64 Mosquito Gully Road, Barkers Creek VIC 3451

At the end of a country lane, in a hidden valley sits this delightful north facing 4 bedroom rendered double brick sustainable home. Surrounded by remnant bushland, no visible neighbours, 50,000 litre rainwater tanks, septic system, stand-alone 1.3Kw solar power with generator backup; this is how to be away from it all and only a short 12 minute drive to Castlemaine and 5 minutes to Harcourt and the Calder Freeway. The four bedrooms all have built in robes, the master has ensuite and the main bathroom has been beautifully renovated; there's masses of storage, walk-in pantry, cathedral ceilings and the kitchen/living/dining area has outstanding 'crazy' paving centered around the wood-fired heater. The dam irrigates the enclosed orchard, vegie garden and chook pen, whilst the massive pergola allows for entertaining; there are bush views from every window in this very private part of the world. Your company includes kangaroos, wallabies, echidnas and the occasional koala, amongst the birdcalls and orchids. This is the perfect family home or country escape, yet still close to town.
