454 Howes Creek Road, Mansfield VIC 3722

This is possibly the perfect holiday house, ready to accommodate all your family and friends (or paying guests). It's just over 2 hours from Melbourne, less than an hour to Mt Buller and only metres from the high water mark of Lake Eildon.

The floorplan is great for big families or groups with 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, multiple living areas and two large entertaining decks, plus there's a fabulous saltwater pool and a private outdoor shower. Big windows and sliding doors afford lovely natural light and fresh air for cross ventilation. Every room has it's own split system heating and cooling unit, and there's also a Euro fireplace in the upstairs living area.

The house is lovely but the shed is awesome!! It's huge (20m x 9m) with an extra high clearance roller door, concrete flooring and power plus additional undercover parking in the attached skillion. There's also a couple of carports (7m x 7m) and additional skillions.

With nearly 20 acres on title, including 3 well fenced paddocks with automatic water troughs and stockyards, there's plenty of room to run a few head of cattle and a pony or two. Water is abundant with 75,000 litre tanks plus an excellent bore and a large ornamental dam.

The water levels of Lake Eildon do rise and fall, and it's a great time to snag a lakefront property now while 'the tide is out'. The lake fills very quickly and you will be sitting pretty when it does, but in the meantime you can enjoy the peace and privacy on offer here.
