Step into a world where history meets nature at Ashwin's Hut, an extraordinary property on 1.7 pristine acres along the stunning Howqua River. Tucked away directly opposite Fry's Flat in the breathtaking Howqua Hills, this unique hut is a rare find-truly as rare as hen's teeth.
The absolute highlight is sitting on the porch looking down at the magnificent Howqua River and taking in the sounds of the river flowing right past your front doorstep. This gorgeous bush property is in the very tightly held Howqua Hills, surrounded by State Forest and the National Park. With a deep river swimming hole right out front, this is a perfect base for bushwalking, fishing, four-wheel driving, motorbiking, horse riding or simply a country escape from the city.
Built in 1946 by Fred Fry and Ted Ashwin, local bush pioneers, this enchanting hut was designed as a charming alternative to camping, blending rustic charm with rich local history. Imagine evenings spent by the river, surrounded by the whispers of the past and the natural beauty of the region.
