An idyllic setting nestled within a secluded 20-acre block only 8 kilometres from the historic gold town of Wedderburn VIC.
On the highest point of the block, the home offers captivating views of the property's features, landform and the integration of natural and built features.
You will be simply dazzled by the fresh air and peaceful environment this home offers.
The house is surrounded by a paved veranda including a carport. The north facing side also boasts a large merbau deck providing an outdoor living area where you can sit and enjoy your surrounds and watch the stunning sunsets with a relaxing drink.
The house has two bedrooms. The spacious main has a walk-in robe and separate ensuite with vanity, shower, bath and toilet. The second bedroom has a built-in robe. The separate bathroom has a vanity, shower and toilet, perfect for guests t feel at home.
The open plan living area embraces a renovated kitchen, dining area and lounge, with a small office nook off to one side (complete with a Yagi internet boosting antenna). It has a split system air conditioner for heating and cooling, a wood fired combustion stove for cooking, heating, and hot water heating, and a wood heater for those colder nights. A gas cooktop provides an alternative cooking option. Other high efficiency appliances include a fridge and a front loading washing machine. A benchtop microwave and benchtop electric oven are also available.
There is a fitted-out walk-in pantry adjoining the kitchen, and separate laundry with external access. All rooms have been freshly painted.
Hot water is provided by a solar hot water system on the roof (which can be boosted by the combustion stove) or the instant gas hot water system. There are two 70kg gas bottles to supply the gas cooktop and gas hot water system.
The property enjoys a plentiful water supply with a concrete rain tank attached directly to the house (35,000 litres) and two other tanks with fresh rain water that can feed the house tank (an additional 145,000 litres). There are smaller tanks with an extra 10,000 litre capacity.
There is a large dam with a pump for the garden, and the property is also connected to the South West Loddon Pipeline, providing an abundance of water for gardens.
Close to the house there is a 6m x 10m (3m high walls) lock-up shed with a full length lean-to, two other outbuildings with power and lighting that were used as a computer room and craft room, a garden shed, wood shed, and a covered area for wood storage and cutting. There is also a caravan carport and a covered dog enclosure.
For day and night outdoor entertaining, a well-lit glass walled gazebo provides a cosy shelter with views, alongside a wood fired pizza oven. A stand alone above-ground wine cellar keeps storage temperatures consistent throughout the seasons.
If you want the benefits that come with growing your own tasty vegetables then you can't go past the enclosed garden with its installed watering system and small orchard.
With all that is for offer, another big kicker is that the property is off-grid. No more electricity bills or blackouts. It is an absolutely amazing solar system, running at 48V with a 10KVA inverter, two controllers and five lithium batteries (which can be increased) supported by 36 solar panels.
Be a part of the Wedderburn community whilst enjoying the seclusion. Only an hour from Bendigo, the town's services include a swimming pool, supermarket, doctor, pharmacy, café, service station, produce store, hardware store, motel and hotel.
