Off Grid in the Woolshed Valley Eldorado
For a visceral bush immersion in the heart of Victoria’s Woolshed Valley, venture just beyond Eldorado to your peaceful bush escape . It’s here, on the deck of the off-grid home – immersed in the sounds of the babbling creek and the kookaburras, and the heady scent of eucalyptus – that you can press pause on all the to-do lists and just be. This is Ned Kelly country (police chased Kelly and his gang right through the property), but for thousands of years before that, and still, it belongs to the Bpangerang people.
Beechworth, Milawa and the High Country are all nearby but with so much to explore on your doorstep, you’re best off lacing up your boots to discover specially commissioned First Nations artworks and beautiful lookouts within the 54-acre Land for Wildlife registered property – there’s even a waterfall just 500 metres from the border. Then, sink into the outdoor bath and slow time with a hefty dose of analogue books and games.
As a sustainable and comfortable off-grid home with nature at its doorstep, this Eldorado accommodation is the perfect place to unwind, disconnect and reconnect with nature. While staying with us, you can explore the nearby towns of Wangaratta, Milawa, and Beechworth or visit Barry's falls, The Ned Kelly Trail, and Woolshed Falls. Besides being one of the most beautiful spots in Australia, Eldorado also has a long history of gold-mining activity dating back to the Gold rush. It's also home to ancient sacred mountains that served as birthing places for the indigenous tribes that inhabited the area hundreds of years ago.
