If you’re after minimalistic living, then look no further.

The Zigzag Cabin at Lot 16 Rocky Creek Road in Wollombi, New South Wales, could quite possibly be Australia’s tiniest home.

“Conceived through a single beer coaster sketch” by architect Drew Heath, as stated on the listing by Musgrove Realty, the property consists of a nine-square-metre sleeping zone, an outdoor kitchen and dining area, and an elevated 15-square-metre deck.

On offer with a price guide of $730,000 to $770,000, the one-bedroom, one-bathroom home is situated on a 42-hectare lot and boasts 360 degree views of natural bushland.

The buyer will first be greeted by the property’s undercover, outdoor kitchen and dining area, that is weather-proof and constructed of sandstone rocks.

An elevated 15-square-metre deck is also ideal for entertaining and offers views over the valleys and mountain ranges.

The main residence consists of a “twisted, off-centre hardwood frame”, that features zigzag window openings and blends in with the natural surrounds with its colour palette.

What could quite possibly make the property the tiniest home in Australia is the nine-square-metre structure that’s designed for three people to sleep in.
