Set among 40 acres of native woodland, this three bedroom mud brick house offers a peaceful off-grid lifestyle in the heart of Central Victoria, Australia. Built in 2000, the house was designed for passive solar heating.
The residence enjoys lovely views across the garden, surrounding bushland and one of the property’s two dams.
A Trust for Nature conservation covenant protects the surrounding native woodland, while allowing a lot of flexibility within the fenced domestic area.
The open-plan living area has high raked ceiling and excellent natural light. A wood heater with oven, hot plates and hot water jacket serves as a backup to the solar hot water system.
The kitchen is crafted from native timbers and has a walk-in pantry.
Large double glazed-windows frame garden, bushland and dam outlooks.
There are three bedrooms, with one currently used as a study or office.
There is an off-grid solar system with backup key-start generator. Four rainwater tanks service the home.
The five raised wicking vegetable garden beds, fruit trees and native gardens are supplied with water from the nearby dam.
