We used to live in Otway Ranges, beautiful climate, large mudbrick house purchased 1995. Due to illness of both hubby and myself we had to move to Bendigo (devestating day to leave the house we dearly wished to retire in). We are now able to move as hubby has achieved a diploma in conservation and land management over 3 years. We're looking for a place that has a mild climate - not likely to have consistent 40 degree days in summer or lots of snow in winter, and good rainfall (like the Otways!). The other consideration is hubby's job prospects, be great if there were national parks nearby or eco-tourism activites, and we have to live at most half an hour from a town with a dr, hospital, vet, supermarket for example. Our problem is only having $200 thousand to spend and we want a nice 3 bdrm brick home on 2 or so+ acres, so we dont think we can afford the Otway ranges again. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, we've both been through alot and cant travel to find the perfect place.
