About occupants
My kids have flown the nest and I love this house – I’d like to create something special here, a real community.

I’m a creative director in my mid-50s (55) who works from home. An avid cook who loves making food from scratch, a passionate nature lover – the Darebin Creek is genuinely one of the reasons I stay. Three calm senior cats keep me company. I garden, try to tread lightly, and believe a home should feel like a sanctuary, not just a place to sleep.
Compatible people
This isn’t about age, relationship status, or life stage – it’s about values and mindset. I’m hoping to share the house with people who are intentional about how they live, and genuinely kind.

Financially established. I’m older and open to all ages, but I’m well past my party era.

People who enjoy having friends over, but understand that calm matters. Who care about sustainability, consume mindfully, and bring creativity and purpose to their days.

Gardeners, makers, quiet achievers – all welcome. No additional pets, please.

Sound like your kind of home?

DM me and Tell me a little about yourself. What you do, how you like to live, and what you’re looking for in a house.
Description of pets
3 senior cats. WIKI, Miss Bruce Willis and Tabby Moonbeam. Spend their time quietly sunning themselves.
