Serene and inviting, this idyllic home and artists studio is quietly nestled on 13.5 acres of part woodland, part pasture with an established orchard and Sandalwood plantings – a nod to the dry-land permaculture concept begun in 2000.
A notable rocky outcrop provides a majestic backdrop and the main residence befits the landscape as does the adobe studio.
A flexible floor plan with recycled floorboards and church windows characterises the home and the new bathroom, 2 split system units and wood fire heater ensure year round comfort. The northern orientation and the solar roof panels provide the renewable energy you need for cost effective, sustainable enjoyment and the abundant rainwater storage and careful harnessing of water run-off embrace sound, ecological principles.
The adobe studio, separate office and adjacent car port / workroom are powered and the main residence also has strong internet and phone reception, ensuring that seclusion doesn’t equate to isolation.
If you’ve been searching for an affordable property constructed along sustainable lines with a small ecological footprint, this permanent residence or convenient weekender, located only 10 minutes to Castlemaine and 20 minutes to Daylesford, could be the answer.
