Craving country living?! Time to simplify your life? This unique and incredible slice of beauty is yours for the taking...

Picture yourself moving into your country home, peacefully positioned on 7.7 acres on top of your own private hill in Flowerdale (Junction Hill), surrounding yourself with nature and breathtaking views but just 25 mins from the stunning Yarra Valley, 45 mins to Melbourne’s outer suburbs and 75 mins to the CBD. Work from home out of the hustle bustle of the city as NBN is also connected!

Could this be the weekender or home away from home you have been searching for? A small farm, project space, country retreat or place to just come and relax. Or build on the adjacent hill with near 360 degree views that will surely impress.

This place has a calming, amazing feel to it. The house feels peaceful and cosy. Large glass windows and doors open up to connect you with the natural surrounds and refreshing city-free air. Wake up to watch the sun rising over the hills from your east facing living room and brighten up your mornings. In the evenings, the sun sets over hills to the west, with some of the most incredible expansive colour-changing sunsets you can appreciate.

Recently renovated, late 1970s built, sturdy, comfortable and tidy two bedroom home with polished wooden floors, newly tiled bathroom with bathtub, new wood fire heater, large open bright kitchen and dining area freshly painted with high ceiling and glass windows all around, impressing you with views of the world outside. Entertain with ease and enjoy the breeze flowing through your hilltop home. Rendered and recently painted externally, large bay windows and feature French style bi-fold opening glass doors frame this house giving it a cottage, yet modern look.

There are established fruit and nut trees, old and young growing happily on the east facing slope which is an ideal site for more tree planting, while the veggie garden beds sit on the west facing slope. There are flower and stylized rock design gardens all around the house, inviting you to plant in more! The notable and tasteful garden features are sure to inspire any solid greenthumb, designer or aspiring gardener.

The property is equipped with a new hot water system, new TV antenna, new electric water pump, two water tanks, connected to mains power (circuit has been upgraded), two small sheds for storage and tools, an old fashioned fire pit area and fenced chicken coop. There is also a very large curved shape shed with lots of potential. At the moment, it is a living space with a wood heater inside but would make a great workspace or toolshed with the large solid welded in workbench and shelving.

Down the hill there is a lived-in Bedford bus that screams 'project'! Or alternatively, move the bus if it’s not your thing and use this excavated site for another dwelling of your choice. The bus sits on an ideal slope for an amphitheatre style stage, a entertainment location for gatherings of small-medium capacity. Your friends and family will love coming to visit (they might not want to leave!). There is a hand carved outdoor coffee or wine bar overlooking an impressive treescape.

Take a walk around this hilly and gorgeous land, with wild flowers of many colours in spring, while winter fog nestles into the valley below through winter... You will fall in love with this place. Butterflies, birds and wildlife love it here, cows, sheep, goats or horses would happily eat the grass. Wedge tailed eagles circle this land and you could be visited by frogs, deer, echidna, wallabies, possums, flying foxes, king parrots, blue tongues, wrens and more.

If you love the sound of cockatoos and kookaburras, silent evenings and enjoying vast starry night moonlit skies, sitting by a cosy fire in the cooler months, this is truly a nature-inspired place to be ;) Yet still close enough to Melbourne to get the best of both worlds! Explore local fishing spots, walking and bike trails, the kids will love being outdoors.

Enjoy the large covered deck overlooking picturesque hills. Enjoy meals or wine outdoors, taking in panoramic views. The perfect spot to practice yoga.

There is a dam on this property and a small flowing creek during wetter months. The property is fenced and suitable for livestock including horses. Extra fencing wire and other building materials are included if you want it for your projects.

Possibilities to ~ create a permaculture inspired haven or hobby farm, a city escape weekender, renovate it further; there's space to extend outwards to add room/s to the house, or build a second story upwards.

Or, use your own design to build on the adjacent hill (one title) with unbelievable PANORAMIC VIEWS towards a valley that faces south, and live your dream! Check out the video link, the site and view from here is awesome. If you are interested in a business or income opportunity the current house could be ideal for an air BnB, rented or practitioner space.

Please message or email to arrange a private inspection. If you would like to appreciate the incredible sunset before you buy, request a 'dusk inspection' or alternatively we can make a time that suits.

This acreage is a nicely sized slice of magic. It could be your dream come true!
