Sustainable country retreat on 13 acres at Mirboo
Strawbale construction with solar power and spring-fed water supply create a fully self-sufficient South Gippsland lifestyle property.
Set on about 13 acres of beautiful rolling countryside at Mirboo in South Gippsland this established lifestyle property offers a rare opportunity to embrace a healthy country lifestyle that is more sustainable and self-sufficient.
At the heart of the property is an architecturally designed and professionally built three-bedroom home, complemented by productive gardens, established orchards and a range of sustainable features developed over many years.
Constructed using lime-rendered strawbale, the home has been thoughtfully designed as a comfortable, energy-efficient and light-filled country retreat.
Double-glazed windows, extensive insulation and substantial thermal mass, combined with passive solar principles, help maintain a comfortable internal temperature throughout the seasons.
The home features three bedrooms, one bathroom and light-filled open-plan living and dining with a central kitchen.
Designed for comfortable, energy-efficient country living, it also includes a 5kW solar system with battery backup, EV charging, solar hot water and wood heating.
Outside, the property offers a three-bay shed, workshop, woodshed, additional garden shed and greenhouse.
Water is supplied by a large tank and a reliable spring-fed pond, servicing the gardens and livestock.
Established gardens include six raised vegetable beds and a fruit and nut orchard, while three main paddocks and additional grazing areas provide space for livestock.
Cattle yards and a crush are also in place for practical livestock management.
Areas of established indigenous vegetation provide valuable shelter and habitat for native plants and animals.
Located about 15 minutes from Mirboo North, 17 minutes from Meeniyan and 25 minutes from Leongatha, with Melbourne's CBD just over two hours away, the property offers a peaceful rural setting within easy reach of surrounding townships and services.
For those seeking a genuine tree change, this is much more than a home on acreage.
It is an established country retreat where sustainable living, food production and comfortable rural living come together.
