47 Dundas Court, Mansfield, Vic 3722

While it's less than 5km from Mansfield's buzzing High Street precinct, the property feels like an exclusive holiday resort with the well established low maintenance gardens providing complete privacy.  They are brimming with bird attracting native plants, and as well as the prolific bird life there's also some delightful resident echidnas and blue tongue lizards.  Entertaining visitors of the human variety will be a pleasure too, with a selection of indoor and outdoor areas that can accommodate quite a crowd.  

The remarkable passive solar home boasts lovely big double glazed windows and doors that frame the beautiful garden vistas and flood the rooms in natural light.  The zoned floorplan includes 4 big bedrooms plus a study and is equally suited to a young family or a couple with house guests who appreciate their own 'space'.  One of our favorite spaces is actually outside: the organic vegetable garden that produces a bounty of produce, with automatic irrigation to keep everything growing even if you are away for a while.  That irrigation system extends to the house gardens too, with rainwater supplied from a 22,500 litre tank. The house and pool are connected to town water and mains power.

There's plenty of room to keep a pony or two, with a nice level area ready to create an arena and stables if that's your thing.  Or perhaps you prefer your horsepower of the motorised variety and the shed is calling your name.  It measures 16m x 7m and boasts 3 phase power and 3 high span roller doors for easy access to park boats, caravans and other vehicles.  There's also an oversized double garage under the house roofline.  

Whatever your passion, this property has so much to offer.  You really need to see the stunning views (including the snow capped peaks of Mt Buller and the surrounding ranges) in person to fully appreciate the privilege this location bestows.
