9 Otway Park, Cape Otway, Vic 3233

This large, beautiful, mud brick country home sits on 1.7 hectares (4.2 acres) of pristine Cape Otway forest near Apollo Bay. It is set in an open grassy clearing with great privacy, yet less than 2 minutes from the main road.
The house has 4 bedrooms, combined bathroom/laundry, separate toilet, a galley kitchen and a very large open plan lounge and dining area. An extra room currently an office, sewing, storage room could easily be a fifth bedroom.
The floors are a combination of tiled and timber floors with mainly timber ceilings.
This property is totally energy self-efficient with ample solar panels, a very quiet wind turbine, a massive battery room and an efficient backup diesel generator.
The kitchen has a wood stove that heats the hot water service as back up to the solar power. The open plan family area is warmed by a central wood heater.
There are two carports and a separate garage/shed, to house vehicles, machinery, the generator, fire wood and a workshop.
This property is set on 172 acres of natural bush; the park was originally designed to provide a unique opportunity to dwell within the heart of Cape Otway in total harmony with the wilderness. This was achieved through a rural cluster sub-division, which is a fantastic idea, ahead of its time.
Otway Park contains 16 lots, of which there are 9 dwellings to date. The clever layout of the lots assures complete visual isolation between dwellings. The lots vary in size from 1.58 acres to 4.50 acres, the average being 4.47 acres. Lot 6 is 2.5 acres.
The 16 lots occupy a total area of 70.13 acres, leaving 100.37 acres of common land jointly owned by lot owners.
The common land has many walking trails throughout making it possible to observe the extensive wildlife such as white goshawks, gliders, powerful owls, potoroos, bandicoots, wallabies, eagles, black cockatoos, gang gangs and plenty of koalas.
Otway Park enjoys close proximity to the Parker River mount and beach, Blanket Bay, Point Franklin, the stunning Crayfish Bay and of course the Cape Otway Light Station.
