Escape to the serenity of Victoria’s High Country in this hand-crafted designer log home, nestled on 7 private acres just minutes from Lake Eildon. Located in the peaceful and secluded Sunny Valley area, this spacious retreat is perfect for families, couples, or groups of friends, comfortably sleeping up to 9 guests across 4 bedrooms. Thoughtfully designed for both relaxation and adventure, the home features stylish interiors with modern furnishings and premium finishes. Step outside to discover an entertainer’s paradise: enjoy 2 BBQs, an outdoor bar seating area, and 3 firepit zones—ideal for unwinding with a glass of wine or roasting marshmallows under the stars. Nature lovers will delight in the local wildlife, with kangaroos often seen grazing on the front lawn and resident kookaburras providing a cheerful wake-up call each morning. Situated on a quiet, secure street just 5 minutes off Maroondah Highway (sealed road access), you're only 8 km from Bonnie Doon, 20 minutes from Mansfield, and just 45 minutes from the Mount Buller ski resort. There’s also ample parking on-site for boats, jet skis, or trailers—perfect for lake days and snow adventures alike.
