Ahimsa, Cheltenham, Heritage residence in Cheltenham, Australia
The residence at 67 Cobran Road features unpainted fibro walls, oiled timber elements, random rubble construction, and a terracotta glazed roof.
Marie Byles, the first female solicitor in New South Wales, constructed this dwelling in 1937 as her personal residence and meditation center.
The name Ahimsa reflects the principles of non-violence and peace, influenced by Gandhi's teachings and Buddhist philosophy adopted by Marie Byles.
The property spans 3.5 acres adjacent to Pennant Hills Park, maintaining its natural bushland setting with minimal alterations to the landscape.
Marie Byles donated the property to the National Trust of Australia in 1970, establishing it as a meditation meeting place for local groups.
