67 Curtis Road, Axe Creek VIC 3551

Many people talk about living a sustainable and eco friendly lifestyle but few actually take the next step to live it...mainly because it takes a lot of work to set up!
This property has all the hard work done. You can just move in and enjoy!
Situated on 20 acres of natural bushland, with an environmental conservation overlay, the present owners have planned and built meticulously to take advantage of their surroundings. Built of mud brick with a render finish, it incorporates all the insulation benefits that go with it. A wide shady verandah compliments the natural cooling and protects from the elements.
The interior of the house is beautiful in its simplicity. Clean rendered walls, polished timber floors, exposed beams, and natural stone floors and splashback in the kitchen and bathroom add warmth and ambience to the home. There are two bedrooms and a loft which could be used as a third bedroom, study or studio.
The bathroom has a free standing claw foot bath with overhead shower.
Sustainability is ensured with a standalone 4.7kw solar system with batteries, supported by a 5.5 kw generator. Cooking and heating is supplied by LPG gas and a wood stove. Solar and stove supply hot water backed up by LPG. Water is provided by 2 rainwater tanks and 2 dams. Dam water is gravity fed to the garden and septic toilet.
Phone is connected but you can survive totally off the grid with mobile reception! Outside there is provision for extension with concrete footings at the back of the house.
There is a 6m x 4m shed off the carport. The house yard is secure and there is a fox proof chook run and a number of fruit trees.
In the bush, there are more than 50 animal nesting boxes...homes for possums, tuans, parrots and owls. The current owners have observed more than 100 species of birds in the area.
All this there for you to enjoy... just 15 minutes from Strathfieldsaye, 7minutes to Eppalock Primary School and in close
proximity
to Lake Eppalock, the property is accessed by good, all weather roads.
