Overview

A Truly Unique Private Home on 3,110sqm with Exceptional Natural Beauty!

Perched on a gentle slope leading down to the Lerderderg River, 16 Hills Road is more than just a home, it's a lifestyle deeply connected to nature, peace, and history. Set on a 3,119 square metre block and only 91 Km from Melbourne, Blackwood s quiet end of town, this three-bedroom property is steeped in Australian heritage, surrounded by original mine shafts, water races, and thriving native flora and fauna. A resident family of endangered Gang Gang cockatoos, including three chicks, call this bushland sanctuary home. The home itself has been designed with comfort and character in mind. There are three generous bedrooms and two distinct living areas, all filled with warmth and charm. The sparkling kitchen overlooks a light-filled lounge and dining area, complete with a wood-burning fireplace. A second lounge features art deco leadlight windows and timber French doors that open onto a sprawling undercover west-facing deck, perfect for outdoor living. This space looks out over raised garden beds, a custom-designed chook run, and an enclosed orchard. Across the river, the Wombat State Forest rises dramatically, enhancing the quiet seclusion and natural beauty of the setting. The master suite is a true retreat, featuring solid timber French doors that open to a bright, open ensuite with slate flooring and a luxurious claw-foot bath. There are also two additional good-sized bedrooms and a central bathroom. The land itself is a sanctuary. Extensive pathways lead from the front door to the river and beyond, creating a seamless flow between home and nature. The current owners, both certified forest therapy guides, have lovingly restored the surrounding bushland. Their passion for the land is evident in every detail, from the native landscaping and meandering trails to the quiet seating nooks and serene swimming hole. Visitors are encouraged to follow their journey at Return to Nature, where they share their connection to the space and the forest walks they host from home. Outbuildings add further versatility: a 20x40 15 amp powered shed on a concrete slab, a separate 10x6 studio (also on a slab), a charming replicated miner's hut, and an original miner's hut now used as a garden shed. A caravan with connected utilities also remains onsite, offering additional options for work or guests. This is truly unique land within the Wombat Forest, rich in biodiversity, privacy, and possibility. It would be near impossible to find another property with the same balance of natural beauty, history, and thoughtful restoration. Please note: Due to the size and scope of the property, it is recommended that visitors allow at least one hour to explore the grounds and outbuildings prior to scheduled inspection times.
