Perched High Above the Valley – Time to Get Back to Nature

Comfortable Off-Grid Living • 31.7 Ha* of Native Paradise • Private Weekender

Perched high amongst the trees and overlooking the surrounding valleys, this unique 78* acre property offers the opportunity to slow down, reconnect with nature and enjoy a simpler way of life.

The comfortable two-bedroom weekender provides open-plan lounge, dining and kitchen areas, kept warm and inviting by a slow-combustion wood heater with an almost endless supply of timber from the property's established woodlots, including red ironbark.

Step outside onto the front verandah or expansive raised deck and take in the peaceful surroundings. It's the perfect place to sit back, enjoy a morning coffee, watch the wildlife or simply appreciate having your own piece of native paradise.

The separate, substantial bathroom and laundry are conveniently accessed from the home via a covered breezeway and include a claw-foot bath, shower alcove, vanity and WC.

For those needing plenty of storage, workshop or vehicle space, the modern five-bay shed is a major bonus, with two enclosed bays featuring roller door and a personal access door. There's also a rustic storage shed providing additional storage space.

The property is exceptionally well suited to off-grid living, with a recently upgraded 300-Ah, 12-volt lithium battery system recharged by two roof-mounted solar panels, together with solar hot water and an instantaneous gas hot water system. Water security is well catered for with a substantial rainwater tank of approximately 186,000* litres, together with two additional rainwater tanks providing a further 38,500* litres of storage.

The land itself is what truly sets this property apart. Previous owners planted approximately 12,000* trees during the 1980s, creating established woodlots while enhancing the property's conservation values. Over the past 20 years, the current owners have continued this work, planting a further 600* native trees to encourage and protect the property's native flora and fauna.

More than 60 species of birds have been recorded by the current custodians, providing a wonderful insight into the diverse natural environment surrounding the property.

Four seasonal dams provide additional water sources, including one substantial dam which, according to the owners, has only run dry for one summer in approximately 40 years.

No stock have been run on the property for the past 20 years, with the current owners choosing instead to preserve the land and its natural environment.
With its elevated setting, valley views, established native vegetation, substantial water storage, solar power and extensive shedding, this is far more than simply a weekender. It's an opportunity to embrace a self-sufficient, peaceful and environmentally conscious lifestyle, surrounded by nature and away from the hustle and bustle.

If you've been looking for somewhere to escape, unwind and get back to nature, this could be the place you've been waiting for. Note ride-on mower and house furniture included in the sale.

Located around 11kilometres (15mins) south of Ashbourne and about an hour south (70kms*) of Adelaide.

Access off Braeside Road via rights of way over adjoining properties, 4WD required. Note inspection by appointment only.
