The Blue House offers an affordable opportunity to experience the absolute peace and seclusion of rural Victoria, without going too rustic on the accommodation. Well away from the busy highways and towns, even well away from the property owner's homestead and studio/ gallery, this is a one and only guest cottage so you will be guaranteed to have the hills to yourselves. But if you start to hanker for the popular attractions it's not far to the Pyrenees Wineries or even the Grampians.

Property Description:
In a former life The Blue House was a country Post Office building. It now stands newly reincarnated as a neat, self-contained country retreat for two, in a secluded corner of a large rural property. The cottage consists of a lounge room with wood fire, a galley kitchenette and a bedroom with an ensuite. Polished floors and fresh new appointments provide a comfortable, modern environment. The verandah wraps around to a carport.

The views from the windows and verandah look up across the peaceful valley, over vineyards to surrounding hills. Nearby State Parks offer well marked walking tracks, hang gliding sites and an abundance of native birdlife and animals, such as kangaroos, wallabies and echidnas.

Special Features:
The property also has an art gallery and resident artist's studio.
