Pine Gully - 255 Landscape Road, Tallarook Ranges (approx. 104 acres) of cleared, mostly level land fenced into two paddocks with one large, one smaller dam and a cottage that is something out of the ordinary.

The cottage was professionally built for the vendor who has held and enjoyed the property with his family over the last thirty-six years. Its major construction is many thousands of recycled large bluestone blocks laid on a concrete slab that are thought to have come from the laneways of the old Newmarket Saleyards.

It is built as one room measuring 9 metres by 6 metres (or about 30 feet by 20 feet) forming the living and dining space with a large bluestone fireplace and chimney at one end with a large cast iron wood stove for domestic purposes.

Upstairs at the opposite end is a mezzanine level bedroom.

With its bulk it is environmentally efficient, remaining cool in the summer and retaining warmth in the winter.

An external toilet is connected to a septic tank, while rainwater is harvested into a concrete water tank for a regular supply.

The Pine Gully cottage is sited on a high point of the block and reached by a kilometre-long gravel driveway to the rear of the property.

The cottage is set in an established garden with avocado, olive, fig and apple trees that are mostly mature.

Two other buildings on the property are a large steel clad hay shed with a set of steel cattle yards adjoining, plus a secure steel double garage, also with a heavy concrete floor that is ideal as a machinery shed.

Pine Gully is about 13 kms off the Hume Freeway and about 90 minutes from the City, while the local Tallarook village with its monthly Farmers Market on the first Sunday of each month, caf, store and post office and a railway station provides all the services that humanity requires.

Pine Gully is a great opportunity for a family to have a weekend getaway, where a horse or motor bike riding could provide hours of fun, while the parents enjoy a simple relaxed lifestyle.

The bluestone cottage presents impeccably and has all the basic services.

The vendor will sell on a WIWO basis inclusive of the furniture and fittings in the cottage.
