A four-bedroom farmhouse at 220 Buckley Rd North, Buckley, has hit the market with walls made from hemp, a carbon-negative material. The 65ha property was rebuilt over four years and includes a magnesium pool, four dams, eight paddocks and a self-contained unit. The owner says the hemp walls keep the house quiet, stable in temperature and free of condensation and mould. The design takes cues from Swiss gables and includes a north-facing roof angled for future solar panels. The property is priced between $3.3m and $3.6m, with expressions of interest closing October 20. Buyers get a low-maintenance build, but the bigger story is whether hemp construction can move beyond one-off luxury homes into standard housing.
