A lakeside homestead in the Victorian town of Coongulla with 360 degree lake, mountain and valley views is the epitome of a tranquil and private getaway.
Set on a sprawling 24.28ha absolute waterfront Lake Glenmaggie landholding at the foot of the Victorian Alps, 53 Ryans Road, Coongulla is an architect-designed four bedroom, two bathroom home.
Sales agent Simon O'Donnell from Marshall White Stonnington said the magical residence was extremely private and its elevated position meant views were abundant from all aspects.
“For a place to get away and breathe some fresh air and pretend the world doesn’t exist, I think it ticks all the boxes,” he said.
“When I first walked in, what grabbed me and what still grabs me, is when I was sitting in the kitchen, the dining room, (or) the sunroom to all the bedrooms, I was looking directly over the lake.
“Then you’ve got the lawn that goes right to where the ground slopes the way down to the lake – you just think ‘I don’t get sick of looking at this.’”
In keeping with its natural surrounds, the home has been constructed from timber, iron and stone.
At the heart of the passive solar home, is a light and bright living dining area and kitchen which leads to a sun room, where views of the lake take centre stage.
A huge wrap around deck is complete with dining and seating areas to make the most of the views.
Other highlights include a laundry/mud room, an open fireplace, ducted reverse cycle air conditioning, a shed which can fit cars, boats and machinery and two water tanks.
Days spent fishing, swimming, boating or water-skiing directly from the home are literally at its doorstep with its direct waterfront access.
Mr O’Donnell said the vendors had used the home as a residence and a holiday home and have made substantial improvements over their ownership.
“Probably the time is right and they’re at to a stage where they want to limit that travel and live a little bit closer to town,” he said.
He expects the property will appeal to a “middle, upper management corporate” buyer who want a place to “get away and take a deep breath."
“It's not that hard to get to – there’s a major highway right through Traralgon in the heart of the Gippsland and then by the time you get to Coongulla you wouldn't know where you were in the world other than you've got peace and quiet and beautiful views,” he said.
The home has an asking price of $2.7million to $2.9 million.
