Tucked away in the historic gold mining region of Morrisons—now a peaceful pocket of sheep country less than 90 minutes from Melbourne—this approx 6.1 acre off-grid sanctuary offers a rare chance to truly unplug. With direct frontage to the stunning Moorabool River, breathtaking panoramic views, and a cosy, lovingly restored cabin, this property is the perfect blend of rustic charm and natural beauty.
The one-bedroom, open-plan cabin has been rebuilt from the ground up and thoughtfully finished to make the most of its surroundings. Insulated and sun-drenched, it stays toasty through winter with a Nectre wood-fired oven and heater. A wide, decked area wraps around three sides, with an outdoor summer kitchen perfect for alfresco dining under the stars.
The cabin has been enjoyed for decades as a weekender. It features a small bathroom setup, A 7500L water tank and a dam provide a reliable water supply, while the property’s fencing and elevated position offer privacy and peace.
Across the road, the permanent Moorabool River flows—home to platypus, trout, and the occasional speck of gold. Whether it’s swimming, fishing, blackberry foraging, or just lazing on the bank, the river adds a whole new layer to your weekend escape.
The land itself also holds future promise: a potential house site at the top of the block boasts sensational views. This is a place to breathe. To unwind. To slow down. With vibrant local towns including Meredith and Ballan nearby (and their bakeries, pubs, and events), you’re not far from amenities—but you’ll feel a world away.
