1068 West Cann Road, Noorinbee North VIC 3890

Have you ever dreamt of escaping the hustle and bustle and living in an off-grid paradise where you can grow your own fruit and vegetables and raise your own animals? Well dream no more! "Naroot" is a beautiful 41 hectare property located approximately one kilometre off an excellent bitumen road down a quiet country lane.

The unique, four-bedroom home is of rammed earth and predominantly local timber construction. Powered solely by solar (with diesel generator backup) and sitting on concrete stumps, the home comprises three generous, light filled bedrooms finished with a distinctly country feel. The compact fourth bedroom is perfect for a single bed or bunks. A unique shaped, light-filled living area has views over the lower reaches of the property and has an adjoining north-facing deck to relax on. The country style kitchen and dining room has a beautiful feature Waterford Stanley wood fired stove, perfect for the most delicious roasts you'll ever taste! A small walk in pantry and a laundry nook are also to the rear of the home. A small slow combustion wood heater in the living area helps keep the home warm during the cooler months.

A children's retreat at the entry to the hall would make also make a great study or home office. A family bathroom off the retreat has both bath and shower and even a separate toilet, providing all the comforts of the city. A loft above the bathroom, currently only accessible by portable ladder, would make a great fifth bedroom with the addition of a drop down attic ladder or some stairs.

West Cann Road divides the property into two sections. The upper section of approximately seventy-nine acres is predominantly bush and gradually rises up from the road to where it borders hundreds of thousands of acres of State Forest where deer hunting is permitted. You will also never be short of firewood here! A near new 9x6m Colorbond shed is perfect for storing farm gear and machinery. Alongside the shed is a concrete water tank which gravity feeds water under the road to the home.

The lower section of the property is all fertile river flats and is approximately nineteen acres. There is also an additional nine acres (approx.) of land attached to the property under an Agricultural Licence. Direct pedestrian access to the Cann River is available, perfect to cool off on a warm summer's day. There is also 12 megalitres of water rights available from the Cann River for irrigation, stock, dairy and domestic use.

The home is surrounded by fruit trees and there's even a netted veggie patch area to ensure your produce stays yours! Settle down on the lawn in the cooler months around the wood-fired barbeque or a fire pit and savour the serenity. A carport and storage shed to the southern side of the home is also the base for the solar array, provide battery storage and also cover for the diesel back-up generator. Additional undercover storage for vehicles is available under a carport spanning the entire eastern side of the home.
