Located in Frankston South on Bunurong Country and backing onto the regionally significant Narringalling (Sweetwater Creek), Sweetwater House provides flexibility and respite for a maturing family. Built during Melbourne’s Covid lockdowns, the home exemplifies low-cost, multi-generational and sustainable living while also telling a story of personal and ecological renewal.
