Some properties simply cannot be fully appreciated from the photographs alone. With approximately 13.2 acres, more than 150 metres of private Delatite River frontage and an incredibly versatile collection of living spaces, this is one you need to walk through to understand.Elevated above the river flats with sweeping rural views towards Mt Buller, the substantial split-level residence offers five bedrooms, three bathrooms and the flexibility to accommodate a large family, multiple generations or regular guests with ease.A major highlight is the fully self-contained two-bedroom wing, complete with its own kitchen, open plan living and dining area, renovated bathroom and private entry. Previously operated as successful short-stay accommodation, it creates genuine options for extended family, independent teenagers, visiting friends or additional income.The main residence offers generous proportions, multiple living spaces, a wood fire and split-system heating and cooling. While comfortable as it stands, there is also exciting scope for future owners to update the home over time and create something perfectly suited to their own style.A separate powered bungalow or studio with a kitchenette provides even more flexibility, whether used as a home office, creative space or peaceful retreat away from the main residence.Outside, the property is already well equipped for a country lifestyle. Six fenced paddocks, two horse stables, extensive shedding, covered parking for vehicles and a caravan, more than 120,000 litres of rainwater storage, wood sheds, a chook enclosure and a concreted dog run are all in place.The river is undoubtedly the hero, providing a beautiful private setting for swimming, fishing, relaxing or simply enjoying the sound of the water passing by.Lake Eildon is approximately five minutes away, Mansfield is around 15 minutes from home, and Mt Buller and Mt Stirling are within easy reach.This is not simply a five-bedroom home. It is a substantial and remarkably flexible riverfront holding that could serve as a permanent country residence, multi-generational retreat, High Country escape or lifestyle investment.
