We are looking for a couple (or 2 singles) to take over our home from May 23rd- Sept 23rd (4 months) over winter, while we are off galavanting in Canada.
It is a unique and beautiful FULLY FURNISHED 3 bedroom wilderness retreat on 5 acres in Gherang, which is 1.5 hours from Melbourne or 20 minutes to Anglesea and the Surf Coast.
Our landlord lives in a detached bungalow on the property, he takes care of all property maintenance and mowing and is really friendly but keeps to himself.
It is $465/week including utilities ($2014/month). Internet is negotiable depending on how much data you need.
We expect you to treat it like your own home with awareness of living on a property, grey water, tank water usage, solar (but on grid) and healthy sustainable living. We are on tank water (with a very large tank).
The main bedroom has an ensuite and walk in robe (+ AMAZING custom made king size bed). The other bedrooms are currently offices, however we can convert one into a second bedroom with a queen size bed. Printers, scanners, stereos, everything you need.
Main bathroom is huge with a full bath. There are books, so many books to read while you relax in the tranquility! + easy to look after houseplants to keep you company.
The main area is mud brick open plan living with a fireplace and and ENDLESS supply of FREE firewood - what more could you ask for? The kitchen is fully stocked with dishwasher, modern appliances and gas 5 burner stovetop. Full size washing machine (laundry).
There is a garden that will be not doing much over Winter but if you have a green thumb we welcome any ideas to keep it going/get it ready for the next season.
If you or anyone you know would like to escape Melbourne this Winter and live somewhere beautiful and peaceful for 4 months, please get in touch. We are looking for responsible lovely people who will enjoy it like their own home.
