Inside the alleged hide out of Samantha Murphy's accused killer

The Scotsburn property where Samantha Murphy's accused killer allegedly hid in is up for sale with a $1million-plus price tag. 

Patrick Orren Stephenson was staying at the property when he arrested on March 6, after police stormed in with a search warrant. 

The 5.46 hectare property is located about 18km away from central Ballarat, where Stephenson was believed to have been partying the night before he was accused of murdering Murphy. 

Stephenson is believed to have been living between this property and another one located less than 100m away on Yendon No 2 Road with his girlfriend prior to his arrest. 

The Daily Mail reported that a for sale sign was recently spotted at the property, which has four bedrooms and is advertised as featuring "a renovated galley-style kitchen, a generous lounge room with plenty of natural light, two living areas including a family/rumpus room for shared moments."

"A school bus passing the front door adds to the convenience for families," the ad read. 

The property is also described as practically off-grid, with solar power and an underground bore water supply. 

It remains unknown how long Stephenson had lived at the home.
