Clean, modern, sunny, single level home close to Sovereign Hill (one of Australia’s biggest tourist attractions), the Ballarat Wildlife Park, Australia’s spa capital Daylesford, historic streetscapes of Ballarat, shopping, galleries, restaurants and amazing bush walking.
The house is 10 years old with 4 bedrooms and two living spaces, one set up as a yoga studio and study area the other with couches and adjoining the kitchen and dining room. The garden is a small low maintenance space and has room for outdoor dining and bbqs. We have a number of interesting artworks on display and everything you need for family living. Central heating and evaporative cooling are both a must for our climate in Ballarat!
We have two resident cats who would love your company but alternative arrangements for them would also be considered if you have allergies etc. We also have a small dog who would mostly travel with us or stay with friends. Car swaps are also a possibility.

Suburban setting but in a bush environment. Mount Helen is on the south side of the large Victorian city of Ballarat and has Federation University at the centre of the suburb.
The house is close to major tourist attractions such as the historic Sovereign Hill, the Wildlife Park, Bird Sanctuary, spa capital of Australia Daylesford/ Hepburn, Creswick forests, the Art Gallery of Ballarat, and Ballarat has become known for its culture and food experiences. This is the centre of the proposed Goldfields World Heritage region, so historic sites abound!
Major events include: Road Nationals Cycling (Jan), Ballarat International Foto Biennale (Aug/Sept), Winter Festival (Winter Wonderlights June/July)
We are an hour from Geelong and also easily accessible is the Great Ocean Road and Otways National Park.
