Set on a private hilltop in Chewton Bushlands, just 15 minutes from Castlemaine, Ukamirra is a beautifully built stone cottage surrounded by native bushland and with views over the south to Mt Macedon and Mt Franklin.
Inside, the home is warm and inviting. A comfortable, carpeted central lounge is complemented by a wood heater, exposed stone walls and high timber ceilings. The separate kitchen and dining area with gas cooking and a wood heater overlooking the garden and views beyond, creating the ideal space for slow breakfasts and long, relaxed dinners.
The home offers two downstairs bedrooms plus a third upstairs bedroom with built in robes. A highlight is the mezzanine overlooking the lounge – perfect for a home office or retreat. A central, modern bathroom with separate toilet completes the floorplan.
Stone construction helps keep the house naturally cool in summer, while winter is well catered for with two wood heaters and a gas heater.
Ukamirra operates off-grid with a well-established solar system and automatic diesel backup, providing reliable power year-round. Water is supplied via a 25,000L rainwater tank, and bottled gas services the instant hot water system and kitchen appliances. High-speed NBN fixed wireless (Telstra) is available.
Outside, the property sits on approximately 7 acres with an established vegetable garden, limited boundary fencing, dam, cottage gardens surrounding the house and ample areas to sit and enjoy the surrounding bushlands including under the large old oak tree.
Wildlife are your closest neighbours, kangaroos at dawn, native birds throughout the day and the hush of the bush at night. On warm days, Golden Point Reservoir is just seven minutes away for a swim or float among the ducks. Ukamirra is ideal for those looking for a peaceful, self-sufficient home in a unique natural environment.
The property is being offered as fully furnished. Available on a 6 month lease.
