13 Snell Drive, GisborneVIC

Nestled in the heart of Gisborne, a quiet revolution in home design has arrived — and it's turning heads for all the right reasons.
13 Snell Drive isn’t just a new address — it’s a blueprint for the future of healthy, sustainable, and energy-efficient living. Developed by acclaimed Australian homebuilder CarbonLite, this is Gisborne’s first RubikHaus, and it represents a major leap forward in residential design.

Built to the world-renowned Passive House Standard, this home offers a level of comfort, efficiency and indoor air quality that traditional homes simply can’t match. It boasts an exceptional 8.5-star energy rating, thanks to features like a 6.6kW solar array, double glazing throughout, and an airtight thermal envelope that maintains indoor temperatures with minimal energy use — all while reducing energy bills by up to 90%.
But energy efficiency is just the beginning.

At the core of the RubikHaus is a sophisticated Heat Recovery Ventilation system, which constantly circulates fresh, filtered air, removing pollutants, allergens, condensation and even bushfire smoke. The result? A calm, quiet, health-optimised environment, year-round.

Its European-style tilt-and-turn windows, clean-lined aesthetic, and whisper-quiet interiors speak to a design that is as beautiful as it is intelligent. Every element — from construction to operation — has been thoughtfully engineered to minimise environmental impact. The home was built in a carbon-neutral factory, and for every RubikHaus sold, ten times its land footprint is conserved elsewhere in Australia. This home doesn’t just reduce harm — it gives back.

13 Snell Drive will be delivered to its new owner as a Green Star Home by the Green Building Council of Australia, with Passive House Low Energy as a minimum — an extraordinary achievement for residential housing in Victoria.

This is a rare opportunity for a buyer with vision — someone who values innovation, wellbeing, and environmental stewardship. With limited homes of this calibre available, and this being the first of its kind in Gisborne, the chance to secure a RubikHaus is unlikely to come again soon.
