353 Hepburn-Newstead Road

Shepherds Flat VIC 3461

The master bedroom has a high storage loft and walk in robe, while the second bedroom opens onto a courtyard and pergola. There is a roomy bathroom with a soaker bath, walk in shower and slate floor. The laundry has generous cupboard space and leads to a mud brick utility room/small studio, and the carport (under the house roof).
This house is economical to run with less need for heating and cooling than most houses due to thickly rendered straw bale walls, a well insulated ceiling and double glazed (and toughened) glass windows/doors. The electric hot water system is boosted by an Esse wood stove, which provides heating and delicious wood-fired baking. A split heating/cooling unit, gas cooktop and fan forced electric oven give instant heat, cooling and cooking.
Shepherds Flat is only 5 minutes from the spa, restaurants and store at Hepburn Springs, 10-15 minutes to the lakes, Botanical Gardens, galleries, shops and restaurants in Daylesford and 25 minutes to Castlemaine.
