Goorambat has a primary (farm) school, post office and hotel/pub as well as sporting facilities/teams.
The home is like no other on the market: semi-circular passive solar design, extensive north facing views (with 7 sets of double full glass doors to 4m verandah), 2 dbl. doors to main bedroom, entirely handcrafted (using reclaimed timbers), hand rendered, hand plastered ceilings throughout with exposed beams, open plan kitchen/living - island bench, SS LPG gas cooktop, SS elec. oven, SS rangehood, SS dishwasher, timber floors, 2.1-2.7m ceilings, earth floors (tbc - to bedrooms & hallroom) with 4m ceilings, plenty of natural light, waterless toilets (Rotaloo), Solar Hot Water, outstanding insulation (R5+), low running costs.
Plus extra strawbale building 32m2, double doors at each end, plus pedestrian door, (suitable as workshop, garage, granny/teen flat, B&B, studio, home office ++) plenty of water (town (min. rstrctns) and tank 45,000L), extensive garden: olives, plums, apricots, pears, grapes, apples, locut, cumquat, (citrus, passionfruit, almond and walnut - tbp) plus over 50 native & deciduous trees.. a home that has to be experienced to be truly appreciated.
