You may however, just be seeking some simple solitude, in which case the current configuration could be ideal, with modest temporary accommodation which consists mainly of two sheds joined together. The structure has been set up quite well, it has concrete floors and power connected, it features fully insulated walls and ceilings with lighting throughout. It is also fully lined and has timber ceilings, floating floors and carpets which are all aesthetically pleasing. Comfort is easily maintained by virtue of a reverse cycle air conditioner and a free standing wood heater which generates both warmth and a cozy ambience, in the cooler months. A separate modern room at the rear is currently furnished as a bedroom.

Outside, verandahs on three sides provide a shady place to relax and enjoy a cuppa in the tranquil surroundings. Those who appreciate landscaping, and in particular stone work, will feel a deep admiration, and marvel at the painstaking effort that has gone into building the numerous dry laid stone walls around the property, which inspire a wonderful timeless atmosphere.

Adding to the appeal of the property is a small vineyard which consists of a variety of vines, including Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz and Merlot. There is also a small olive grove as well as some cherry trees, all of which have irrigation. The water supply consists of a picturesque catchment dam with a pump, at the bottom of the property, and there are six water tanks that provide a capacity of 25,000 litres of drinking water and 30,000 litres for irrigation purposes.

The land is primarily gently undulating, with a slope at the rear presenting an interesting and beautiful outlook over Native Gully Creek. Fenced into three, being two main grazing paddocks, and a separate paddock for the vineyard and olive grove. The vendor has advised that the top paddock has grown oats in the past, and has been improved with the spreading of 30 truckloads of topsoil. The property is also suitable for most forms of livestock including sheep, cattle and horses etc. The fencing is relatively secure and there is a small loading ramp that may also be utilised for the handling of stock.

The location is great with lovely neighbours on either side and while this property has a wonderful rural feel, it is conveniently located on the Strathfieldsaye side of Eppalock, under 10 minutes to all the shops, schools and amenities of ever popular Strathfieldsaye, and also only 20 minutes from Bendigo's CBD with a wonderful arts precinct and café culture. For those from the city, it's a very easy commute to the Melbourne fringe in around 90 minutes.
