17 Monks Avenue

Perched on a no-through road to serve 50 sun-setting shades of orange, the soul soothes well before you even step inside this 2007-built home that takes the 'garden to plate' aspirations of a growing family to a magical place. In a quiet estate that was once home to a potato farm, it's only fitting this solar-powered home gives inquisitive kids a lifelong lesson in permaculture, sustainability and the long-lost bliss of picking something fresh and eating it seconds later.

The home itself carves out a neat, deceptively spacious base between its carefully curated front and rear gardens, giving you a colourful, ever-changing outlook from its two living zones and three bedrooms, one with walk-in robe and ensuite. A front sitting room offers a peaceful slice of refuge with a wide eye on the wind-breaking macadamia and walnut trees of the front yard.

The family room and bay-windowed kitchen use their prolific glazing to almost bring the rear garden to you, drawing you past the covered pergola and into an edible world unto its own. And what a world it is… Apples, plums, nectarines, peaches, figs and mulberries are just part of a productive plot that turns the passing seasons into something to taste, with cherries taking their turn, macadamias waiting in the wings and lemons keeping the kitchen supplied year-round.

A bird-protected orchard safeguards the harvest, bees work their pollinating magic and bluebells bring their own splash of colour to a 'food forest' with something happening at every height. There's a deck for simply sitting and watching it all unfold, perhaps with a morning cuppa while the kids inspect what's ripened overnight and decide what's coming inside for breakfast.

The kitchen's generous bench space, dishwasher and walk-in pantry make light work of whatever the garden sends your way, keeping the cook connected to the family and the source of the next meal firmly in view. With three rainwater tanks supporting the garden, solar helping power the home and ducted air conditioning tempering the Hills seasons, there's substance behind this gentler way of living.

All wrapped up in Littlehampton's village setting, where the countryside on the horizon feels like an extension of your own backyard and the most rewarding part of coming home might just be seeing what's ready to pick. Life tastes a little sweeter here. More to love:
