Our 80 acre property is nestled on the Black Range with stunning views to the Grampians, Mount Langhi Ghiran and the Pyrennees. Magnificent granite boulders and rocky outcrops are strewn across native grasslands and through our open woodland.
Close to the Grampians National Park, there are views towards mountains from every window and every aspect – providing serenity and a sense of endless space.
Our weatherboard home is also spacious with 4 bedrooms, high ceilings, and open plan living, dining and kitchen areas. It covers 19 squares and has both character and modern elements: charming country kitchen, new hardwood decking, large double glazed timber windows, good insulation and grid connected solar electricity and hot water.
Sunsets over the Grampians can be enjoyed from the veranda or inside the lounge room. And sunrises are a delight looking out at boxing kangaroos from the large panoramic windows of the main bedroom, whilst listening to the dawn chorus of birds.
Infrastructure includes tanks storing 18,000 gallons of water, a large shed on concrete pad (8x6x3m) and a 3m high 2 bay carport. The shed has electricity and can be used as a workshop. We have 1.7 kw solar panels and gas boosted solar hot water. A wood fire in the lounge room makes for cosy winter evenings with plenty of firewood available on the block. There is also a split system heater/air conditioner.
Around the house are established fruit trees with irrigation as well as an attractive native garden and productive veggie plot. Generous shade sails to the front provide respite from the summer sun.
But this unique property is more than a house and garden – it’s a lifestyle and a nature lover’s paradise. There are lovely walks from the front door and wildlife aplenty.
The value of our property’s biodiversity is recognised by a conservation covenant. Developed with the Victorian Trust for Nature, the covenant protects our granite grassy woodland from grazing of farm animals, trail bike riding, mining and logging. Four uncovenanted cleared acres close to the house can be used as desired.
Although it feels remote and very private, the property is conveniently located on a tarmac road only 6.5 km off the Western Highway, 12 minutes from Stawell and 25 minutes from Ararat.
We have lovingly managed our beautiful property for 15 years and would like to sell to buyers who will also love and appreciate it.
