The Mill Bend House
Fancy wandering from your deck down across your grassy acre of land through your fruit trees to the river. Perhaps take a picnic to have on the little beach a few doors up along the walking track. Are you searching for that mythical "acre" of flat land on the river in a secluded private home that has solar power and access to 48,000 litres of alpine rainwater for all your needs. Would you love to be self-sufficient with water, power and vegetables? 7131 Great Alpine Road can provide you with all of this and so much more.
Striking to the eye from every angle starting with the bluestone facade overlooking the gravel driveway, this airy, two storey home filled with quality tiling, natural travertine, granite, double glazed glass, wood parquetry and accents of oxidised steel throughout is set to impress.
You are greeted by a large, flowing living space that opens out via 2 sets of stackable glass doors to the central patio area. Huge walk in pantry and laundry off a sizeable, sleek, gourmet kitchen with expansive black granite island bench, opens into the large lounge space with floor to ceiling glazing beckoning you outside. A slow combustion log fireplace connected to hydronic heating panels for the wintery days supplements the reverse cycle heating and air-conditioning throughout. Boasting a dining space for the 10 or 12 seater you can entertain with ease.
Queen size master bedroom with a picture window looking over the changing colours of a 20 year old Japanese maple. Walk through robe and an ensuite that you need to see to believe that encompasses rain shower, spa bath, infrared sauna and toilet with floor to ceiling travertine.
Also downstairs is bedroom number 2 or what could also be your home office and the second generous granite bathroom.
Upstairs is a fabulous zone for kids or guests alike. Here you will find king size bedroom number 3 and a huge rumpus room with vaulted ceiling that could also quite easily be used (as it is now) as a 4th bedroom space and with its abundance of natural light through skylights and high-set window makes for an incredibly inviting space.
A complete package this modern tasteful home located between Bright and Porepunkah rents out at $650 per night to both families and adult groups all year round and could continue to provide a substantial income as a holiday home purchase or just spoil yourselves and keep it as a private oasis just for you.
