Description

Privately situated on a glorious 65 acres is this substantial and charming 5 bedroom home. The home features farmhouse kitchen, ornate art deco ceilings, large living area with wood heater, library, outdoor living area and a return veranda that overlooks the property. Rustic sheds provide space for the chooks and water is supplied by rainwater tanks and two dams. The land is gently undulating. It is comprised of half grazing land and half open bush land. There are assorted eucalyptus and acacia trees and shrubs with an under story of interesting windflowers, fungi and other natives. Much of the bush land has not been grazed, except by kangaroos, for a couple of decades allowing the native flora to regenerate. Currently the property is not connected to mains power. The house is serviced by gas lighting and a basic solar electricity system. There is abundant firewood on the property for winter heating. Within minutes of the Calder Freeway, this property is the ideal for both a weekend getaway or permanent living. The property is just minutes away from the village of Malmsbury and about a quarter of an hour from the town of Kyneton
