100 Tulley Road, Lima East, Vic 3673

This property offers exciting potential for your family to live a self-sufficient lifestyle in complete privacy.  The energy efficient home was built with a huge volume of bricks, concrete and steel and will be standing proud for many years to come.  Sure you could update the late 80's decor, but what a great, rock solid, base to work with.  

The house is set on the highest point of the block, which boasts a very gentle slope towards the road on the Northern boundary.  The orientation means the huge living areas (upstairs and downstair) both enjoy the perfect solar aspect with big North facing windows framing the views across the front paddock and out to the mountain ranges on the horizon.  
 
As well as 3 big bedrooms and a selection of large multipurpose living areas, the home also boasts a large underground cellar/fireproof bunker. You can stash some emergency supplies or maybe create an incredible wine store with natural climate control.

8.5kw solar systems dramatically reduce the power bills, with 3 phase mains power allowing you to operate all kinds of machinery in the downstairs workshop.  In addition to the garage under the roofline there's also a 8m x 4m lock up shed, plus a couple of smaller sheds.

If you're keen to live more sustainably you will love the great selection of fruit trees and productive veggie patch with ample water supplied by the excellent bore, plus there's enough pasture to run a little herd of sheep and a few head of cattle.  If you do need to purchase supplies the Swanpool General Store is only a few minutes drive, midway between Benalla and Mansfield.
