Tucked away at the end of a charming, tree-lined driveway, this remarkable 34-acre lifestyle property delivers the perfect balance of off-grid sustainability, modern country rural living, and dual accommodation potential, just a short drive from the coast and essential amenities. Whether you're dreaming of a peaceful family haven, a productive hobby farm, or space to accommodate guests or extended family, this one-of-a-kind retreat offers privacy, versatility, and a deep connection to nature.
The main residence, a beautifully built straw-bale home combines eco-conscious design with natural insulation, earthy charm and everyday comfort. Wide wraparound verandas invite you to take in the farmland views, while the open-plan living area, warmed by a wood fire, creates a cosy, welcoming heart to the home.
Inside, the thoughtfully designed layout features four spacious bedrooms all with French doors opening on to the veranda, including a master suite with walk-in robe, and dual-vanity ensuite. A large family bathroom, a second lounge with a study area opposite, and a well-appointed kitchen with a premium 900mm Ilve gas stove complete the picture. With passive thermal design, double-glazed windows and doors, quality vinyl plank and carpet flooring, and a solar hot water system with LPG backup, the home is not only energy-efficient but truly self-sufficient. It’s fully off-grid, powered by a 6kW solar system and 48V battery setup (upgraded three years ago), with an 8kW generator for winter support. NBN connectivity ensures working from home is effortless, too.
For those seeking additional living or working area, a converted section of a 5-bay shed offers a fully self-contained two-bedroom space, perfect for guests or multi-generational living. This space also features a small kitchen, dining area, bathroom, laundry, living area and outdoor entertainer’s deck.
Infrastructure for farming or equine pursuits includes a 4-bay shed (with two concreted bays), hay and calf sheds, electric fencing across 11 paddocks, and well-designed stockyards. Two 100,000L water tanks supply the home, gravity-fed troughs in all paddocks and a dam with a petrol pump. Add to that a thriving veggie garden, orchard, chook pen, and dog run, and you have everything you need for a truly sustainable, fulfilling rural lifestyle, just a short drive from Wonthaggi and/or Inverloch and under 2 hours from Melbourne CBD.
This property offers huge potential to be transformed into an equine haven, featuring relatively flat land, a pre-levelled arena base, ample space for a round yard, shedding ideal for a stable fit-out, and easy access to all paddocks for convenient feeding and routine rugging. Along with its current excellent layout, it provides the perfect environment for training, caring for, and enjoying horses year-round.
