'River Star' is a remarkable property with over 300 metres of frontage to a beautiful stretch of the Delatite River, with a choice of swimming holes and lovely private spots on the riverbank to sit in the sun, listen to the water cascading over the rocks and relish the incredible sense of peace on offer here. If you're nice and quiet you might spot the deer coming down for a drink in the evening.
The thoughtfully designed home feels airy and unpretentious, but solid and incredibly comfortable in all seasons. Thick rammed earth walls and double glazing help keep the house naturally cool in summer, warm in winter and ever so quiet. The open plan living area flows out onto a huge covered deck that has room to entertain quite a crowd, or perhaps you just want to relax and watch the sunset with the soothing sounds of the river in the background. As darkness falls the firepit calls, with stories to be shared and amazing starry skies to be admired.
You will sleep better here and you can enjoy a more self-sufficient lifestyle if you choose, with fertile river flats providing ample pasture to run some sheep or cattle. The farm fencing is in excellent condition with 2 main paddocks to allow stock rotation, one with a spring fed dam and the other with a water trough and stock shelter. There's also a selection of established fruit trees and excellent raised beds to grow your own organic vegetables. The property includes riparian water rights with a high flow electric pump on the river with remote activation from the house in addition to a huge volume of rainwater storage. There's quite a long list of other valuable features that we can provide.
The booming regional town of Mansfield is a pleasant 10 minute drive with a school bus service. Lake Eildon is even closer, with a selection of deep water boat ramps at Goughs Bay only 5 minutes away. It's less than an hour to Mt Buller with snow sports in Winter, downhill mountain biking in Summer and some great hiking in the Alpine National Park throughout the year, but there's so many adventures and amazing experiences to be had without even leaving the property. What a beautiful place to call home!
