Haynes says on the listing that each dwelling “offers a unique and unforgettable living experience”.

The primary residence contains two bedrooms, a front verandah, and what’s described on the listing as a “breathtaking earthbag dome”.

Campaign photos reveal an igloo-like property that’s adjacent to the residence. Earthbag construction involves filling polypropylene bags with either local soil or natural materials and stacking them on top of one another.

The second dwelling is a converted shipping container with a kitchen, bathroom and bedroom behind a partition wall. An outdoor deck and fire pit is an ideal spot to kick back and relax.

Also part of the package is a third build, described on the listing as a “spectacularly crafted habitat”, with a kitchen and bathroom. The dwelling consists of corrugated iron and stone, offering a “sensual dance between rural and industrial designs”.

The listing states that the properties have leases in place, with an income stream of $985 per week across the three dwellings.
