About:
Sean and Mandy settled in Northern Tasmania in 2008 after many years of travelling and working across Australia.
They first renovated a 1950s weatherboard house using sustainable techniques and materials. This was followed by a rental property renovated in the same way.
After being introduced to the properties of hempcrete they decided if the right block came up for sale they would downsize and owner build a small hempcrete home.
The right block did eventuate and the building process started in 2019. They moved into the house in late 2020.
In 2021 Sean and Mandy decided to start running eco home and lifestyle tours.
The two renovations and the build were all documented on our informative blogs. Click here for blogs.
