Jane and Owen Thomson of NEAThouse set the industry benchmark with their award-winning, sustainably crafted timber homes — and this one can be yours.
A three-bedroom, two-bathroom home at No.15 Midway St has just hit the market, based on the builder’s NEATbox design, featuring an eight-star energy rating and some whimsical features.
Mrs Thompson said when designing the Midway Point home on this site, they aimed to build a house that would capture the beautiful water views over Orielton Lagoon, while maximising the opportunity to access north-facing solar gain.
She said the correct siting, along with thermally broken windows and the thermal mass of the concrete floor has helped this house achieve its impressive energy rating.
“We are proud that our Lumière 2026 is a healthy house; sustainable, beautiful and considered,” she said.

The Midway Point property includes some quite affordable upgrades and others that were more expensive to show how a NEAT home can be personalised to a potential client’s style, budget, needs and aesthetics.
Mrs Thompson said the home includes window decals, brushed copper tapware/Led free tapware; acknowledgement of country on the letterbox decal, linen non-toxic curtains, and timber pelmets, which are heat saving as well as a beautiful nod to Mid-Century modern design.
“We used local designers such as Xanderware and Axiom pendants and Lighthouse Signs, transforming a standard glass entrance door into a work of art with an Indigenous design decal by Lizzy Stageman,” she said.
“There is also a timber window seat and timber feature walls.”

Peterswald property representative Bryce Blacklow said the market responded positively to the home with multiple offers received in the first few days on the market.
Mr Blacklow said that at inspections, buyers appreciated some of the finer details, such as the spotted gum timber cladding, polished concrete flooring, feature lighting and high-quality tapware and fixtures.

“The level of care given to the smaller details has made a large impact and people really appreciate the quality,” he said.
“The main difference with this home compared to a “normal” house is that NEAThouse are all about sustainability and energy efficiency.
“I think people feel they are buying into something a little different and not just buying a house, but a NEAThouse, which brings not just a home to the buyer but a level of pride.
“It is common for buyers seeking a newer home to toss up between buying something new or near new, or to build.
“No.15 Midway St offers a unique blend of thoughtful design and premium finishes not typically found in existing properties.”
The property is listed for sale in the $835,000-plus price range.
