NUGGETTY
HILL ( MUDBRICK COTTAGE) The mudbrick (adobe ) cottage was built from 7000 hand puddled mudbricks made from clay dug on the property. The internal finish is a traditional sieved clay and cow dung mix, finally painted with bondcrete. The external finish is sieved clay and vegetable oils to give a water proof coating. Nuggetty has a beautiful hill top position; north facing and with a 180 degree picture window outlook along the Yandoit valley. The northerly aspect and it's great mass keeps the house warm in winter and cool in summer. |

LAKE HOUSE (STONE TIMBER COTTAGE) The Lake House has a lovely over-water outlook. Built of stone collected from our land, and completed with cedar weather-boards, the cottage has a lovely range of colour and texture. The interior finish of timber , mud-brick and stone gives this cottage a really 'earthy' feel. |

SQUATTERS
PRIDE (IRON COTTAGE) This is our most controversial cottage! Constructed of galvanized corrugated iron; and with its interior beautifully pine-lined it was built with an Australian light timber frame, and a hip roof. This cottage stays very warm in winter, and is wonderfully cool in summer. Of course, it is fully insulated, and the all-round verandah gives the cottage a great Australian look and feel. |

COBB
& CO (TIMBER SLAB) The Cobb & Co Coach Company once travelled the Goldfields route between Ballarat and Bendigo passing through Yandoit. It is a post and beam construction with solid treated pine infills. The insulating factor of wood is a great plus. The solid timber feel' and the slithers 'of intruding light between the slabs and posts give this cottage a pioneer atmosphere. |

THE
LOOKOUT (TWO STOREY TIMBER COTTAGE) The Lookout stands firmly on a pole constructed platform well off the ground. It has a wonderful view over the valleys and hills. It is located on the edge of a large dam. This two storey cottage has a mezzanine bedroom with a wonderful void highlighted by vertical lengths of ripple iron from floor to ceiling. The bathroom is all iron. |
