Set on approximately 2½ acres, this peaceful country retreat is the kind of place where the neighbours are dominated mostly by kangaroos, wombats, kookaburras and an abundance of other native wildlife.

Surrounded by established native bushland, the property offers a wonderful sense of privacy, space and tranquility, with plenty of room to simply enjoy the country lifestyle or use the property as a weekender while you plan and build your dream home.

The existing cottage/weekender has mains power connected providing a comfortable temporary place to stay, with a stylish modern interior, kitchenette, bathroom and sleeping/living space.

A CCTV and Starlink are also connected.

There is also ample container storage, making it a practical base while you establish your future plans for the property. Water is exceptionally well catered for, with over 33,000 litres of water storage, a large dam and a seasonal creek running through the lower section of the property.

For those who love the idea of growing their own food, much of the hard work has already been done. There's a large established vegetable garden and more than 40 fruit trees, most of which are already producing fruit. Add a chook house with adjoining greenhouse, and you have the foundations of a fantastic country lifestyle already in place.

Wake to birdsong, watch kangaroos wander through the property, listen to the kookaburras and enjoy evenings surrounded by the peace and privacy of your own bush setting. And for the water lovers, Pykes Creek Reservoir is just five minutes away, putting swimming, boating and water-based recreation practically on your doorstep.

While it feels wonderfully removed from the hustle and bustle, you're certainly not isolated. The property is conveniently positioned between Bacchus Marsh, Ballan, and Ballarat, providing plenty of choice for shopping, dining, services and everyday essentials, with Melbourne just under an hour away.

Whether you're looking for a country escape, weekend retreat, lifestyle property or a beautiful base from which to create something more permanent, this is a property that needs to be experienced rather than simply viewed in photographs.
