A Beautiful Transformation on 12 Secluded Acres with Self Sufficiency Appeal

Description

Tree changes don’t come much more enticing than this with all the ingredients in place to also become self-sufficient yet still be just minutes’ drive to schools, shops, cafes and transport. Perfectly nestled on 12 picturesque acres of cool climate, red volcanic soil with Slaty Creek meandering through the property, this renovated timber haven sits centre stage in readiness for those who appreciate seclusion amongst nature without being isolated from society. With solar system and stand alone battery system with back up generator, along with spring fed water to the home, hydronic heating from wood stove in kitchen, a mixture of scattered bush and cleared land, plenty of space for the animals that your heart desires, huge shedding for storage feed etc, a fabulous self-sufficient veggie garden including greenhouse ready to go, 30+ fruit trees as well as privacy and peace – the country relaxed off grid lifestyle is on display here in full – this property really is the ultimate dream, with easy access to the best of what the Yarra Valley has to offer.

A provincial inspired kitchen overlooks a meals zone and beautifully blends old with new with an original combustion stove, farmhouse sink and butcher’s block adding allure. Step down to a family room to relax by the crackling Coonara and the comforting aroma of wood fired smoke blending with fresh country air. This is home.
Accommodation is highlighted by three bedrooms well serviced by a chic family bathroom with a luxe clawfoot bath for relaxing at day’s end.
And from every room there is a view to the lush landscape that envelopes the home with wide verandas to sit, sip and take it all in.
Beautifully terraced gardens with flat zones framed by stonework create spaces for play equipment or a firepit with rolling lawn hugged by a treed bushland backdrop and lush land.
