287 Back Wombat Road, Boisdale VIC 3860

The Provenance Thoughtfully designed and owner-built by a local engineer, this distinctive residence is a masterclass in passive solar principles and structural integrity. Crafted from local timber, stone, and earth, the home has served as a cherished family base for 40 years. It perfectly balances the romance of a bush retreat with the logic of insightful design.
The Home The layout features two striking octagonal wings linked by a welcoming entry porch. North-facing living areas capture winter sun through crafted timber windows, while established deciduous vines provide natural summer cooling. From double-glazed clerestory windows ensuring cross-ventilation to heavy insulation, every element has been calculated for year-round comfort. A slow-combustion wood stove adds ambient warmth in the cooler months.
The Systems (Off-Grid & Secure) Enjoy complete independence with very low outgoings. The property is fully off-grid, powered by a robust standalone solar system with backup generation. Water security is paramount, with 4 dams and 4 rainwater tanks. Safety is engineered into the site: the home sits on the south side of a gentle hill (cleared for fire protection) and features a dedicated roof and under-eave sprinkler system, fed by pump or gravity.
The Lifestyle & Work Set on 50 acres of thriving native bushland backing onto the Avon/Mount Hendrick Reserve, you are surrounded by ironbark forests and wildlife. Yet, utility is not compromised. The property includes:
• A 3-bay machinery shed and two workshops (ideal for trade or hobby projects).
• A separate office for interruption-free remote work.
• A self-contained guest space with ensuite.
The Location Located just 3km from the Avon River's swimming holes and walking tracks, you are a world away from the noise but close to the community. School bus routes to Boisdale, Maffra, and Sale are easily accessible.
This is a rare opportunity to secure a home where character meets capability.
