Hoddles Creek VIC 3139

If privacy is important, this approx. 21 ha. retreat property is perfect, as it's set well away from the hustle & bustle of everyday life, and replaced by the sounds of nature, while its neighbouring boundaries are either farms or conservation reserves, including the McCrae Creek stream-side reserve on its southern boundary.

The cottage itself is functional and cosy, offering 3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom and a spacious kitchen with breakfast bar. Stepping out onto the generous size deck, you soon get the picture as you face south across a nearby forest named "Lyrebird Gully", as it's a site where lyrebirds raise their young, while a beautiful spring-fed dam nearby is shrouded by tall trees and is a haven for all sorts of birds including kingfishers, owls and honeyeaters, as well as platypus from time to time.

One of the things the family has always loved about the property is the feeling that nature is constantly renewing itself here, with its little natural springs, abundance of wildlife, while having the privilege to see the forest change throughout the seasons all year round.
