245 Old Highlands Road, Highlands | Mansfield Real Estate

Description

Whether you like views, nature, privacy, or a sustainable lifestyle, this property has it all! The 20.2 hectares, or just under 50 acres, has a lovely mixture of cleared land for a horse or two, and untouched bushland to explore. It's common to see plenty of birdlife as well as wombats, kangaroos, and echidnas wandering through. We were even greeted by a koala on one of our visits! There are two creeks meandering through the property, surrounded by pretty gullies and established gum trees.

The three-bedroom mudbrick home has been lovingly built to take advantage of the panoramic views of the Yea valley and surrounding peaks. The open planned living, dining, and kitchen area feature plenty of windows to let both the light and views through and the high ceilings with exposed beams make the space feel open and inviting. The stunning Jarrah floor in the living area leads onto the expansive deck with plenty of room to entertain family and friends. Did we mention the views? There are three generously sized bedrooms all with built in robes, and the bathroom and laundry have recently had new flooring and tiles installed.

Enjoy no electricity bills with this off-grid home. There is an established solar and battery system with back-up generator, gas fridge, wetback stove and woodfire for comfortable living. However, if you can't live without mains power, there is ability to connect from the top paddock. Outside there is a large carport, garden/wood sheds, plus a 'Jenny Craig' paddock for holding stock in a smaller area.

Only 15 minutes from Yea and less than two hours from Melbourne, this property offers space and privacy without compromising convenience.
