Home amongst the gum trees

The quintessential Australian bush is the idyllic setting for this private retreat, a world away from busy suburbia and the pressures of modern living.

Approximately nine acres of pristine bush, magnificent trees and fern filled gullies will captivate you with its natural beauty, peace and serenity.

Splendid gardens of magnolias, rhododendrons, exotic trees and palms immediately surrounding the home thrive in the temperate climate.

Built by the current owners, the unique two level residence is a testament in selfsufficiency and energy efficiency.

Completely off the grid, the home is powered by a solar unit with a generator when required.

Solid fuel heating plus gas backup ensures climate control during the cooler months.

The mud brick construction not only blends with the environment but is the ideal insulator.

Open plan living, country style kitchen, central bathroom, separate toilet and the laundry are included on the ground floor.

Three bedrooms and an additional separate toilet are found on the second level.

A broad verandah front and rear is perfect to enjoy the peaceful surrounds.

Entry is directly into the living area.

Exposed ceiling beams, timber lining and rendered mud brick create a warm and inviting country ambience.

Adjoining is the kitchen with timber cabinetry, Chef gas cooker, double pantry, ample storage and bench space.

Windows above the bench and sink overlook the garden and nearby bushland.

From the kitchen a short hallway connects the bathroom, separate toilet and the laundry, the cavity under the stairs accommodates the linen press.

Timber steps from the living room lead to the second level, a window on the landing frames the view and provides a natural light source.

Angled ceilings and timber dado on this upper level give character and charm to the bedrooms.

Built-in robes are included in all of the bedrooms, two have a private balcony and all of the bedrooms enjoy a marvellous outlook across the tree tops, one with a view of the Strzelecki Ranges.

Additional improvements include a 30ft x 20ft lockup workshop with a concrete floor and an adjoining carport.

Native wildlife, including wallabies, koalas, echidnas and a variety of birds are regular visitors to the property.
