10 acres hosted by Nicola S.

2 lodging sites · 4 Vehicle/Tent sites

We are a small permaculture homestead and co-living community with a focus on regenerative agriculture, natural building and communal living. We are in the early stage of our journey, as we set up the homestead infrastructure. Long-term, our plan is to be semi-self-sufficient, and to grow almost all of the food we need to feed ourselves. At the moment there are about 13 of us, including 4 kids sharing the main house on the property. We are on 10 acres of mostly open paddock, surrounded by a small seasonal creek on one side, a large 250m swimmable dam on the other, and 50 acres of nature reserve to explore next door. The expansive Muckleford State Forest is just beyond, great for mountain biking, bush-walking and discovering old historical relics from the gold mining days. We are just 5km from Castlemaine town centre, which is an easy cycle or a 5 min drive. You might like to spend your free time adventuring, exploring the property, swimming in the dam, enjoying a fire bath or wandering through the forest. We'd like to respect the privacy of other residents living here, so please keep to the camping area on the south half of the property. If you're curious about our hempcrete house, vegie gardens or to ask us more about community living, please make sure to ask us *before* your stay, and we may be available to chat to you or show you around. However, there will be times however when we wont have capacity to greet you or show you around.
