Recycled materials have brought new life to this commanding Ventnor home.

The U-shaped five-bedroom house at 79 Graydens Road is on the market for $1.2m.

Exposed truss ceilings were custom built on site using ironbark from Melbourne’s Central Pier at the house, which also features vintage wagon wheels for chandeliers.

Ray White Phillip Island agent Bec Anderson labelled the site “an incredible home”.

“This would be the perfect place for those looking to escape the inner city and enjoy the tranquillity of this location,” Ms Anderson said.

The tradie owner built the home with a focus on recycled materials and blend of rustic charm and modern convenience.

A bold tallowwood bedhead in the main bedroom was created with timber from a Queensland bridge, while other earthy materials used include limestone, bloodwood and bluestone.

“The home has been constructed using an impressive selection of timbers and stone, creating an earthy and rustic vibe,” Ms Anderson said. “It has great potential for those with an interest in permaculture and self sufficiency.”
