Escape the ordinary and embrace a truly self-sufficient lifestyle on this breathtaking 6.6-acre property of bushland perfection (not too dense or sparse!), where living sustainably doesn't mean compromising on comfort or quality!
As you drive through the picturesque tree-lined driveway, the outside world fades away and tranquillity takes over. A generous clearing opens to the impressive family residence... expansive, welcoming, and perfectly positioned to capture one of the most breathtaking views: the Melbourne skyline.
Inside, the home offers an abundance of space for the growing family, boasting four bedrooms, a study, and three distinct living areas. High ceilings and timber finishes greet you at the door, while the open-plan living and dining area is bathed in natural light from large windows that frame those incredible views. The renovated kitchen is a showpiece — with waterfall stone benchtops, exceptional storage including two pantries, a gas cooktop, oven, and dishwasher, all designed for effortless entertaining. This entire area is warmed by a wood heater and complemented by split-system air conditioning.
The master suite enjoys its own private access to the decked entertaining area, a large walk-in robe, and a stylish ensuite with deep bath, vanity, and oversized shower. A study provides the perfect work-from-home location, while the formal lounge offers a cosy space to unwind, complete with split system and ceiling fan.
At the opposite end of the home, a dedicated kids’ zone includes three generous bedrooms with built-in robes and ceiling fans, plus a versatile playroom (or fifth bedroom) featuring its own woodfire, robe, and external access. The family bathroom is currently almost finished being renovated and features a large shower, toilet, and double vanity with enough storage for three teenage girls!
Step outside to the expansive decked balcony, ideal for entertaining family and friends or simply unwinding while overlooking the backyard, portable container pool, and Melbourne skyline beyond.
Completely off-grid, this home lets you live with freedom — and almost no bills.
-110,000L of rainwater storage connected to house, carport & shed with pump systems
-12kW solar system with 20kW battery storage plus 7kVa backup generator
-Current owners (a family with three teenagers) run the home almost all year-round on solar & battery alone!
-Solar-powered front gate for secure, easy access
The large shed with extra height is concreted, fitted with solar power, and includes generator access for tools and equipment. Additional storage comes via two 20ft containers, sheltered storage off the shed, and multiple wood sheds near the home. For peace of mind, a fire bunker has also been installed.
Wake up to the sounds of native wildlife, spot echidnas wandering by, and watch kangaroos grazing — this is the ultimate off-grid lifestyle that few get to experience.
Conveniently located just 15 minutes from Lara, 30 minutes from Geelong, and one hour from Melbourne, this exceptional Anakie property delivers a lifestyle of sustainable luxury and natural beauty — one that truly must be seen to be believed!!
