Welcome to 21 Cuvier Street Mia Mia, a remarkable hillside retreat, offering peace, privacy, and an inspiring connection to nature-far removed from the hustle of city life.
Set on approximately 9,969m² (2.46 acres), the property is surrounded by fully established native gardens featuring iron sculptures, antique agricultural relics, and more than 3,000 native plants. The gardens are supported by a potable bore producing approx. 700 gallons per hour, creating a serene and sustainable environment ideal for relaxation and reflection.
The home itself is generously proportioned and thoughtfully designed, offering:
• Four bedrooms, including two main bedrooms both with ensuites

The upgraded kitchen is perfectly suited for entertaining family and guests, featuring an electric cooktop and wall oven, built-in microwave, corner pantry, and abundant bench and cupboard space.
Living and dining areas flow seamlessly onto a vast timber balcony, the perfect spot for sunset drinks, stargazing evenings, or quiet afternoons with a book. An east-facing deck provides a peaceful setting for sunrise breakfasts or coffee breaks, surrounded by lush, plant-draped rockeries.

With uninterrupted western views, the property captures the ever-changing course of the sun from north to south throughout the year. The outlook toward Mount Alexander is truly incomparable, providing a dramatic and ever-present backdrop of natural beauty that few properties can rival.
From the rear of the home, the outlook is exceptional, taking in the dramatic lava flow edges and the rift carved by Mia Mia Creek-a landscape feature that is far more than simply scenic. To the north lies one of the property's most charming aspects: "The Flat," also known as the Mia Mia Sportsground, where you can enjoy the timeless pleasure of watching cricket in summer and football in winter, adding a wonderful sense of community and seasonal life to the view.
Surrounded by grazing and cropping land, Mia Mia is a close-knit rural community of approximately 200 residents, located within the Heathcote Wine Region. Enjoy nearby boutique wineries and easy access to Lake Eppalock, just 6km away, offering fishing, boating, and water sports.
Rich in history, the area dates back to the 1853 gold rush, witnessed the passage of Burke and Wills in 1860, and is home to the Duigan brothers, builders of Australia's first aeroplane in 1910.
