Zac Efron Breaks Ground on 128-Hectare Hemp Home in Australia

Zac Efron has started work on “FutureCave,” a six-bedroom sustainable home near the New South Wales-Queensland border on a 128-hectare site he bought in 2020.
Designer Joost Bakker said the house will be built largely from locally sourced hemp, with mattresses, curtains and pillows also derived from the plant.
Bakker is pushing the concept beyond structure alone, including a rooftop garden and exploring a hemp-drum washing machine with an appliance maker.
Efron told the Australian Financial Review he chose Bakker after admiring his homes, while Russell Crowe’s advice to buy land in Australia helped cement the move.
Bakker has framed the project as a wider test of hemp-based building materials, saying Efron wants his sustainability ideas pushed as far as possible.
