Blissfully private, this four-acre property is a rare and precious opportunity to live self-sufficiently.
Off the grid in every sense, discover French Island’s eco-friendly charm just 60km south-east of Melbourne yet providing close encounters with koalas and abundant birdlife in an unspoilt landscape.
Featuring a large shed partly fitted out for weekend accommodation including a kitchenette and bathroom, there is a large building envelope with approval for a dwelling to admire northerly views across the bay.
Both the shed and a carport with lock-up workshop are wired for solar panels with a 3 kva back-up generator.
Just a short drive to Tankerton pier with daily ferry services to the mainland and neighbouring Phillip Island, French Island is becoming increasingly popular with those seeking out an eco-friendly and more sustainable way of life.
With fewer than 100 permanent residents, the island enjoys a primary school and general store and the ferry service connects with trains at Stony Point to Frankston and the city.
And because French Island is unincorporated and two-thirds national park, there’s no council or water rates to pay and less bureaucracy to deal with!
• Totally private 4 acre island hideaway
