There is nothing quite like the rustic charm of this mudbrick home on approx. 2.5 acres, especially knowing it was built to connect with its surrounds. The property is completely off grid, with power supplied by 8 solar panels, battery bank, with inverter, and diesel generator. Located in the vicinity of the Yarra State Forest, the house is privately positioned to enjoy unfiltered peace and tranquillity. On a still, clear night the stars provide a spectacle, while Wildlife abounds, and bird life is prolific. The Cinva Ram bricks were hand pressed from the soil of the site and their mica content gives a sparkle in the sunlight. The double brick exterior and centre wall have great thermal qualities all year-round. A combustion wood fire allows additional heat to flow through the heart of the home and into the kitchen/meals area; with a divine open fireplace in the second living space a paradise for book lovers. The charming grace continues in the light and bright bathroom, as well as in each of the four bedrooms which all have a unique outlook to the surrounds. The home also features a huge utility room/laundry/mudroom. Outside, is a fenced veggie garden, shedding, hot house frame that would welcome a new lease on life and three water tanks holding approx. 36,000L for household, garden, and emergency use.
This home has a real and beautiful place in the history of the Yarra Valley. Step back in time, relax and commune with nature. If this is the life you desire, Call Property Partners today.
Local Intel: Historically, this is the original site of the gold mining town of Warburton in the 1860's, where Edward Buller had his pub, general store, and bakery, supplying the miners' needs. When the MMBW were putting the tunnel through Mt Little Joe, this site was used to house around 300 men, large machinery and a huge welding workshop producing joiners for the giant water pipe.
