Overview

This distinctive property combines the enduring charm of a traditional cottage with expansive contemporary upgrades, creating a welcoming family home in the tranquil heart of Harrietville. Located in the scenic Ovens Valley, the house is perfectly positioned on a flat 1966 square meter block that offers abundant sunlight throughout the day – a rare blessing for any garden enthusiast.

The house, originally a modest four-room cottage, has evolved into a thoughtfully designed residence showcasing fine timber craftsmanship. Exposed beams and timber joinery provide warmth and character while reflecting a level of care and attention that elevates the home beyond ordinary.

The spacious open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area serves as the home's social heart, designed for family interaction and comfortable living. A separate lounge with a high ceiling and an open fireplace provides a cozy retreat, and an additional snug room captures peaceful views of the surrounding hills, enhancing the sense of indoor-outdoor connection.

The master bedroom is a luxurious retreat featuring a modern ensuite and private verandah, offering serene views that belie the property's central village location. Additional bedrooms include two queen-sized rooms and a cleverly designed children’s room with built-in beds, ideal for families or visiting grandchildren.

A solar-heated, inground, self-cleaning pool offers an inviting space for outdoor recreation and family fun during warmer months.
Generous off-street parking accommodates up to six vehicles, inclusive of a triple carport and secure 10 by 6-meter lockable shed, perfect for hobbies, storage, or a workshop space.
Solar panels feeding back into the grid and a solar hot water system contribute to efficient, low-cost running expenses.

The lifestyle here promises peace, privacy, and a genuine connection with nature, with the benefits of a close-knit community supporting local amenities such as schools, eateries, pubs, and a bakery all within easy reach. For outdoor lovers, the proximity to the Ovens River and the convenience of nearby Bright and Mount Hotham add significant value.

This exceptional property harmonizes rural tranquillity with practical convenience, making it particularly appealing to families seeking a spacious, character-filled home in an appealing alpine village setting.
