Set in the heart of the Heathcote wine region, this appealing rural property offers the perfect opportunity to enjoy space, privacy and the relaxed lifestyle that country living provides. Positioned on a generous 100-acre holding (90-acre title plus a 10-acre lease) and surrounded by picturesque natural scenery, the property offers the ideal balance of peaceful seclusion while still being within easy reach of the Heathcote township and all essential amenities.
The off-grid home provides comfortable living with a practical floorplan designed for everyday functionality.

Completing the interior is a bathroom with shower, vanity and toilet, along with a laundry that provides external access to the rear deck and ramp.
The home is powered by an off-grid solar system comprising 12 panels connected to a 24-volt system with a 1000-amp gel battery, supported by a 6 KVA generator with automatic start.
Outside, the property truly shines. With expansive open space, there is plenty of room for gardens, animals, recreational activities or simply enjoying the tranquillity of the surrounding countryside. A Paved BBQ area sits proudly on a rise amongst the trees. Water supply is well catered for with four 5,000-gallon (19,000L) tanks. Two tanks service the home, a third is filled from the dam for gardens, orchard and animals, and the fourth tank is connected to the shed and can be transferred to the house tanks if required.
Shedding is well established and versatile. A 9m x 10m Colourbond shed with power and water is divided into three main areas including a single car garage, home office or gym, and a two-room studioperfect for those working from home, guest accommodation or a games room. There is also an additional carport attached to the side. A second shed provides an ideal workshop, measuring 12m x 4m with concrete floor and power, along with a separate generator shed.
