A very rare chance to secure a prime riverfront holding in a truly incredible setting. The Howqua River wraps right around the 5 acre property, which is tucked away between the Alpine National Park and The Mansfield State Forest. It is one of only a tiny handful of privately owned properties in the Howqua Hills Historical Area. Access is either via Merrijig, Sheepyard Flat and then past Tobacco Flat, or alternately via Howqua River Road, Steiners Road and then Howqua Hills Track. 4WD is recommended.
Don't be fooled by the remote nature though, there are still plenty of creature comforts to be had with the 6 bedroom lodge style home powered by a 2KW Victron Energy Off-Grid solar and battery system with back up generator. There is even a phone line and internet available!
Probably the most popular feature of the property is a huge covered alfresco area with an outdoor kitchen featuring a built in BBQ and massive fireplace complete with spit and hot plate. The open plan living area indoors features a cozy wood fire and plenty of space for you and your mates to share a beverage, a yarn and a meal when it's a bit too chilly outside. There is a gas stove run via gas bottles, which also power the hot water system. Everyone will appreciate the nicely equipped bathroom with shower and separate toilet.
When it' s time to retire you have your pick of six decent sized bedrooms, or perhaps you just want to lay out the swag on one of the lush lawns surrounding the home and look up at the stars.
There are plenty of water tanks, storage sheds to hold firewood, tools and supplies, not to mention the crystal clear Howqua River, which runs through part of the property and skirts around the remainder. Why not drop a line in and catch a trout or two for dinner? As perfect as this property is for keen fishers, it will also appeal to hunters, 4WD/Dirt Bike enthusiasts, horse riders and those who just want to completely escape the rat race. You can use it yourself, and earn a nice little income from holiday rentals when you are stuck in town. You definitely don't want to miss this once in a lifetime opportunity to own your very own piece of High Country heaven!
