13 Fearns Lane, Myrtleford VIC 3737

This exclusive 7-acre retreat, positioned just 8km from Myrtleford’s hub and embraced by Mt Buffalo National Park, offers a harmonious blend of privacy, breathtaking views, and environmentally conscious design. The elevated site, split into two paddocks amidst thoughtfully landscaped gardens, ensures a peaceful setting with uninterrupted vistas across the Buffalo Creek valley.

The standout residence on the property is a modern two-storey home featuring rendered straw bale construction—a choice that significantly enhances energy efficiency alongside comprehensive double glazing and a robust 4.9kW photovoltaic system. The interplay of sustainable materials and solar power underlines the home’s commitment to environmental responsibility.

A key highlight is the spacious timber kitchen designed for both utility and style, complete with a built-in wine rack and generous pantry. Its location overlooks the clear north side, where bamboo floating floors adorn open-plan dining and living areas that extend seamlessly to a large deck—perfect for relaxation or entertaining while soaking in the sunshine and panoramic landscape.

Complementing the main house is a two-bedroom, one-bathroom studio dwelling located a short distance away, offering versatile potential such as guest accommodation, a bed and breakfast, or a private space for extended family (subject to council approval).

Additional amenities bolster the property’s practicality and recreational capacity. A double garage paired with a double carport grants ample vehicle accommodation, while a barn, multiple sheds, and extensive secure storage beneath the deck cater to workshop or hobbyist needs. The water supply is exceptional, sourced from a bore sharing the regional aquifer used commercially for bottled water and stored in 90,000 litres of tanks, ensuring reliable quality and quantity.

The gardens are a carefully curated asset, showcasing an abundance of fruit and nut trees, an enclosed vegetable garden, and 11 unique truffle oaks amid decorative plantings and lawns. The two paddocks are securely fenced and currently support horse agistment, presenting attractive options for equestrian enthusiasts or small-scale farming pursuits.

This property’s unique combination of tranquility, sustainable living, extensive outbuildings, and proximity to recreational Alpine attractions makes it an appealing choice for buyers seeking a country lifestyle retreat with versatile opportunities.
