30 Greenwood Grove
Woodend, VIC 3442

Set on just over four acres of gently undulating land in a private enclave in Woodend, this property is alive with native wildlife and offers a unique blend of tranquility, sustainability, and a strong connection to nature.

The residence has been thoughtfully designed prioritizing comfort and energy efficiency. The exterior features Hebel cement panel cladding combined with high-grade insulation and a concrete slab foundation. European-style double-glazed, fire-retardant windows allow abundant natural light while maintaining thermal efficiency and low maintenance. The north-facing living areas are strategically positioned to maximize solar gain, complemented by Herschel infrared heating panels that provide quiet, sun-like warmth during the colder months.

Energy independence is supported by a comprehensive solar and battery system, which includes a 12.58 kWp solar array and 27.9 kWh of usable battery storage. This system is equipped with remote monitoring capabilities and three-phase grid backup to ensure resilience and reliability. Water needs are met through town supply supplemented by 50,000 litres of rainwater storage dedicated to drinking water and garden irrigation. Additional sustainable features include an Apricus solar hot water system and an on-site treatment system that recycles greywater for garden use.

Outdoor living spaces have been carefully considered to enhance lifestyle and productivity. The property boasts a productive orchard featuring a variety of heritage and modern fruit trees including apples, pears, plums, cherries, and hazelnuts. A fenced vegetable garden, chook pen, and greenhouse support year-round cultivation. The grounds include both wild and mown areas that encourage biodiversity, with hidden pathways inviting exploration throughout the landscape. For entertaining, a retractable Markilux Pergola awning creates a versatile outdoor room during summer, further enhanced by external blinds. Safety and convenience are addressed with a compliant fire bunker and a substantial 6m by 6m shed suitable for workshop or machinery storage.

Despite its peaceful and secluded setting, the property remains conveniently located within walking distance to a local secondary school bus stop and is just a 10-minute drive from Woodend township and the Bendigo line train service. This lifestyle property offers a rare combination of privacy, sustainability, and enduring quality, making it an exceptional opportunity for those seeking a harmonious rural retreat.
