68A Grenville Street, Daylesford VIC 3460

Superbly tucked away down a private laneway (on title) off paved cul de sac in the Fraser Springs community; this fascinating property percolates its own underground natural spring that could be tapped for a pond. The gently undulating land is on a rare secluded (yet so accessible) lot, zoned with Hepburn Shire as (NRZ) Neighbourhood Residential Zone and directly abutting the "Cornish Hill" crown land reserve; out the back gate are the walking trails that lead to town. All is steeped in wildlife and streams, including a platypus sighting, and wombats, wallabies and the odd koala. The land has morning and afternoon light and shade in the day with abundant bird life, including annual visits by two wedged-tailed eagles. The property is completely fenced with a wide gate that opens to walking-running trails that lead to town. Fencing has sheltered a goat, two sheep and chickens. This verdant block borders a little spring fed creek and an adjoining duck-frog-pond. The night sky guarantees a dense milky way and shooting stars to the North. The long-standing academic-writer-artist owner has even had an archery range on this property and has kept it herbicide-free for nearly twenty years (for those interested in organic gardening near the water tank as the soil is on lower slope and most productive). Currently there is a half-container that was purpose designed by local wood artist-builder with water tank. It has been used as a sculpting, writing studio (and was purpose built for loft sleep, too). It can be negotiated with the property, though the owner is prepared to move the container and leave the roof and water tank.
