About
House sit our 2 dogs and 5 chooks in a peaceful country setting while enjoying the springtime colours of our one acre garden. Our mud brick home and garden sit in the middle of our 12 acre semi-cleared bush property. We are 12 minutes from Buninyong, 25 minutes from Ballarat Central and one hour from Geelong.
We are self-sufficient for power and water so no utility bills. Reliable internet via Starlink enables working from home in the house or our separate studio. We have loads of room for caravan storage.
Our pets
Two house dogs; female border collie and female kelpie, both five years old.
Five chooks.
