Imagine living in your very own rural retreat, with a sense of being miles from anywhere, yet only a stone's throw from the main highway to the coast (Port Fairy), or the mountains (Dunkeld, Hall's Gap). Right in the centre of the land of the Gunditjmara people and their unique and powerful testament to sustainability, the Budj Bim World Heritage Cultural Landscape. This land is famous for the eel aquaculture; stone systems, built into the lava flow, surrounded by stone house settlements. There are also world-class geological features only a couple of kilometres to the west and north with lava tube caves and tumuli.
A haven of style, warmth, comfort and beauty with the added advantage of abundant soils, newly fenced paddocks and unlimited fresh creek water, the property is spectacular in its placement and potential, just waiting for you.
The house and land package of 2.3 Ha, comes complete, giving you the capacity to relax and enjoy your paradise or run a small business in food production, health and wellbeing or cultural tourism.
This heavenly property has been a five-star rated Airbnb retreat for the last five years and is loved for its charm, gardens, professional-quality kitchen and stylish renovations.
It has recently been renovated with new roof, plumbing, wiring and many added extras including stylish fittings and recycled and architectural glass doors and finishes. All this while still retaining a feeling of simplicity and ease. Its European wood heater also adds warmth and the option to collect wood and heat your own home with the glow of a real fire. Reverse cycle air conditioning compliments the wood and gas heating and the effectiveness of cedar venetians throughout the home insulates the windows.
Similarly, the garden setup is a birdlife paradise of native and rambling exotic shrubs with tranquil pockets. It has a brand new heavy-duty Onga pressure pump to irrigate the many vegetable garden beds and fruit orchard. Dripper systems are in place, making watering easy in the late summer months. The exclusive creek frontage license gives you year-round access to the pure flowing Scotts Creek water. The creek forms the southern boundary of the property and ensures abundant pasture growth on the low country all year round. Newly fenced into five small paddocks, the farmlet can run stock alongside possible market garden options. Citrus and stone fruits, apples and pears do particularly well in the soil. Twenty-five fruit trees make the garden an edible delight year-round. They blend beautifully amongst Callistemon and Melaleuca that attract wrens and honeyeaters all year round. Around 2000 woolly tea trees and gums were planted ten years ago and are now mature and thriving. They attract wildlife so that it is common to see swamp wallabies, koalas and the odd fox wandering through the garden. They also block wind and road noise, so it feels intensely private and protected.
At 2.3 Ha, the property has both low spring and higher rocky areas. So a perfect blend of wet and dry country fenced for practical use in different seasons. It has a small heavy-duty stockyard used for loading and unloading stock, and with a little ingenuity, the associated yard shed could be restored to a small working dairy and used to hand-milk cattle, goats or sheep. It contains the original cow bail used for the house cow when the home built in 1910.
This beautiful home also includes a self-contained studio nearby. The studio could be an extra bedroom, a consulting room for a counselling or massage business or perhaps an art studio. It faces north and is fully insulated, so it is warm and cosy in winter and cool and shaded in summer. It is private from the main house and could even be used by the owner as a place to live while the Airbnb was in use. The sale is open to discussions about chattels should the new owner want to continue Airbnb. A local caretaker is willing to continue to look after the garden and cleaning if required.
Local commercial attractions include the beautiful gifts, clothing and bric-a-brac shop that sits directly across the road in the old general store. And further down the street is the large scale second hand and costume shop, along with the Old Church artist residency; Creative People Place. Byaduk is a little-known treasure with a thriving farming community, passionate cricket teams and excellent town facilities and community gatherings and an annual Spring Show. Please ring to arrange a time to inspect, and I am sure you will enjoy the experience.
