In a 13+ acre peaceful setting surrounded by natural habitat and native bush this galvanised and timber home has been fully insulated and designed to leave a minimal environmental foot print and promotes a self-sufficient lifestyle. The home offers a timber decked entrance, large open plan lounge with sliding doors, wood heater and split system, kitchen with an original 1953 chef gas cooker and bay window, 3 good sized bedrooms, updated bathroom/laundry and separate toilet. There is a wide north facing rear entertaining deck, timber floors and ceiling fans feature throughout and a 2kw solar system feeding into the grid. Surrounding the home are productive gardens protected by kangaroo proof fencing that have rock edged garden beds, winding pathways, extensive raised veggie gardens, many fruit trees, chook pen and run, garden shed and 2 car carport. There is a large dam and 52,500lts of fresh rainwater storage. Located only 13km from Castlemaine, and 8km to the Calder for easy access to Bendigo and Melbourne this is a true tree change opportunity.
