Retreat on the doorstep of the Macedon Ranges

Less than an hour from Melbourne, this retreat is the perfect getaway from the city life. Come as a couple, a family or as a group of friends, the property sleeps 8.

On the doorstep of Macedon Ranges, this home is perched amongst the trees in serene bushland. The superb landscape is a magnet for beautiful birds of all kinds, as well as kangaroos, wallabies, and wombats.

Far from city lights and light pollution, this natural bushland haven is a star gazers delight.

Surrounded by nature, this is a two bedroom and two bathroom home. Downstairs features, open plan kitchen (featuring modern Bosch and Siemens appliances), dining room and living room. Adjoining this is bathroom/laundry and study space.

Upstairs features two cosy bedrooms both with ultra comfortable king beds and built in robes. Enjoy a bath gazing at the stars in the additional bathroom upstairs.

Extra guests? No problem. Just metres from the main house, there are two additional bedrooms in unique shipping containers. These feature king beds, aircons and their own mini fridge. Relax in comfort, with a view of the trees through the double glazed glass doors. Perfect for additional family members or extra friends.

Please note, vegetation has been cleared around the home and there is landscaping work in progress. Therefore the landscape does look a bit rough but is still surrounded by plenty of beautiful trees and nature. Mother Nature is regrowing to help.
