Spanning approximately 28 acres of native bushland and bird habitat the property stretches from Centre Road through to Lake Victoria with direct frontage to the sandy shoreline. Mature trees and coastal vegetation provide complete seclusion with the landscape wrapping naturally around the homes to create a peaceful and private setting. Sustainability underpins the property with both residences fully off grid and designed for low impact living allowing you to enjoy this environment while treading lightly within it. Mornings begin to the sound of native birdlife with the beach only steps away for a quiet walk along the shoreline as the lake comes to life. Koalas, wallabies, kangaroos and an abundance of birdlife including the distinctive yellow tail black cockatoo, sea eagles, scarlet honey eaters and the endangered swift parrot are regular visitors, reinforcing the deep connection to the natural environment. While the setting feels wonderfully remote accessibility remains easy with a short ferry crossing connecting you to Paynesville, home to some of East Gippsland's best cafés, eateries and boating facilities. It is a lifestyle that feels a world away yet remains close to everything needed including a Primary School, Doctor, Dentist and Supermarket.

Water views from the living spaces are complemented by leafy bushland outlooks creating a calm and inviting atmosphere throughout the home.

Thoughtfully configured for year-round comfort, the home is supported by solar power and hydronic heating, aligning everyday living with the property's strong environmental focus and making it well suited to permanent living, extended stays or relaxed entertaining. The second home, known as Thornbill Lakehouse, captures the essence of an island escape.
