140 Centre Road

Raymond Island VIC 3880

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.

The main residence is designed to sit comfortably within its natural surroundings featuring open plan kitchen, living and dining areas enhanced by vaulted ceilings and hardwood flooring. Water views from the living spaces are complemented by leafy bushland outlooks creating a calm and inviting atmosphere throughout the home. Accommodation includes three bedrooms plus a study or optional fourth bedroom, a central family bathroom, generous laundry and a master suite with private ensuite. 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. Positioned to enjoy easy beach access and tranquil water views across the lake, it features striking timber cathedral ceilings, a flexible open plan layout and mezzanine that fills the space with natural light. With two bedrooms, one bathroom and an open plan kitchen, dining and living zone, it provides an ideal private hideaway, short stay retreat or guest house within the broader property.

The property also has a large shed (12m x 6m) suitable for storing your boat and caravan.

Lifestyle is central to the experience. From kayaking and boating directly from the shoreline to swimming, fishing or simply wandering along the beach, the water becomes part of everyday life. The surrounding bushland invites exploration, quiet moments and a slower pace while the scale of the landholding ensures complete privacy and a genuine sense of sanctuary.

A rare lifestyle holding where nature, sustainability and flexibility come together offering not only an exceptional place to live, but the opportunity to create a lasting retreat with genuine income potential in a truly irreplaceable setting.
