Here is a unique opportunity to own a sustainable piece of Australia's design heritage on a rambling 45 acres. Set well off the road beyond an avenue of olive trees lies the heart of this property. On the high ground and surrounded by scattered mature Eucalypts and peppercorn trees is the corrugate and red brick residence, 4 bay machinery shed, olde shearing shed, 40' container which is semi converted for use as a studio / study, chook run or dog compound and stock yards. The rolling country is in 3 paddocks and needs some fencing completion, has a good sized dam and is currently in 2 titles of 20 and 25 acres.
The residence has been largely repainted inside, much rewiring and replumbing, new upright gas stove and a brand new off grid power PV system. There are 3.6kW of new roof mounted panels, new generator in the detached mudbrick laundry plus a new inverter. Two large water tanks fill from roof collect for domestic usage as well as dam water storage for the outdoors. The kitchen-meals-living space has superb north and east facing aspect and features an adjoining alfresco courtesy of a wide verandah. There is a new hardwood bench top and shelving, slow combustion stove as well as the new gas cooker, high raked ceiling with exposed trusses, new timber floor covering, large French windows and doors, plus an access point to the mezzanine floor. In the middle of the home is a space which can be used as a second bedroom or lounge / study area which also features a high raked ceiling and exposed timbers. This adjoins a bedroom and accesses the laundry and bathroom.
Just 152km to Melbourne, 34km Castlemaine, 37km Bendigo and 16km to Maldon offers excellent proximity for commuting, schooling and work opportunity, micro farming plus the peace and quiet model.
