Bell Real Estate Emerald property consultant Samantha Scott said the abode, aptly named the ‘Rainy Hill Retreat,’ was incredibly unique and the “epitome of the fairy tale home”.
“It’s really one of a kind. Everything they’ve done, they’d done properly,” Ms Scott said.
“There’s lots of kangaroos and wallabies. When I took someone through the home, we (even) found deer footprints.”

Ms Scott said one of the owners was an arborist, which was why there was rich, rustic timbers throughout the home.
“The property has three acres of fenced yard, and the rest is natural with the wildlife keeping it nice and tidy for you,” she said.
“The shed is more impressive than the average home.”

Near the main house, the 180sq m shed has a number of workshop and storage spaces, a studio, bathroom and split system upstairs, all within rammed earth.
She added that the home is so secluded, she had sold 100 acre homes with more road noise.
“It doesn’t get more private or more ambient. it’s a real lifestyle home,” she said.
