This beautifully presented house has a light and spacious feel. It was built in 2012 and was designed to be energy efficient and to make the most efficient use of space. Being clad in Colorbond, it is very low maintenance,. There are three bedrooms and one bathroom, with a separate toilet which is accessible from the laundry or the bathroom. It has instantaneous gas hot water. Electricity is from the grid and from a 6.5 kW solar installation by Enphase, which is the top of the line. It has micro inverters and you can monitor the system from your computer. The solar panels produce an income of several hundred dollars per year, above what?s needed to pay the electricity bills.

Water is from a 4500 L tank, as well as town water supply.

There is an extensive native garden, as well as established and netted fruit trees. Also, several wicking garden beds. It has been very productive over the years.

The house has a 6-star energy rating, with double glazing on all windows and insulation all round, including underfloor.

There is a 6.0 m x 6.0 m Colorbond garage/workshop and a 2.0 m x 2.0 m garden shed, both with concrete floors, as well as a carport.

The house is on an elevated site which gives an extensive and ever changing view to the north, with Mt Alexander clearly visible in the distance. To take in this view, the north facing windows are floor to ceiling and the whole width of the living and dining areas.

This property demonstrates just what can be done on a standard block.

Malmsbury railway station is 10 minutes? walk away, and you can be on the Calder Freeway in 5 minutes. Central Melbourne is about 1 hour 15 minutes, Tullamarine Airport about 55 minutes and central Bendigo about 45 minutes. Kyneton, about 10 minutes away, has most shops, including two supermarkets, restaurants, several medical practices and a hospital and aged care home. In other words, the property is ?ideally located?.

The property would particularly suit people who are interested in nature and in the environment and keen on gardening and being somewhat self-sufficient. Perhaps downsizing or moving into town after living ?in the bush?.
