The Wilds: Where nature meets sophistication

Nestled along the lush Merri Creek, one of Beulah’s most luxurious residential developments, The Wilds, offers one of Northcote’s largest creek-front, resort-style houses, where nature meets urban sophistication. This extraordinary five-bedroom residence, spread over a sprawling 492 sqm of land, provides the rare opportunity to enjoy unparalleled views and direct access to the historic creek.

The design embodies the perfect fusion of luxury and sustainability, featuring an expansive layout, private gardens, and innovative, environmentally sustainable design (ESD) principles. Aspiring to set new benchmarks in design and innovation, this development is poised to become inner Melbourne’s first carbon-neutral detached housing project. With solar panels, fossil-fuel-free operations, and passive solar design, each home minimises its environmental impact while maximising energy efficiency and indoor comfort.

In a nod to the increasing demand for urban bathhouses and saunas, the purchaser of this impressive home can work with Beulah to create their own private outdoor sanctuary or a creekfront wellness retreat with an infrared sauna, hydrotherapy spa or plunge pool, to a bespoke home gym or studio. The thoughtfully designed interiors, featuring calming palettes and abundant natural light, blur the line between indoors and outdoors, further enhancing the biophilic experience.

The well-appointed house boasts a three-car basement garage with provision for electric vehicle charging, while bike racks will be available within common areas to encourage sustainable transport. There will also be space for a private wine cellar, for the entertainer at heart.

The house’s generous five-bedroom floor plan also features a flexible room for a home office, exercise space or creative studio. This offering forms part of Beulah’s innovative concept of tailored living, whereby buyers can customise their home to match their current lifestyle and future aspirations.

Adelene Teh, Beulah’s Executive Director, said the home offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to live so close to nature while enjoying the benefits of a resort-style home, also in close proximity to lifestyle amenities like retailers and restaurants, with the CBD a short tram ride away.

“The Wilds is incredibly rare in design, in that the collection consists of expansive detached houses with unprecedented frontage to the Merri Creek. The residence is the largest of the 15, offering one of the last remaining opportunities to secure not just a groundbreaking residence to call home, but a lifestyle that offers health, well-being and sustainability, with considered biophilic design not seen elsewhere in the inner North,” she said.

“The house’s design prioritises health and wellbeing, and was informed by extensive research, including insights from a study by esteemed environmental psychology Professor T. Hartig that looked into nature’s influence on mental restorative benefits. The lucky homeowner will enjoy a lifetime of these benefits, from reduced stress levels and increased creativity, to improved wellbeing and better sleep as a result of such closeness to nature.”

The home, listed at $5.2M, is the largest in a collection of 15 unique residences at The Wilds, with additional limited-release properties available starting from $2.8M. Construction is currently underway, with completion expected by 2025.
