Hi all,
In this post I wanted to share with you a little bit about where we will be building our beautiful little home.
As I shared briefly in my previous posts Tom and I will shortly be moving to his parents property in the beautiful rural table-lands 2 hours drive north of Melbourne. Tom and his brothers grew up on a stunning property that their parents Sharon and John created in a sleepy little farming community called Ruffy.
John and Sharon bought their little piece of paradise in the early 80's when land prices were cheap. The land they bought had a small tin and wood country church which they expanded and updated over many years into the beautiful family home that they now live in. In that time they also planted very productive fruit trees and organic veggie gardens were they produce a large portion of their own food. Ruffy is a little slice of tranquil heaven (except for the exceptionally loud sulphur-crested cockatoos that have made their home in the huge elm and pine trees lining the property) and this is where we will be living on and off for the next year.
John (Tom's dad) has a fully stocked wood workshop with all the power tools we will need for our build and we have already got the go-ahead from him and Sharron that they are happy to host our build. We are so lucky to have Ruffy as our build spot, it's just perfect!
There are some negatives of building so off the beaten track, as we will have to haul all of our materials either from reclamation and timber yards in Melbourne or Seymour. We will have to get very organised with the materials that we will be needing thats for sure!
Below are some photos of Ruffy so you get an idea of where we will be living! <3
