12 Highview Rise, Metung VIC 3904

Perched above the village with water glimpses through the trees, this timber-lined retreat sits on 1307m² of elevated land where the hills roll down to the Gippsland Lakes. It's the kind of place where you pour your coffee on the full-width rear deck and watch the morning light move across the surrounding bushland, close enough to the village to walk for breakfast, far enough to feel completely removed.

The home lives like a lodge. Vaulted ceilings, wall-to-wall timber panelling, exposed brick, and a fireplace that anchors the main living room. The whole upper level is designed around connection to the outdoors-multiple sliders open the space to the elements, and that rear deck runs the entire width of the house. It's where you'll spend your time.

The kitchen sits toward the deck side, positioned to capture the view and natural light while you're cooking. Three generous bedrooms line one wing.

The main bathroom has everything-separate shower, bath, toilet, and a timber vanity that matches the home's warm aesthetic. There's a proper laundry with external access, and split-system heating and cooling in the main living area.
Out back, there's a surprise: a fully timber-lined room housing a built-in spa. Use it as intended or reimagine it completely-the bones are there.

Underneath, the sloping site creates serious storage and workspace. An oversized double garage, a large basement workshop area, and plenty of room to tinker, store, or expand if you ever wanted to add more living space.
The land is easy, mostly grass, gently sloping, framed by established trees. The elevation gives you outlook and privacy without feeling isolated. You're in the Village precinct, which means you're walking distance to Metung's cafes, the yacht club, and lake access, but you'd never know it from the deck.

This is a solid, character-filled home with space to move, privacy to breathe, and a position that delivers on the Metung lifestyle without compromise. Ideal for anyone chasing the lakes, the green, and a place that feels like a weekender year-round.
