THE FARM AT MIRRIM WURNIT
Deep Creek, Macedon Ranges, Victoria
A place to live well, give more than we take and leave the land better than we found it.
Welcome
The Farm at Mirrim Wurnit is our home on Deep Creek in Monegeetta, Macedon Ranges Shire. It is a place to live well, enjoy the country and give back where we can.
The landscape needs to be worked, but it is not a full-time commercial farming enterprise.
Livestock, pasture, revegetation and land management are all part of life here, alongside the house, the gardens, the creek and the surrounding bush. We have managed the property with a long-term focus on soil, water, biodiversity and landscape health, with grazing and agricultural production in a supporting role.
That approach leaves room for future owners to decide what the property becomes. It could remain a small working farm, evolve as a lifestyle property, or simply be a place to live, spend weekends and enjoy the landscape.
What matters to us is that the foundations are already here: a productive landscape, established revegetation, functioning off-grid infrastructure and a property that has been cared for with the long term in mind.

From the Farm
What we’re doing on the land, what we’re learning, and what we’re noticing as the seasons change.
There is no tractor at Mirrim Wurnit. People are often surprised by that.
There’s a temptation, on any working farm, to keep things tidy. At Mirrim Wurnit we’ve come around to the opposite view.
Sometimes you just need to roll up your sleeves and get things done.
