WHEN THE BUSH CALLS. WILL YOU ANSWER?
This isn't a house with a bit of land. This is land with a house that knows its place. Eighty-five acres of proper Australian bush, tall gums, open paddocks and the kind of quiet that makes you realise how loud the rest of life is. Two-thirds of the block is untouched forest. No traffic. No neighbours peering over fences. Just birds, breeze and the occasional kangaroo hopping past like it pays rent. Morning and afternoon walks are yours to enjoy, completely undisturbed, with the bush as your only companion.
The 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom home sits comfortably within the landscape, designed to let the outside in. Windows everywhere. Afternoon breezes drifting through. Downstairs living is generous and easy, with high ceilings, tiled dining for low-fuss meals and a lounge that handles all seasons — slow combustion fire for winter, split system and fans for summer. Just off the lounge room there sits a study nook which be easily opened up to extend the scope of the lounge. The kitchen is light-filled and practical, with wide views across the property so you can keep an eye on the bush while the kettle boils.
Upstairs, the main bedroom is a seriously large retreat. Not just a place to sleep, but a space you can truly make your own. There's room for a creative studio, a library corner, a sitting area — or all three if you're ambitious. It opens onto the balcony, delivering sweeping views over the valley and surrounding bushland, plus moonrises that don't need a filter. On clear nights, the stars and planets put on a show — a private view of the cosmos without leaving your balcony. Private, peaceful and a very good reason to linger upstairs longer than planned.
The second bedroom is cleverly set up with its own entrance, ensuite, air conditioning and even a sink, making it ideal for guests, teenagers or anyone who values independence. There's also a constant-temperature cellar — wine storage, "everything" storage, or a naturally cool hideaway when summer decides to show off.

Outside is where time slows right down. The block has been thoughtfully landscaped with restorative plantings designed by a botanist to provide year-round habitat for wildlife, including some rare species. Established native plantings attract a staggering number of birds — 99 species recorded — along with kangaroos, echidnas and lizards. Wander your own forest. Sit quietly and listen to nothing. Or just watch the light move through the trees and forget what day it is.
York is just 15km away — cafés, bakeries, pubs, community events and all the essentials — with Midland around 66km down the road for your city errands.
If a proper tree change has been calling, this property makes a strong case. It's not just about the house in photos or the acreage on paper, but how the place feels when you're standing here. The quiet, the space, the uninterrupted bushland — it's the sort of setting that needs to be experienced to be truly appreciated. Come take a look when you're ready.
