Overview

This exceptional rural property at 1165 Creswick-Newstead Road in Sandon offers a rare blend of self-sufficient living combined with high-quality agricultural infrastructure and contemporary family comfort. Set within 41.35 hectares (over 100 acres), the land is thoughtfully divided into well-managed paddocks and supports livestock operations with modern facilities.

The home, completed in 2016 by Paul Gray, is energy-efficient and designed to capitalize on natural light and scenic north-westerly views. The spacious layout includes an open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area that serves as a welcoming hub, with the addition of a separate formal living room to accommodate family needs and lifestyle flexibility.

The residence features four sizable bedrooms and two bathrooms, balancing space and practicality. Designed for true off-grid living, it employs a 6kVA solar array with battery backup to supply a minimum of three days of power, supplemented by a 10kVA automated generator, ensuring uninterrupted energy independence. Thermal comfort is ensured year-round through double-glazed windows, R3 wall insulation, and R5 roof insulation. Hot water is supplied via a solar system supplemented by an inline gas booster, while water needs are met from a dedicated 100,000-litre rainwater tank.

The working farm infrastructure supports efficient stock management with five fully fenced paddocks, three sod-seeded with premium pasture mixes including Fescue & Clover, Rye Grass & Clover, and Phalaris/Cocksfoot & Clover. Boundary and internal fencing are fully electrified, with a central laneway facilitating straightforward stock movement. Handling facilities include heavy-duty cattle yards capable of holding 40 head, complete with a vet crush, race, and loading ramp. Feed management is supported by a 20-tonne pellet silo, and the property includes two 6m x 12m sheds for hay, machinery, and solar power equipment.

Water security is assured with a reliable bore pumping to a 100,000-litre bore water tank servicing gardens and stock, complemented by four stock dams spread throughout the property. An established orchard featuring a diverse range of fruit and olive trees adds both productivity and charm to the setting.

Located within the peaceful Goldfields region, this holding provides rural seclusion while remaining accessible to nearby centers such as Newstead (10 km), Creswick (28 km), Castlemaine (24 km), Daylesford (27 km), and the Melbourne CBD (135 km), making it well-suited for livestock producers, horse enthusiasts, or those seeking an eco-friendly rural lifestyle close to vibrant communities.
