled carpark on Nimbin Street. The way is lit overhead by delicate flower like lights. This descen
