Often sought but very hard to find are property in this category that are totally "Off Grid" and with not a another house in sight with only sheep and a shearing shed as your closest neighbours. Emu was once (a long time ago) a thriving town in Country Victoria, now a well known farming area approximately 15 mins drive from St Arnaud towards Dunolly.
Surrounded by 100s of acres of broad acreage farm land that was once the Freehold of the Cameron family (hence Cameron Road) you will find this original Cameron farmhouse sitting proudly on a slight rise on its own 2 acre block whilst enjoying the amazing vista and peaceful bliss of the surrounding countryside. Circa 1900, 'original' is the key word here, having never been connected to any main services this is a true example of a country farmhouse. Of weatherboard construction and comprising 2 spacious bedrooms, a very cosy lounge with solid fuel heater. Kitchen living room with gas cooking and a superb original double oven cast iron cooker, dining room, 3 piece bathroom and separate toilet. The built in front veranda could also double as either study or additional sleeping area. Outside you will find scattered sundry shedding, an older style bus in permanent situ can provide additional accommodation also. Powered by a modest solar installation with 2 back up generators. Several tanks for your water storage and a small dam is also on the property. This has been a permanent home to the one owner for the past 10 years and would make a great permanent home again but equally this would be an ideal weekend retreat for those looking for a peaceful location & some escapism with no energy bills to be worried about. With some further renovation and maintenance this property could absolutely shine. The property can be sold with furnishings in situ including gas fridge. This could be the opportunity you have been waiting for. Call today to arrange an inspection.
