In a commanding position just a stone’s throw from the sparkling waters of the Huntsman Lake, this enviable and exclusive property of 1.634 ha (just over 4 acres) offers a water’s view lifestyle. Nicely elevated and soaking up the sun, this home has privacy and position to view the sunrise over the lake while the spacious wrap around verandah invites you to kick off your shoes, relax and take it all in.

The Huntsman Lake is a premium trout fishing site fed by tributaries of clear water mountain streams teaming with brown and rainbow trout. Downstream of the lake, the Meander river presents the opportunity to wade in and fish, while a 45 minute drive will land you at the Central Highland Lakes and the world renowned Western lakes wilderness fishing experience.

The home hosts four large bedrooms, a formal dining room lined in Baltic pine with open fireplace and a spacious wood heated lounge, while the open-plan dining and kitchen space combines an Australian casualness with European styling and enjoys direct access to the front verandah with lakeside views and the rear elevated outdoor entertaining deck. As well as the gas range there is a wood fired pizza oven and a magical in-door garden for fresh grown herbs at your fingertips. The extensive use of Baltic pine and black-hearted sassafras timbers throughout gives this home its warm appeal, while a solar hot water system feeds wall panel heaters throughout the home.

Adding yet another unexpected element to a property full of surprises, in the grounds are two separate accommodation options – a cosy, one roomed cabin with wood heater and the old dairy converted into a three room complex also with a wood heater and currently encompassing a workshop. An established orchard with chestnut, olive, nectarine and apple trees, plentiful spring water gravity feed into two 5,000 litre tanks and a 10,000 litre rainwater tank, together with a 6 bay carport still doesn’t tell the whole story!

This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to secure an exceptional home in idyllic surrounds. This property currently has a planning permit for the development of four tourism units to have your own holiday accommodation or fishing lodge (STCA). Take advantage by being the first in the area to offer this kind of top-notch facility. A talented and capable architect and builder is standing by to complete the project.
