If city-life is giving you the pip, you need never pay another council rate or power bill by escaping to this, your very own 40 acre hideaway, fully off grid yet only 1.5hrs from Melbourne, with no council rates, no power companies and no water rates!
Imagine sitting on your island verandah, overlooking the bay, enjoying olives grown from your own olive grove, whilst dipping bread into your freshly pressed olive oil and taking in the scenery of llamas, alpacas, Clydesdale Horses and even koalas in the surrounding native trees. There’s also an abundance of birdlife, with no foxes or possums to upset the applecart!
The home is an absolute Aussie Gem comprising 3 bedrooms, wrap-around verandahs, a large kitchen, a composting toilet and grey water management system. This peaceful haven also boasts established fruit orchard, vegie garden, chooks, worm farm, its own solar and wind power, battery storage, solar hot water, ample firewood for the wood heater (with wet back to support solar hot water), over 70,000 litres of rainwater tank storage, ample machinery shedding and a timber barn.
This established lifestyle property with income and opportunities for further diversification, is entirely NASAA certified organic and currently home to French Island Olives, including a grove of 800 mature olive trees, supported with all equipment on site, such as an oil processor in a dedicated facility on the property. The remaining property is divided into 7 grazing paddocks all with natural shelter offering opportunities for a small grazing business.
