177 Goulburn Weir Road, Goulburn Weir, Vic 3608

This unique property provides a relaxed lifestyle in harmony with nature, or to
provide a world class location to build that dream mansion.

It would be hard to overcapitalise on this unique waterfront hideaway on Burrumurra.
The historic name for the largest and most private of the Nagambie Lakes at Goulburn Weir.

Situated in a private bushland setting the historic home has been sensitively
renovated to provide contemporary comfort and facilities whilst retaining its period
charm. Most rooms plus the front and back verandas have panoramic water views
featuring some awesome sunrises and sunsets.

One of the well-travelled partners is a city executive and the other a mining
professional, both enjoying an easy train or freeway ~1.5-hour commute to
Melbourne whilst maintaining the waterfront lifestyle.

The partners love of beauty and nature is reflected in the creation of this unique
living environment with the home featuring an impressive, eclectic collection of North
Asian art, artifacts and resort style mid-century and antique furnishings. Relaxing 'get
away' environments are found on both ends of the front and rear verandas. 

An extensive open plan living area provides an ideal entertainment venue. The 4 bed
2 bathroom home can be divided into two private self-contained sections by closing
the custom made, tracked timber partitions.

The private bushland waterfront setting of ~2 acres has been extensively landscaped
with a Zen like attention to detail and maintained without the use of synthetic sprays.
It has been created with the philosophy of only adding what will enhance and not
detract from the beauty of the natural bird/wildlife friendly habitat.

The gazebo is set up for entertainment with a commercial scale charcoal BBQ for
large gatherings with the close by alfresco area with kitchenette to extend the party
atmosphere and catering capacity.

For waterfront and overwater entertaining - the lower water-flat areas feature a
private jetty with detachable pontoon. An unparalleled environment to enjoy all the
water sports that can be enjoyed on Burrumurra. Including swimming, kayaking,
fishing (an angler's paradise) with fresh water crayfishing in season, rowing and
water skiing.

The resident and seasonal birdlife is amazing, in numbers and variety of species (too
many to list). There is no need to feed or attract them as they share their
environment with you. The smaller ones keep close to the house and humans for
protection from larger predators. Many waterfowl, parrots etc compete with the
residents for the produce from a variety of the property's fruit trees.

The landscape features a wide range of native plant species around a lagoon,
waterfall and a hidden underground wine cellar. It is structured with monumental,
weathered rocks and a collection of multi coloured mineralised specimens sourced
from gold mines deep underground. Incorporating with ancient river redgum
remnants salvaged from the surrounding waters of Burrumurra to enhance the
existing parklike, bird friendly habitat.

Solar panels provide cost effective electricity with a massive log burning convection
heater to keep the home cosy and warm through the cooler months, supplemented
by a heating/cooling air-conditioning system.

A 4-stage water filtration system, including ultraviolet, reduces 99.9% of toxic
contaminants. Far superior to the chemically treated (chlorinated with added fluoride
etc) town/city water systems. An unmetered water supply provides for all irrigation
needs.

The property features an 8m x 12m shed with concrete floor, antique wood heater,
water, power and toilet. It has its own beautiful water aspect with landscaping
creating a private space, separate from the homestead with a potential for further
development.

The Goulburn Weir was built in 1891, it acts as a valve to control river flows and
provides a safeguard from severe flood events. It was created as a Nation Building
Project to supply irrigation for the establishment of the northern and northwestern
Victorian intensely farmed agricultural areas. 

Located just down the road, it is set in public parkland that has attracted tourists over generations, 
some travelling from afar (see 20 Shilling note of the era photo that commemorated its completion).
The Nagambie Goulburn River region is the home of world class wineries including
Chateau Tabilk and Mitchelton, is a thoroughbred racehorse breeding centre (home
of Black Caviar), and many trophy waterfront properties. Situated north of the Great
Dividing Range it offers a more Mediterranean climate than that of southern Victoria.
177 Goulbourn Weir Road offers a unique, premium small acreage lifestyle
opportunity in a beautiful location that is easily accessible to Melbourne.
It is a property that is easy to fall in love with.
