The compact yet spacious open plan home has great garden and country views from every vantage. It is double glazed and adjoining decking and paving provide outdoor spaces to enjoy alfresco eating. The main entrance opens into the sunroom which has angled glass to maximise solar capture during the winter. The 'Gourmet' wood heater has an oven and wetback. Solar panels contribute further to sustainable energy consumption. The kitchen overlooks the blueberry orchard and back garden and has a 'Professional' 900mm stove, double Fisher and Paykel DishDrawer, loads of bench space and a walk-in pantry.

Bedrooms are at opposite ends of the house. The main has a cleverly designed walk through ensuite which includes the wardrobes. An adjacent office completes the picture. Large north and east facing windows draw the garden inside. The other two bedrooms share a bathroom with a full sized bath, shower and separate toilet.

Other outbuildings include an older shed with a new concrete floor and new ply lining ready for fitting out as a workshop/man-cave, a four bay machinery shed erected in 2019 and cattle yards which have been converted into a plant nursery. A 'farm gate shop' (needing completion) for blueberries or other produce adjoins the nursery. Water is plentiful with a reliable bore, a 150,000 litre Pioneer GT150 water tank, and just under 2kms of high density poly pipe supplying 25 taps around the property.

The blueberry patch is fully bird netted and being long lived plants, afford the potential to progressively increase yield and profit over time. There is great opportunity to increase the planting. As it is, it offers the scope to step straight into the thriving, organic, local produce sector in Central Victoria, with weekly markets at Castlemaine and Bendigo. It is fun with immediate income!

There is power to the pond (which is 100m into the property), and the supply is adequate to provide for the construction of another house sized building. Plantings around the pond are underway with loads of potential to contribute to the ultimate planting layout and usage. The beautiful paving, bench and quirky wall by Richard Vivian (along Redbeard's Wolff Lane) already afford an elegant and supremely memorable dining location on long warm summer evenings.
