Designed by Australian practice Partners Hill, the celebrated Daylesford Longhouse is a rare example of architecture, agriculture and hospitality coexisting under one roof. Set on 8.5 hectares in Elevated Plains, Victoria, the 110m-long structure was named ‘Australian House of the Year’ and received the Robin Boyd Award for Residential Architecture in 2019.

The bioclimatic design brings the landscape indoors. Within the shed’s protective skin, a lush internal garden thrives — home to a productive farm, cooking school and private residence. Inside, rooms unfold around an expansive greenhouse courtyard, complete with a pond, fire pit and sauna. The interiors merge domestic life and rural enterprise, encouraging seasonal living and connection to the land.

Beyond its architectural ingenuity, the property is self-sustaining by design. Rainwater is collected and stored, while the internal microclimate shields crops and native plantings from Victoria’s volatile weather. The result is a living ecosystem that blurs boundaries between house and farm.

Located near Daylesford, Hepburn Springs and Mt Franklin, the property offers sweeping views of the surrounding bushland. The home is on the market for AUD$6.75m.
