Overview
"Eco Acres" Sustainable Lifestyle Meets Rural Serenity
Escape to a carefully designed, eco-efficient haven where modern comfort harmonises with breathtaking natural beauty. Located just moments from the Timboon town centre, this property offers unparalleled water security, massive infrastructure, and a front-row seat to nature's greatest spectacles.
The residence, built in June 2018, is a north-facing home spanning 129.8 square meters, exemplifying thermal efficiency. It is enveloped by a sweeping 2.4-meter wide hardwood veranda on a steel frame, adding 133.34 square meters, resulting in a total footprint of 263.14 square meters that ensures year-round protection and outdoor enjoyment.
- Eco-efficient architecture with full insulation and double-glazed windows and doors. Expansive northern windows allow winter sun to flood the living spaces, while the deep verandas provide shade during summer heat.
- Thoughtful layout featuring three bedrooms, a central bathroom, a separate toilet, and a cleverly designed two-way laundry cupboard connecting seamlessly to the bathroom.
- Country kitchen and living area equipped with a large cool-storage pantry with aromatic cypress pine shelving and a Thermolux Gourmet Cooker connected to the hot water system.
- Stunning views including breathtaking sunrises, a private dam that creates a personal "staircase to the moon," and the Aurora Australis visible from the southern veranda.
- Future potential for expansion with a design accommodating an additional housing module on the eastern side, ideal for a parent's retreat or guest wing overlooking the valley, subject to council approval.
The property boasts unrivalled infrastructure and workshops, perfect for tradespersons, hobbyists, or those seeking an off-grid lifestyle. It includes two massive, north-facing Colorbond sheds approved in 2016, each with skillion roofs designed for future solar panel installation. Both sheds rest on a substantial 35 by 45-meter sandstone base with full drive-around access and 2-phase power.
- Shed 1 measures 13.5 by 9 meters and features a 9 by 9-meter fully enclosed section with a 4-inch concrete slab, mezzanine storage, a workshop with heavy-duty steel benches, roof insulation, and drive-through access. Plumbing is in place for a future bathroom.
- Shed 2 measures 18 by 9 meters and includes a 13.5 by 9-meter fully enclosed zone with a heavy-duty 5-inch concrete slab and high-access roller doors measuring 3.3 meters wide by 3.6 meters high.
Ultimate self-sufficiency and water security are key features of this property. A 90,000-liter Colorbond tank collects water from the house and sheds, feeding a two-stage filtration system with UV light to provide pristine drinking water. A large central dam serves as a secondary water hub, equipped with pressure and transfer pumps servicing paddocks, sheds, and outside taps. The home's toilet and external taps can toggle between tank and dam water to conserve rainwater. Additionally, the property includes a share of a 16ML water licence to pump from a nearby creek if required.
- Green technology includes an evacuated tube solar hot water system with a 250-liter roof-mounted tank boosted by a fireplace.
- A Wormsmart septic system that never requires emptying.
- The land spans fully fenced boundaries with two internal paddocks, organically managed and rotationally grazed by a small flock of sheep.
- Established vegetable gardens and a thriving orchard featuring apples, cherries, nectarines, pomegranates, feijoas, berries, lemons, and limes.
- An English Oak-lined driveway welcomes you home, complemented by rich native plantings such as Black Wattle, Blackwood, and Eucalyptus, providing excellent stock shelter, firewood, mulch production, and attracting a vibrant array of local birdlife.
Enjoy the absolute peace of a rural valley while remaining close to Timboon's town centre, which offers schools, shopping, medical facilities, and sporting pursuits.
