Berrys Creek VIC 3953

The holy grail for the home is it faces North with the ALL year-round sun kissing the 8 solar panels zapping the 2.5 kw solar system into gear.

Mother natures handy work has sculptured out a horseshoe bend that geographically wraps around the property giving you this feeling of being marooned on your own private inland island. As to the riparian vegetation well it is made up of Tall Grey box gums, Blackwoods, silver wattle, Oaks & a 100 plus year-old Golden Elm, including native grasss & shrubs. Not only does the water run wild, so too does the wildlife. Between periods of variable rain fall you can hear the symphony of running water over the bed rocks from inside the home. From the kitchen 4 port hole windows behind the gas cook top, is a distraction because they capture that optically stimulating waterfront view while you cook. How good is that?

Approx. 100 years young the cottage is structurally sound & has just undergone some all-round excellent home improvements. Overhead glass skylights illuminate the entire open plan living flooding it with natural light. The pine lined 4m high raked ceiling & wood fire adds ambiance & only further characterises The Cottages romantic interior. Tall timber panelled glass windows look out over the newly laid merbau deck & of course to the tree lined creek & surrounding hill side. There are 3 good sized bedrooms with one having a private entry directly onto the front veranda. Freshly painted living areas with newly installed high-end quality timber laminate flooring. Newly installed bathroom vanity & toilet & has been freshly painted with new flooring also.

On the riverbank elevated observation platforms have been established giving you a front row seat to an unrehearsed performance thats about to begin. But while you wait for the main matinee, sit back, relax with a glass of red & perhaps some locally sourced cheeses & wait for the masters of the creek to take to their aquatic stage. The wild platypus and crayfish are abundant in this hidden sanctuary and every day the local ducks come up from the creek to greet you as they seek out food and unknowingly entertain the occupants of this humble cottage.

So, whats your rush? Nothing could be more important than being right here to unwind and enjoy nature in its element!
Living here is a life style choice. With some fruit trees, a secure pen to house your chooks, large aviary, and simple easy-care gardens with older & well established European trees surrounding the home. A single bay carport with an original lock up garage/workshop & sundry shedding.

If youre a true believer in life style living then come & see how the other half live.
