A tranquil country retreat with delightful views that will stand the test of time
This very rare two-level Rammed Earth home (see description at end of text) is sited perfectly on this 4,036 M2 rural parcel to take advantage of elevated and uninterrupted views towards the Leigh River. An additional 1,000M2 of crown land is available on lease at minimal cost to provide further area for storage or grazing. As these small semi-rural towns grow it has been increasingly hard to find somewhere to get away from it all but be close enough to Regional centres and larger townships.
The picturesque township of Shelford is the perfect option located equally close to the major regional cities of Geelong and Ballarat 35 minutes to each and only 15 Minutes to the town centre of Bannockburn. A trip to Melbourne will take 1 and a half hours so this property is ideal for those that can work from home a few days a week and travel in on others if you are still working. If you are retired even better. Enjoy the home and land for your hobbies and passions.
The nearby township of Inverleigh 10 minutes away has an 18 Hole Golf course and a superb hotel, cafes and bakeries. Shelford has its own small primary school and primary and secondary schools are available in Bannockburn and buses are available to all schools in Geelong and Ballarat.

Rammed earth houses are sustainable, durable dwellings constructed by compacting damp mixtures of earth, sand, gravel, and stabilizers (like cement) into thick, load-bearing forms. These houses offer exceptional thermal mass, regulating indoor temperatures and humidity naturally, resulting in low-maintenance, fireproof, and eco-friendly homes with a unique aesthetic.
