MINERAL water entrepreneur Mitch Watson is selling his Daylesford home — a sustainable masterpiece by renowned designer Joost Bakker.
The remarkable “Green House” at 50A Railway Cres was built for Mr Watson, the co-founder of Daylesford & Hepburn Mineral Springs, about seven years ago.

There are stunning natural vistas around the home.
Set on 3ha and featuring Bakker’s trademark green grass roof, the striking three-bedroom home is being offered for private sale with a price guide of about $1.45 million.
Jellis Craig, Macedon Ranges, selling agent Tom May said the house was built with recycled bricks and hay bales for insulation, and used “passive-solar principles” to keep it cool in summer and warm in winter.

The home has stunning interiors.
“As far as a carbon footprint goes, it’s very neutral,” he said.
Mr May said sustainable design was important to Mr Watson, who is also a director of Hepburn Wind — owner and operator of the Leonard Hills wind farm.
The home is two minutes from the centre of Daylesford and boasts luxurious fittings, including Miele appliances in the kitchen, a dual-opening Cheminees Philippe fireplace between the dining and lounge rooms, and European thermal windows and doors.

The sustainable design is a key part of the property.
Mr Watson is selling the stunner to divide his time between Melbourne and the country.
His business, founded in 2006, manufactures sparkling water, flavoured mineral water, juices, organic soft drinks and other products.
