94 Gonzaga Lane, Merrijig VIC 3723

This is rare and precious find in a prime and very private location in Victoria's magnificent High Country. There's just under 80 acres of productive farmland on title with a lovely little cottage but the real stars of the show are the spectacular views of Mt Buller and Mt Timbertop. Water is abundant with 3 big beautiful dams and Stony Creek traversing the property and on a slightly different tangent, the renowned watering hole 'The Hunt Club Hotel' (favoured by both Merrijig locals and 'Man from Snowy River' aficionados) is literally down the road. You can ride down and tie up your horse out the front!
But don't worry there is definitely no tourist traffic on Gonzaga Lane...it's a nice quiet country lane and the only neighbours you can see from the cottage are of the four legged variety! The charming original farmhouse currently offers 2 bedrooms with a renovated bathroom, functional kitchen and cosy light filled living areas. There's a 6.6kW solar system on the modern Colourbond roof, a new heat pump hot water service, a combustion wood heater and reverse cycle split system plus ample rainwater storage. So it is very liveable 'as is', but of course there is exciting potential to renovate or redevelop (STCA) to take full advantage of this amazing location.
The big hay shed and cattle yards are set well away from the house and easily accessed from the road. The land is very gently undulating, with some perfect spots for stables and an arena if you are an equine enthusiast. There is certainly some great riding straight out of the front gate. Or if you are more of a snow bunny, you can check out the conditions on Mt Buller from the porch and be hitting the slopes within half an hour. And if coffee is your passion you can be sipping a brilliant latte in Mansfield in about 15 minutes. Merrijig boasts it's own primary school and older children can catch the bus that services all the Mansfield schools at the end of School Lane. How apt?
You will find that everything does make more sense when you live in this part of the world. Life is not just good...it is great!
