Welcome to a truly special Lakelands Estate retreat, where privacy, sustainability and natural beauty come together to create a way of living few ever experience. Tucked away at the end of a private access road, this off-grid sanctuary offers peace, self-sufficiency and breathtaking rural surroundings - all just moments from McLaren Falls.
Built in 2017 and thoughtfully designed for modern living, the home is powered entirely by solar energy and is not connected to the grid, offering independence without compromise. A backup petrol generator provides added peace of mind, while Starlink internet keeps you seamlessly connected when needed.
Inside, the spacious open-plan kitchen and lounge flow effortlessly for everyday living and entertaining, complete with a butler's pantry and modern finishes. Four generous bedrooms, including a master with ensuite and walk-in wardrobe, ensure comfort for family or guests, supported by a well-appointed main bathroom and separate toilet.
Step outside and the lifestyle truly shines. Enjoy stunning rural vistas and private lake access, where evenings are best spent watching the sunset beside the fire pit. Established fruit trees and extensive water storage enhance the property's self-sufficient appeal, while practical features like multiple wood sheds and a substantial four-bay garage (three car bays plus workshop) complete the picture.
This healthy homes compliant property is ready for its next owners to simply move in and embrace a slower, more intentional way of life.
This is more than a home - it's freedom, privacy and sustainability wrapped into one exceptional lifestyle opportunity.
