Peace, serenity and beauty, all rolled into one on the outskirts of Bendigo.

Set on a picturesque 30 acres only 15 minutes drive from Bendigo and 25 minutes from Castlemaine, with the school bus stop at the front gate. This unique property offers a fabulous lifestyle opportunity. Bounded on two sides by national park it is surrounded by diverse native trees and flora, and a sanctuary for birds and wildlife, with a fabulous evening frog chorus.

The home is constructed predominately from natural materials, providing a warm ambience that only earth construction can. Mud bricks, exposed timber beams and poles form the majority of the interior and exterior and French doors and floor to ceiling windows provide views of the dam and the native bush beyond. The solar passive design allows the winter sun in to warm the slate floor and solid fuel heating keeps it very cosy. In summer the windows and doors capture the cross breezes and ventilate the home.

This four bedroom home with ensuite and family bathroom with spa bath, has a spacious open plan encompassing the living, dining and kitchen and a second living area upstairs for a parents retreat or childrens play area. There is also a large laundry, and a separate cellar and power room. Brick courtyards and verandahs provide ample areas for entertaining or chilling out.

The home has a stand-alone solar electricity system ( off-grid ) with a back up generator; three house roof water tanks; two dams; undercover parking for four cars; two sheds for tools and equipment; and is connected to NBN wireless.

Extensive food gardens finish off the property with an established producing orchard of 40- 50 fruit trees; a large vegetable garden; a small vineyard; a large chicken house; and a 7 acre paddock on the creek flat to support either animals or horticulture.
