Set deep within the Chewton Bushlands, this remarkable property offers a soulful connection to the Australian landscape. Surrounded by a rich tapestry of Box Ironbark, Stringybark, and Native Cherry trees, the 6.4-acre (approx) bush block is a haven for those seeking solitude, sustainability, and a slower pace of life. Here, nature is your neighbour, and the rhythms of the bush set the tone for daily living.
At the heart of the property sits a hand-built stone and timber hut, crafted in 197374 with care and intention. Nestled gently into the land, the dwelling is modest yet full of character, with timber-lined ceilings, stone and timber walls, and a blend of brick and timber flooring that echoes the textures of the surrounding forest. A loft-style sleeping area adds a touch of whimsy, while the open fireplace and solid wood heater provide warmth and comfort through the seasons.
This is a place designed for living lightly. The kitchen and dining area are simple and functional, featuring a freestanding gas cooktop and oven (bottled gas), as well as a sink overlooking the bush. Step outside to discover an outdoor hot water shower, a double-chamber earth closet, and a deck that invites you to pause, breathe, and take in the ever-changing bushland views. Birdsong, kangaroos, and echidnas are regular visitors.
The property is fully off-grid, supported by solar panels, water tanks, and two dams. A carport with an attached workshop offers space for tools, projects, or creative pursuits. Whether you are an artist, a writer, or simply someone seeking a retreat from the noise of modern life, this block offers the space and serenity to reconnect with what matters.
Located just minutes from the village of Chewton with its iconic Red Hill Hotel, post office, and community pool, and a short drive to Castlemaine's vibrant township, schools (including the Steiner School), markets, and train services to Melbourne and Bendigo. The Calder Freeway is also within easy reach, making this secluded sanctuary surprisingly accessible.
This is more than just land, it's a lifestyle. A place to live simply, tread gently, and immerse yourself in the beauty of the bush. Whether you're looking for a weekend escape or a permanent change, this unique property offers a rare opportunity to embrace off-grid living in one of Central Victoria's most treasured natural environments.
