Tucked against the raw beauty of state forest, "Fossil Downs" isn't just a property-it's a complete lifestyle shift.
Set across 5 hectares in the heart of the Strathbogie Hills, this is where privacy, self-sufficiency, and character come together in a way that's increasingly hard to find.
From the moment you arrive, it feels different.
The home has evolved into a warm, grounded retreat-designed for real living. Polished concrete and cork floors anchor the interiors, while timber benchtops and a fully equipped butler's pantry bring both texture and everyday practicality to the heart of the home. Natural light pours through the open-plan living zone, with every window framing the surrounding landscape.
The flexible floorplan offers four bedrooms, with the versatility to adapt-whether you need a studio, workspace, or additional living zone. The central bathroom recently updated.
At the centre, the kitchen delivers both function and soul. A rustic combustion stove, gas cooking, and a generous island bench create a space designed for connection-whether it's slow mornings, family meals, or entertaining friends.
Comfort is covered year-round with wood heating, ceiling fans, and well-organised firewood storage ready to go.
Step outside, and the lifestyle truly opens up.
Established gardens and mature trees surround a secure, fully fenced house yard-perfect for children and pets. A wide verandah and undercover entertaining area set the scene for relaxed afternoons and long evenings, while the substantial enclosed area ready for a new vegetable garden supports a more self-sufficient way of living.
The infrastructure here is where this property truly stands apart.
A proven, upgraded off-grid solar system powers the home with confidence, complemented by a reliable bore water supply-keeping running costs low and independence high. Fire preparedness is already in place with pump, hose, and rooftop sprinkler systems, offering peace of mind in a rural setting.
Multiple sheds and outbuildings provide excellent storage for vehicles, tools, and equipment, while an unfinished bungalow opens the door to further potential-guest accommodation, a home office, or creative retreat.
Positioned just 10 minutes to Strathbogie township and approximately 30 minutes to Euroa, this is the perfect balance of seclusion without isolation.
For buyers chasing space, privacy, and a genuine connection to the land-without giving up comfort- "Fossil Downs" delivers in every sense.
