Set on just over 12 fully fenced acres beneath the ridgelines of the Ovens Valley, 5a McMahons Lane delivers the rural lifestyle many people only dream about. The mountain views are stunning, with Mount Feathertop rising above the paddocks and trees. Direct access to the Murray to Mountains Rail Trail and the Ovens River puts walking, riding and swimming right on your doorstep.

The solid brick residence is built for family life. A wide, light-filled open plan brings together the kitchen, living and dining areas. The kitchen has a stone waterfall island, a walk-in pantry, a cooktop and wall oven, and a dishwasher. A cosy wood fire anchors the living space. A wall of glass in the dining area frames the paddocks and mountains, so you can see the view from the table. A separate family room, a study and four generous bedrooms give everyone their own space. The master suite has a double-vanity ensuite and plenty of storage, and a family bathroom with bath serves the remaining bedrooms. Ducted heating and cooling and split system air conditioning keep the home comfortable all year.

Outside, the property is made for entertaining. A large covered alfresco area looks over the lawns and pool, with a second pergola beside the swimming pool for long summer afternoons. The fibreglass pool has a slide, travertine coping and rock-and-grass landscaping, and the children also have an in-ground trampoline, swing set and basketball hoop. Raised veggie beds, a greenhouse, established hedging and shade trees, and a chook pen make the grounds productive as well as beautiful. The paddocks are fully fenced for horses or livestock.

The large garage and workshop is ideal for tradies, hobbyists, vehicles, toys and machinery. It has a big carport, a solar array on the roof and plenty of room to work. A separate self contained unit offers options for guests, extended family, a home office or a holiday let, or rental income. A former hair salon at the rear is now a bright, versatile space, ready for a home business, studio, treatment room or retreat.

Combining acreage, accommodation, lifestyle and outdoor access, this property is a rare find in the Ovens Valley. Inspect to appreciate the scale and the setting.
