On Top Of The Hills And Down To Earth | Wallis Lake House

ByMyProperty Life

Perched on the shores of Wallis Lake on Australia’s NSW Mid-North Coast, the Wallis Lake House by Matthew Woodward Architecture offers breathtaking panoramic views of water, mountains, and sky. Designed as an experimental yet highly functional retreat, this contemporary home captures the northern sun, welcomes cooling sea breezes, and blends seamlessly into its surroundings with a green roof and cultivated landscaping.

Inside, the house embraces both comfort and connection to nature, providing open spaces for gathering and quiet corners for reflection. Large windows frame the lake’s changing moods — from glassy pink sunsets to misty ocean mornings rolling over Booti Booti National Park. Sustainable living is at the heart of its design, with fresh produce from the roof garden supporting a self-sufficient lifestyle.

  • The Francis Residence, 1952

    Willard Hall Francis, Architect The Francis Residence, 1952. Located on 3/5 of an acre in the highly-desirable Crestwood Hills neighborhood of Brentwood, this vintage mid-century modern home is preserved in time, cherished in its original condition and ready for the next steward to be brought lovingly into the new millennium. The open plan is organized around a central atrium, with floor-to-ceiling glass and clerestory windows bringing natural light into every room. A wood-burning fireplace warms the public spaces, and each room is articulated with old-growth redwood siding, authentic cabinetry and custom built-ins. Down to the last detail, the classic tile, antique hardware and rare light fixtures remain intact. While the large site with more than half an acre appears to provide ample room for additions, remodeling, a second story and even larger development opportunities, the existing home most likely qualifies for historic landmark registration and attendant property tax benefits.
