38 Blue Gum Track, Ashbourne VIC 3442

If you are looking for the often requested but rarely available ‘shack’ hidden among the gum trees to use as a weekend getaway and enjoy the fresh country air, birdlife, kangaroos, wallabies, echidnas and even the occasional koala, this rustic property could be your dream come true.

Evocative of a settler’s cottage, the 50-year-old, one owner, mud brick residence of approximately 77m2 (8 squares) includes a sitting/kitchen/meals area, sleeping area, and a detached bathroom with toilet. Features include solar power, hydronic heating, a fire bunker, double garage, some shedding, a small orchard and three dams.

Sometime in the future, you might decide to renovate, extend or even demolish the existing residence (it’s the land value that always appreciates) and build a new eco home befitting the property’s tranquil setting.
