13 GRAND RIDGE EAST, Mirboo North, Vic 3871

Eliminating a traditional lawn and replacing it by creating a naturalistic sanctuary of native trees and shrubs, pollinator friendly plants, including a self-sufficient edible garden was all part of the current owners’ vision. She has lovingly transformed and reimagined her everyday urban allotment, and turned it into a beautiful and productive paradise, her environmental practices have a name, and it’s called “The Urban Homestead” 

Ideally different and gaining in popularity “The Urban Homestead” practices are a growing trend to self-sufficiency on an urban allotment. Embracing this concept she was inspired to adopt this sustainable gardening practice, and her property has evolved into something unique, making it what it is today. Living lightly by growing and harvesting your own food is empowering and that’s exactly what this property provides for. Rainwater is collected and stored in a tank with a pump to assist in distributing the H20.
