Thanks for the reply
I work at a concrete yard about 5k past Bacchus marsh which takes about 40 mins from daylesford so not too bad ,we were actually looking at a house in hepburn springs which is much the same time wise.
our budget is 400,000 and I was very surprised to see a lot of of places for that price on good size blocks.
Ido agree with you that you may have trouble selling at the moment as there dose seem to be a lot for sale around there but then we would commit to country live for a few years and there is always the option of renting it out if things were not for us.
the problem with melbourne for us and I am sure with so many others is 400,000 is not a lot of money here and will get you a
House very deep in the western suburbs which having spent several weekends driving around them dose not appeal to us so they country might be a good option,anyway thanks for your time as you probably figured out we are very undecided so feel free to sugest a few places if you like.
thanks again
