Off-grid mountain bush retreat with 1 1/2 bedroom cabin overlooking a permanent creek. 1 1/4 acres surrounded by State Forest in old gold mining town under 3hrs. north east of Melbourne.

The timber cabin has 1 bedroom plus loft, kitchen with natural edge slab cut benchtops, bathroom with flushing toilet, laundry, lounge with wood heater, satellite TV and internet, verandah, hot and cold water, fully wired and plumbed.

Carport with small workshop.

No electricity bill as off grid and powered by a reliable hybrid (micro hydro/solar) power system, large 24 volt battery bank(5 y.o.), 2.5 k/watt inverter/charger and all good quality control equipment.

Delicious water from a pristine spring fed mountain stream constantly feeds 27,000 Ltr. water tanks. All gravity fed(no pumps). Also services hydro plant, fire fighting setup and garden taps.

The cabin is very liveable, but needs a few finishing touches to reach Council Approval. Ideal for a handyperson to finish the dream, adding your own personal touch along the way. The Council issued a Building Order 3 years ago where it must meet 2006 Building Regulations. I have since addressed and resolved 95% of the issues and provided necessary Certifications. All the hard work is done. I would be happy to discuss the current standing with Council or any other concerns that you may have.

Unfortunately due to old age and bad health I am unable to complete myself and must relocate. Having a mechanical and electrical background, this property has been a 20 year project for me. Built with thought, practical common sense and nature working for me in many ways. No pumps, no carbon footprint, no electricity or water bill, and constant spring fed water supply.

Enjoy your time in this tranquil bush setting. Digging for gold in back yard mine site(with gold), or within the local gold bearing area. Fishing local creeks and Upper Goulburn River for plentiful trout. 4WD and motorbike tracks abound. Deer hunting. Play in the snow a couple of times a year. Learn the fascinating history of this 1860s gold mining area. Or just kick back and relax.
