Properties as unique and appealing as this DO NOT enter the market very often! Surrounded by 20 acres of natural fauna and local wildlife and offering space, adventure and security, this fabulous property is a secluded bush retreat and a great place to raise happy and healthy kids. Peace and tranquillity awaits in close proximity to the Strathfieldsaye shops, schools, buses and the Bendigo CBD. Not to mention Bendigo's favourite recreation spot Lake Eppalock!
Those searching for a sustainable lifestyle will be suitably impressed. An inspection will allow you to fully explore the property at your leisure. You will discover ecologically significant and rare vegetation and a diverse mix of local wildlife and fauna, all protected under a Trust For Nature Covenant. Lovely established gardens are complete with irrigation system, your own orchard (with 30 fruit trees) and vegie patch allows you to grow your own food. A large chicken coup is connected to the orchard and a return driveway allows easy access to the rear yard and shedding. Shedding is in abundance thanks to the huge 4 bay shed with concrete floor and power, plus a separate caravan/trailer shed and a wood shed. Water is at a premium, making the property both extremely fire ready and drought resistant. A 5meg water right transfers to the new owner, 2 dams have good capacity and there are 3 water tanks totalling 75,000L of storage. A 3.2kw solar panel system keeps the electricity bill to a minimum. A lovely sundeck and BBQ area is the perfect vantage point to take in your natural surrounds, whilst a shady verandah wraps the rear of house, its southerly aspect perfect for the summer months
Set back from the road, the individually designed mud brick and clad home has been extended at both ends to present a wonderful family sized home. Full of character and rustic charm, the residence offers a passive solar design complete with a northerly aspect, solar panels, double glazed windows to the extensions, mud brick insulation and solid fuel heating to name a few. Exposed timber beams, internal brick and mud brick walls, corrugated iron and mini orb feature walls, polished concrete floors and high raked ceilings are some of the appealing features.
