Welcome to 'Shady Acres' a rare opportunity to own over 13 acres of pristine land complete with its own beautiful dam, water tanks, mains power, and septic system. A peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of city life surrounded by the dappled light and shade of trees and the tranquil sounds of birdsong, it's the perfect opportunity to immerse yourself in the beauty of nature from the comfort of your own home.
At the heart of the property sits a 2-bedroom, 1-bath log cabin with picture windows in every room, a living and dining room, functional kitchen to update, bathroom with laundry facilities, and a wrap-around deck for taking in the views with a morning cuppa or glass of wine as the sun goes down.
In addition to the cabin, the land holding also includes a studio that offers a third bedroom, kitchenette, and spacious living area. This versatile space is perfect for creative and mindful purposes, whether you want to pursue your passion for art, yoga, writing, or just simply relax. You can even Air BnB the studio or perhaps the entire property and share the benefits of Shady Acres with family, friends and city slickers looking for respite.
The property is located in a hush-quiet rural area, surrounded by other country properties with paddocks that are home to native kangaroos, cows, and more, while the drive to get there is lined with picturesque countryside that will melt your stress away.
The nearby townships of Creswick, Ballarat, Daylesford, Hepburn Springs and the highway to Melbourne are all within easy reach, as well as the Swiss Mount Hotel for a drink, dinner, or game of billiards. And with the Rocklyn Ashram, a yoga retreat, right next door, you can cultivate a sense of zen right at home.
This property has the potential to become whatever you want it to be - weekender, a first home, hobby farm or a horticulture project on the flat terrain. With a current permit in place to extend into the carport space, you could also expand the cottage into a larger country oasis while living studio as you bring your style and vision to fruition.
Don't miss this incredible chance to transport your childhood dreams of country life adventure into an adult reality.
